My big kids were playing at a friends house today, so it was just my Peachy and I at the gym.  

1 hour spin class.  The lady next to me was rubbing some weird stuff in her nose and on her neck every 45 seconds.  WEIRD!

I think I am going to start P90X.  I weighed myself this morning and I the heaviest I've ever been (except while pregnant).  I am really disappointed.  Yes, I want to the lose a few pounds, but I really want to make a life style change.  Hope I don't die doing the P90X :)

Weight: 0.00

brave, brave woman! I'm to chicken to even TRY p90x.

What is up with weirdos in spin classes lately??

From Burt on Thu, Apr 08, 2010 at 17:44:10 from 206.19.214.144

Maybe she was rubbing cocaine in her nose.

So, how much you weigh?

Good luck with P90X. If you need anything, I got you covered.

From KP on Thu, Apr 08, 2010 at 17:45:01 from 65.208.22.26

ahhhhh... I'm thinking of trying p90x too! I'm scared. And, I don't know if I have an hour + to devote to it every day. My days are hectic enough as it is. But, I want to try it. I'm still debating.

From KP on Thu, Apr 08, 2010 at 17:45:37 from 65.208.22.26

when he says "anything" he means the cocaine that your neighbor was using...

From Burt on Thu, Apr 08, 2010 at 17:46:40 from 206.19.214.144

Yeah right. I could put powdered sugar in a ziploc. That's the best I could do.

From Carolyn in Colorado on Thu, Apr 08, 2010 at 21:36:47 from 24.8.167.243

That was a very strange woman in spin class.

I don't know about P90X. I've done it a couple of times myself. I couldn't do all of it.

From Toby on Thu, Apr 08, 2010 at 23:05:47 from 216.194.124.36

Burt - I think I am ok with the powdered sugar hook up. We use it lots for frosting - no need to meet in the hood for a baggie full :)

RAD - I think I need to move to a new bike. I am always by the crazies - or maybe I'm just crazy!

Carolyn and KP - I hope I don't die in the process :)
