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'm waiting for our gym dropoff to occur. It's a nightmare at the moment with all the eager new students and that's only going to get worse for the next few months as more and more register... They should be at lectures or something... Although i suspect the novelty will have worn off for most of them by christmas.

People generally don't like going to and coming back from the gym in the dark as well. Especially if using public transport!

Yes I get very self conscious in the gym still. I used to be absolutely terrified that everyone really was watching my every move on each machine, etc but actually they couldn't care less. I do still feel like a twat when I muck up on something - but then I've looked over before in the past and everyone does the same. We're all human - well excluding the gym bunnies because they're just scary!

I'm the other way around ... the colder it is... the more I want to work out. If I had to wear glasses to the gym I'd so break them without even trying.

Men in glasses are sexy.

I've been totally discouraged since the colder weather has started here. I keep thinking I'll go to the gym but then I sit on the couch and eat soup.

I would have sung a glasses song to you. Of course, it would have been in Japanese and would have been the dorkiest thing you'd ever heard in your life, but hey - at least I'd have noticed.

Also, I prefer to work out in the cooler weather as I really do dislike sweating quite a bit.

And apparently you live quite close to a friend of mine. Even more interesting is that the two of you are similar in many ways. I love the intarwebs.
