Back in the late 80s a funny thing happened on the way to the gym…
Compared to now, I did not have much weight to lose at all. Seriously, I think I needed to lose 20 pounds. 20 pounds? I would love to have only 20 pounds to lose. But I digress…
So, my husband and I joined a gym. I worked full-time, but tried to drag myself to the gym several times a week. I started going less and less as I was so tired from working all day. In order to get myself back to the gym, I joined a racquetball league at the gym.
I had played squash in high school and college. Well, the league began and my first opponent was a no-show. In the second round, my next opponent had to withdraw due to a broken wrist. I was beginning to feel guilty about not playing, but I got over it. That ole laziness gene again. By a process of elimination I made it to the final, where unfortunately my opponent showed up. I lost the match, but came away with the second place trophy. I am a little too honest for my own good, so I was unable to tell this story without mentioning my lack of opponents.
Fast forward to 2008, where I am once again a member of gym. I no longer work full-time. I have three kids that I never dreamed of having back in the 80s. I’m still incredibly unmotivated to go to workout. But, I am determined to workout 2 or 3 times per week. Maybe I should look in to a tournament…
