Se as Meninas do Leblon Não Olham mais pra Mim

I wore my glasses to the gym last night, for the first time in my life. I was expecting everyone to stop what they were doing, point at me and sing in unisom: "You are wearing glasses! You are wearing glasses!" But nobody cared, nobody gave me a second glance. It's strange lying on a mat, doing stretches while wearing glasses; and I had to take them off to run on the treadmill; but it was absolutely fine when it came to lifting weights.

The gym continues to be empty in the evenings, despite the end of Ramadan. A lot of people must feel discouraged when the temperature drops.

I've noticed a few people (mostly guys) who are gym bunnies -- friends with the staff, always there, etc., but they don't bother me. I sometimes watch them from the corner of my eyes because I'm curious as to what kind of programme they have; but most of them don't seem to do any stretching or warm up, which makes me think they don't really know what they are doing.

Casp mentioned once your gym was in Canary Wharf? Did you guys ever check out the Mile End leisure centre as a potential place to join?

We do keep meaning to but alas we're still in Canary Wharf Gym at the moment. Though we are going to check it out soon honest ;o)
