New and Improved Buff Men - don't hold your breathe waiting!

Jeremy and I are on a mission to lose some weight and lean up some body parts. No, we are not going to appear in the next Body Building magazine, but we've joined a gym to try to get some exercise around here in a place where it is cooler than 32 C. The company is Fitness First, the gym is a renovated movie theater so there are some tiered rows of equipment. Quite top notch.

We'll hide the embarrassing before and after pictures for our personal memories and keep such offenses off the web. Day One was today - we'll see what it feels like to roll out of bed in the am.

. . . . . . . . . I almost forgot. My locker key was safety pinned to a face towel that I had in the gym. While I showered, I threw the towel over the shower door. Not thinking, my key was on the outside of the shower door. Reaching my locker after showering bearing nothing but a 30" towel on a well over 30" waist - actually, I think more than a 30" towel was bearing, you get the picture - I realized that someone had stolen my key. Fortunately, Jeremy was changing at our lockers while I was showering so nothing was stolen. I simply had to wait in my bikini towel bottom for what seemed like days, until management could decide what to do. When I reached the front counter to exit, I was told I had to pay P500 as a deposit which would be returned if they found my key. I told them I didn't lose it - it was stolen. That apparently didn't matter. The happy ending to the story was that an employee came running down to the front desk with the key before we left. The key had been thrown into the sauna. I got my P500 back! The biggest lesson learned: go to the store immediately and buy a larger towel!!!
