Today I went to the new gym that opened in my town. I assumed it was an independently owned operation, but that was not the case. Instead, it is a franchise.
Am I disappointed by this?
Somewhat. It is a place that is not staffed routinely. You have to use a key card to enter the front door, there are no locker rooms, showers, or water for sale. The staff is there only part of the time. The franchise advertises that it is open 24-7 for your convenience, however, our city ordinance does not allow this.
My hesitation revolves around the safety of an un-manned business. For example, if I am a woman working out alone, and there are three men also working out, what is preventing them from attacking me? Another concern I have is about health issues. An asthmatic could have a deadly attack in the middle of their workout and have no assistance. When I voiced my concerns, the young blond skinny bitch that showed me around said, “Hmmm…I never thought of that.” Really. Not surprised. SKINNY BITCH!!!
Anyway, I signed up for one month, hoping to shed the ghastly 70 lbs. of baby weight I’ve collected for the past nine years. It comes on so fast and is stubborn as hell to leave. Apparently I am a very hospitable host. Maybe something to do with Ben & Jerry’s? I know what you’re thinking, so FUCK OFF!!!
We’ll see if I can survive one month of the skinny bitch and her skinny bitch personality and her skinny bitch co-workers. The worst part is that I was once a hot blond skinny bitch too. Fuck, Fuck, Fuck!!!
Film at eleven!

Ah, the gym. No place can be quite as eviscerating emotionally as the gym. Be strong, dear heart! You rock it already more than you know, and that blondie would do well to follow you around to learn a thing or two!

Thank you babe! You don’t know how much I needed to hear that.
Things are so emotional and tiring right now, it helps to know someone is in my corner. I’ll pay it forward, I promise!
