Guest guest Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 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. laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 omg laura you are too funny and so like me... I am 5'7" but 176 (use to be 200 +) but pretty fit. I am not the healthiest eater but getting much better from all the info here. I go to the gym teach a spin class that is TOUGH - I try to go with atletic guys but I have PhD in econ so that is intimating. And like you most are gay or not into "someone my size". So I date a computer nerd. He said he liked cycling so that is why I started cycling and he never joined in. He sometimes works out but won't with me........... oh well that is why I live alone and work out at home! thanks to you guys I have great dvd collection judy s in MD To: exercisevideos Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2008 3:32:59 PMSubject: Jen / the single exerciser/ projected workout itinerary for the week.
