LAURA Re: Jen / the single exerciser/ projected workout itinerary for the week.

[Guest guest]

FINALLY! I would LOVE it if you started a singles fitness club! The story of my life has always been, the guys I like don't like me, the guys that like me I CAN'T STAND! LOL. I was hoping that I could meet someone at volleyball but most of those guys are either married, gay, have a girl-friend, too young/immature or not interested in me. If I met a Deaf man that I liked I would definitely date him because DUH I know the language...but one Deaf guy at bowling a couple of years ago told me that I would be able to get a boy-friend if I lost some weight. There are singles groups here in Michigan but I don't want to spend the money meeting people that may or may not be attracted to me because of my weight or

whatever.. or visa versa! I'm not dating and really with my schedule it would be hard... I'm classified as obese because I'm only 5'1" and weigh 201 lbs but I don't feel that way. To me most obese people don't have an active life style. They come home eat, watch tv, etc.... I'm always on the go even at work because I'm working at colleges and there is a lot of walking involved, going up and down stairs etc.... I was playing volleyball one day a week and swimming 2 days a week but since I got a very painful heel spur and bone chip in my ankle I stopped doing those. Now though my heel doesn't hurt YAH but I have this nasty sinus infection so I feel pretty crappy and I don't want to play volleyball. I can't go swimming because getting water in my nose/ears will just make my sinuses worse, plus like I said I feel crappy! I am still bowling though so that's better

than nothing. I'm hoping that if I get more rest over the Thanksgiving holiday I will feel better and I can start walking on my treadmill and doing exercise videos.

Jen, we need to start a singles fitness club!

My frustration is that I'm technically a BBW because I'm 190 lbs at

5'4", but the fact is I'm very healthy, I eat very well (just too much

- even the personal trainer couldn't believe how healthy my

refrigerator was packed) and I'm quite fit.

The fit men - the trainers, the runners, the ones that can actually

keep up with me and more, aren't interested in me because I'm too fat

for them. Many have flat out said as much. Other men *say* they are

fit and want to work out with me, but when it's time to make a date at

the gym they bail.

I'm not specifically looking for a man who is perfect looking, chisled

or hulk-like, I just want someone who is active 3+ days a week and

walks the talk and has a brain and a heart.

You'd think the gym would be a great pick up place for me, but in

Portland it's really not. A lot of the guys there are gay, and those

that aren't are so into their workouts that picking up on women isn't

their focus; they really are there to work out. I get more flirts,

hugs and pecks from beautiful women at the gym than I ever do from

men! And that's always nice too

END OF RANT~

Last night I taught Turbo Kick R15 to the stony faces, and the mic was

broken so my voicebox, in addition to my body, was sore afterwards.

I'm sore from 2 days' worth of teaching, so I plan on doing yoga of

some sort tonite. Tomorrow I have plans, but on Thanksgiving I'd like

to do Ripped or some form of strength training before heading over to

my folks'. Friday will be cardio, and Saturday I think I'm doing a

ball workout with my neighbor. She just got a stability ball and is

itching to use it.
