What is it with everybody on this site?
I mean, why are you all so damned cool? I know I sound like a total lame-o right now, but I’m speaking the truth. Before I discovered Buddyslim, I used to post on another site of the same nature, but it was nothing like this. The people who used that particular site (which shall remain nameless) seemed more concerned with making their name sparkle…and adding tons of flashy (annoying, if you ask me) graphics….rather than the actual content of their posts. Fast forward to this site. Seriously, everybody here seems so down to earth…after reading everybody’s blogs, I feel like I know you all…is that completely bizarre, or does anybody have a clue where my crazy ass is coming from? Stay cool people! :)
In other news…I’m about 90% done moving….the unpacking is a very slow and gradual process…and frankly…as long as I have clean underwear that day, the rest of my clothes and shoes can remain in the garbage bags I packed them in. (My ancestors were the Clampetts…you’ll have to forgive me.) I’ve been moving furniture and boxes like crazy, so I ‘ve had tons of extra exercise in my day. I can’t wait (seriously CANNOT wait) until I’m moved in.
I made it the the rec this morning for a workout. I couldn’t get myself there yesterday…I was too sore from moving furniture from Monday. Anyhoo…when I got there at 6:45am Monday, all of the elderly folks had claimed all the good machines….so I was stuck using a crappy treadmill until a good one opened up. Well, I knew I’d have to beat all of the old folks (does this offend anybody?) to the machines…so I got to the rec at 6:28am (opens at 6:30). I saw one younger guy waiting outside the front doors…and then a second later, I could have sworn I saw one of the older guys come and open the door for him…like it was a huge secret, and he was sneaking the other guy in. (”Hurry up and get in here before all the good machines are taken. I’ll sneak you in. Just be quick about it!” I have such a crazy imagination at times…god forbid I ever put it into something useful, ya know?) Well, I ended up getting on the elliptical for about 25 mins…then lifted for about 20 min. (I had to be out of there by 7:15….I might be able to stretch it to 7:20 in the future.) I much prefer working out at the rec vs the huge-ass gym. I feel so much more comfortable…and as I mentioned in a comment on another gal’s blog…the people who come to the rec are their for a reason…not just to look cool. My rec makes me happy.
Alright folks…I must be off for the day. Alas, I am at work right now…and I suppose I should do something semi-productive. Boo. Have a great Hump Day!

It’s like a big confession booth here. And everyone is so great, about letting you know you aren’t alone. Heh. And that REALLY helps. Summer
This is the first site I’ve found that seems to balance genuine support and comraderie, with enthusiasm and dedication.
Every where else I’ve been tends to be too far one way or the other.
your blog made me smile and laugh. i go to the ymca to work out and i feel that it has the same vibe as your “rec”. if i go in the morning i have to wrestle old folks for the elliptical machines.
Granny Clampett is my hero… feisty little lady. LOL
I used to go to a small hole in the wall gym. Nothing fancy at all about it. You signed a form saying you wouldn’t sue them, you pay your $25 a month if you want to come that month. No prissy people there afraid their makeup will get ruined or that they will sweat too much. I loved it.
Don’t work too hard. I know I’m not. LOLOL
Hugs,

Welllll, it was bound to happen that a site was created for such cool people as ourselves! I’m just saying…
Great job getting to the rec so early — if only I could be so energetic in the morning!! Keep up the hard work — 150, here you come!! GRRRR! 
You know… your right. I’ve only been here for 4 days now but the people here are great. They are more about helping each other than self glorification. I love buddyslim.
Great job on the rec!
As for the coolness factor:
That’s just how we roll here at buddyslim.
Isn’t buddyslim great. I have enjoyed these people so much. FIGHT YOU FOR THE MACHINES! Granny Marge
I don’t know about you but I couldn’t compete with the older folks either. There is no way I can wake up that early to compete with them. I’d have to go to bed by 7:00 PM to do that! Not happening. Good for you getting your workout in. And I love the Clampetts reference. Cracked me up.
