Today I went to the gym.
The same gym we have been paying for for way too long and yet...not really using.
When we first signed up I was going 3xs a week and then life got in the way..
But, after not using this "product" that we were dishing out money for, I decided enough is enough with 1)feeling down about my weight and 2)paying for something we weren't using.
Today was technically day 2 after many weeks of being away...and well, it took all of 10 seconds for a super buff, workout guy to approach me while I walked the treadmill.
He noticed my shirt (Go Aggies) and asked if I went to school there (been there done that, class of '06 whoop) and then he talked about him growing up in College Station. He then asked what I got my degree in (English, certified to teach) and told me how awesome that was and rambled on about the importance of English degrees and teachers and this and that. He asked the stereotypical, "you come here often" (not so much, can you not tell by the sweat building up from my simply walking this treadmill?!) and other random things.
But then...when he asked what I do now and I said, "stay home with my 10 month old..." He looked at me sorta awkwardly and said, "oh, cool....so nice talking with you." And then left.
Hmmm...guess he wasn't looking for a stay at home mom/homemaker.
Oh...and the kicker?
He was at least 70-80 years old!!!!
Super buff? Yes!
Talked like a young'en trying to pick up a gal? Yes!
A man old enough to be my Gp? Oh most definitely!
Liked that I was a SAHM/homemaker? Totally not his cup of tea!
Regardless of his age...I think that this means I still got it, right? ;)
Lol, great story, and yes, you've still got it!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, you totally still got it!!
ReplyDeleteHa ha!
ReplyDeleteThe last guy to give me a pick up line was about 80 years old and I was in a Tim Hortons getting coffee and donuts on a road trip while Andrew did kid changing duty in the car...
Haha, that's awesome! You should tell your hubby he has some competition, lol! Good for you for going back to the gym. I admire people who go to the gym and work out in front of people, that is on my list of worst fears ever!
ReplyDeleteYou go mama!
ReplyDeleteHaha! You do still got it! I've yet to have someone try to pick me up in the gym, but I'd still have to have my standards. No older than 50! ;)
ReplyDeleteCM-lol!!! You know, the muscles could be deceiving! ;) ...his face was definitely Gp...the arms and legs, not so much..hahaha!

ReplyDeleteI told my Gm this story, same way as I posted (leaving out his age until the end) and she about fell over from laughing! She said, "that's like me going out and flirting with someone your dh's age!" Lol!!!!
ReplyDeleteLol this is awesome.
