Last night I had my first workout at Lucille Roberts in downtown Brooklyn. Now being that it's in downtown Brooklyn, you know it was interesting. If you don't know-I'll tell you. Let's just say, all of Taquan's baby mutha's was there. I know, I know that's not fair but, true isn't always fair. All jokes aside, since I've never been to a Lucille Roberts I didn't really know what it would be like. At this particular location the main focus is classes. The class area is on the main gym floor (the whole gym is the main gym floor actually, it's small) and the weights and cardio machines are on the perimeter facing the class. During class the backs of the participates are to the people training on machines. I actually liked that part because the upbeat music that they use can be heard by everyone working out and it really helped me last night.

I just don't understand why women are so catty towards each other. I picked Lucille Roberts not only because of the price and location but because it's all women. I was tired of feeling to intimidated to use the free weights or machines where all the muscle heads congregated. I'm too sensitive I suppose. I need to grow tougher skin and not give a crap what other peoples agendas are. I'm trying to work on this.

Overall I'm glad that I joined. It's not a fancy place to work out but it will get the job done. I have 6 weeks left before I have to take it all off and I want to be ready. I mean, I'm already fabulous so can you imagine the unveiling?!

I was at the gym that day. I didn't see any cattiness ( is that a word?) I actually like that gym. And the baby mama quote was so unapproiate. That's the problem with us, we like to tear each other down and create stereo types for ourselves. It's sad. If I see you in the gym I am going to approach you and introduce myself. I am a very nice woman who just so happens to be a baby mama and is so not catty!

Hey Anonymous,

Wow! I'm kinda shocked that my comment even reached so far. I've received some flack about what I said and my intention wasn't to "tear anyone down". This blog is my way of releasing-I can't apologize for how it comes out.
If you see me definetly say hello! I'm a few pounds heavier than in the pic these days-hence the new membership : )

-Maria
