Gym shopping

I'm going to have to do it: breakdown and join a gym. I'm not a big fan. All the sweat, germs, odors, unsightly people in workout clothes just make me sick. But with the weather changing quickly, I have no way of working out without joining a gym, And I don't have the space in my house to buy equipment.

I have a couple of free 5 day passes to gyms. I think I'll start shopping around next week. I shudder the thought. I'm trying to remain positive, focusing on the classes I'll have at my disposal, all the equipment, and let's not forget the free child care.

Skinny does not = fit

I've heard it over and over my whole life, "You're so skinny!" People mean it to be a compliment, but I don't take it as one. Skinny to me is a negative word. It brings to mind a bony and unhealthy person. I don't want to be that person. I want some sexy curves. I'll never have ankles or wrists or even breasts, so please, grant me some curves at a minimum. A waist and some booty are fine with me.

I want to be fit, not skinny.

And please, stop using the word "skinny". It's almost as bad as using the word "fat".

No salt sucks

I don't know how much longer I can take this low sodium thing. I'm going crazy. I can't add any salt to my food. Period. Doesn't matter if the food is totally bland and incredibly tasteless. I cannot under any circumstances add salt. The foods that used to be delicious are now mediocre at best. A Jersey tomato is just NOT the same without a little salt. I never used a ton of salt. I always sprinkled it in my palm before sprinkling it on my food.

But c'mon, we can all admit that a little salt goes a long way. Problem is I can't have even a little. Not happy.
