“You know what sucks?”
“What?”
“It sucks when you still feel fat even after working out.”
If it wasn’t for my roommates I would probably never go to the gym. Although I decline 95 percent of the time they ask me to go, they still ask every time they go. This morning was no different. There we were at approximately 9AM, Joo flopped belly down on the couch and me lying on the bed, awake but not willing to get up, when Joo asks, “Do you want to go to the gym today?” Now the question itself is a bad one since I NEVER want to go to the gym. I thought it over and asked when she was going to go since I knew that she would go even if I didn’t. She said she didn’t know. I was planning on working all day preparing for the first week of school but didn’t feel motivated yet. In fact, I didn’t feel like doing anything. So I thought maybe working out will motivate me to be more active and alert throughout the day. Once I decided that I was willing to go to the gym, I told Joo that we had to go now before I changed my mind. I jumped out of bed and quickly changed into my workout clothes. Joo was surprised and went into her room to get ready. I also requested a cup of coffee and ho-dduk (round Korean bread with melted brown sugar inside) so that I would have enough energy to workout. Once they were consumed we were off to Bally’s. I even tried out a new gym equipment at Joo’s suggestion, a new elliptical machine that you can add inclines to. Of course, I did not use the incline function as it would make my workout a challenge. But I did stick it through for a thirty minute workout. On the drive home, we had the above conversation.
After we got home, Joo decided she needed to finally go and get her very first oil change done on her car. While Dae was visiting, he kept nagging her about it and told her to better take care of her car. I think it took Joo about four hours from the time she decided to get an oil change and the time she actually left the house to head over to the auto mechanic. While she was walking towards the door of the house, she kept moaning, “I hate going to the auto mechanic. Ugh… I hate doing stuff like this.” And I couldn’t help but think, ‘Wow, that’s exactly how I feel about going to the gym.’
I recently got a Bally’s membership renewal form in the mail. Right now I’m thinking…NO.
