New Gym for me in Cornelia, Georgia

     Day by day, I've been doing bits of the "settling in" thing since I've returned to the USA and have taken up residence with my parents in Habersham County, Georgia.  I joined a gym.  It's called "Any Time Fitness," and that means just what it says -- I have access to it twenty-four/seven.  I was given a discount because I've been a teacher.  Use of the tanning beds are included in my membership.  The only thing I'm disappointed about is that it has only one shower booth for men to use.  Because it's in a "unisex" bathroom, I guess women can use it too.  There is a "women's" bathroom, and I guess it has a shower in it too.  I guess people here like to keep things very private.  That's not a bad thing, but after using "community styled" men's showers for so long in South Korea, it feels kinda odd, and I feel that I have to kinda hurry it up a bit while using the shower, so that I don't keep anyone waiting to use the bathroom.  Oh well!  

     So far, it hasn't been crowded any time while I've been there.  In fact, I've been the only one there at times.  Cool!

     A picture like this can preach a message that’s as inspirational (if not more so) and worthy of embracing as any ever voiced or written. From it, I can receive fuel for noble purposes.

I don't know, for sure, when I'll be back in a gym again!

   
I don't know exactly when I'll get back into a gym to workout again!  I've been waiting on my doctor's okay (since my minor surgery), but healing has it's own schedule, and I'll be departing South Korea within the next several days.

     Anyway, I believe should monitor my diet carefully through this coming week.  I've never flown American Airlines across an ocean before, so I'm not sure how much (or how little) they feed their passengers.  I'll assume they'll feed us more than we need to eat, and, since I've not been working out, I'll reduce my intake a bit all through the week.

     I'm not sure how soon, after landing home at last, when I'll find a suitable gym and get a weekly workout schedule all tailored to my liking!  But, all the foods I've missed!  I must exercise control!

     In the mean time, I'll gather all the inspiration and information I can about exercises.  Hopefully, I won't be without internet connection for long!

Can You Train Too Hard?

Can You Train Too Hard?

When I think "healthy looking guy," something like this comes to mind!



I wouldn’t mind if he looked something like this.

Very lovely picture done in good taste (according to my tastes).
