Bye Bye Y

I cancelled my membership to the YMCA the other day.

With our move coming up (July 1!) and getting used to a new environment in that regard, I didn't want to have to get used to a new YMCA and exercise routine right away as well. I think it's better for me to ease into all of these changes.

But, oh, how I do love the Y. My routine consists of Body Pump (two times a week), Tabata (one to two times), and yoga (once a week). I love it. I love being strong. I'm one of the strongest people in the Body Pump class (except for when it comes to the dead row, which I can't lift strong on for the life of me).

And I love this particular Body Pump instructor so very much, I'm not ready to get used to another one. (It's kind of like not wanting to get a new pet too soon after your old one dies.)

So, I will settle into this summer, doing a minimal amount of things (if I can help it), and then perhaps pick up with the Y again in the fall.

Do you want to know how much I weigh? I weigh 137 pounds. I don't feel like I weigh 137 pounds, and I don't think I look like I weigh 137 pounds, so I'm wondering if a lot of that weight is muscle.

I wonder what my Body Pump instructor weighs? It would be weird to ask her. But she won't be seeing me again after June 30, so what do I care?

(I do care, of course, because she's really cool and I don't want her last impression of me to be of a nerd asking her how much she weighs... instead, she'll remember me as the nerd who wore stupid gym shorts with paint on them and couldn't do a decent dead row.)
