Weird Dream




Hey guys,

So I meant to write something yesterday, but... well here's what happened. I went to the gym yesterday afternoon. I was a bit nervous since I've never really worked out before. However, I've walked through the weight room at school plenty of times so I have plenty of images in my head of boys pumping iron. I figured I should just try doing what they do, right? Wrong!

I decided to start with bicep curls since it's probably the easiest to do. I thought, how cool would it be to have big arms? I picked up the 20lb dumbells, which was a mistake. I could barely move them, let alone do a single curl. I'm such a wimp! I tried the 15's and the 10's, still too heavy. WIth the 5's I was able to do a few curls, but I felt so pathetic. However, the pump felt kinda good so I tried not to think about the weight too much. For the rest of my workout, I pretty much just did machines since they all have instructions. I just don't think I'm ready for the heavy weights, yet. Someday!

At the end of my workout, I was a mess. I was walking funny which probably means I overdid it. As I was on my way out, I bumped into my new boss, Mr. Borkowski. He asked me how my workout went, so I flexed him my little girlie guns. He laughed and asked me what kind of post-workout protein drink I was going to have. I told him I don't know and never thought about it. He said it was the most important thing to do after working out, that and sleep. He then took me next do to the vitamin shop and mixed together a few powers and some milk and mixed it in one of those shakey drink mixer things that bartenders use. He poured it into a cup for me and told me it'll help me recover from the workout.

I took his word for it and gave it a sip. I lied and told him it was delicious, when it really just tasted like really bitter chocolate and... I dunno paprika or something. Regardless, I drank the whole thing and thanked him. When I go home, I took a shower, noticing how sore my body started to feel. I also started to get really sleepy and immediately after showering, I curled up into my bed, with my towel wrapped around me, and dosed off.

Then there was this dream... I don't know how to describe it. You really can't describe dreams with words, but basically it was like being in a different body. When I looked around, everything look smaller. Chairs, tables, doorways, all looked like they had been designed for children. I felt strong, like I could move anything, lift anything. I was confident, powerful and I wanted more. I could feel all kinds of control in my muscles that I hadn't felt before. It was like being able to flex muscles I didn't even know I had. I liked it... no I loved it!

I woke up this morning, confused because that would mean I slept for about 14 hours. I never do that. I got home from the gym in the afternoon. What the heck was that dream about? I wanted more! When I got dressed, I noticed all of my clothes seemed to fit a bit tighter than usual, probably nothing, but worth noting. How cool would it be to fill out my shirts with big arms and shoulders? Maybe someday... Anyways, I gotta get to work. First day of training at the shop! Tootles!

Love,

I joined a gym




Thanks for the encouragement, Area Orion! It's still kinda wierd to me, but it's been a long time since I've been so excited about something.

Since today was finally a nice day I decided to go for a jog around the neighborhood. Ok, it started as a jog and then became more of a sweaty fast walk. I'm way more out of shape than I realized. Then you won't believe this, I ended up sweaty walking by a little gym in a strip mall not too far from where I live. I'd seen it before, especially when I was little and used to ride my bike to a pizza shop that's not there anymore. The gym's been there forever and now the pizza shop is a wierd looking health food vitamin type store. Lucky me, the store had a "Now Hiring" sign in front. Remember how I wanted that summer job? I thought, hmm if I want to get buff (or at least try) this could be the perfect place to work!

The shop was wierd, but so are vitamins so what did I expect. They had a lot of huge containers of protein powder and all kinds of drinks and pills for energy, smartness, burning fat and of course, building muscle. There were even a number of products in wierd bottles that were labeled in some foreign language like Eastern European or Egyptian. I dunno. The point is, you'd have to shop there for years I'm guessing to be able to try everything just once.

Anyways, I met with the owner, a goofy little man who apparently owns the gym next door. He said he'd been running the shop for years by himself but when he bought the gym last year, he got really overwhelmed and needs someone to work the shop for him. I told him I have some excellent retail experience (a total lie) and that I would love to work there. I thought he would need at least a few days to make a decision, but he said he'd hire me. How cool is that!? Not only that, he told me I could use the gym for free!

So yeah, my first day training at the shop will be this weekend! Tomorrow, I'm gonna start at the gym which is a bit scary since I've never worked out. Wish me luck!

Love,
Mel

My First Blog!!




Ok, so I'm trying to make the best of a crappy situation. I'm on spring break, but all my friends went on a road trip to Miami without me :( I'm stuck up here in the Northeast because I simply couldn't afford to go. I always try to save money over the summer when I work but I always seem to spend it all in time to miss a crazy fun week on the beach with my ladies.

So yeah, I'm just trying to find ways to pass the time for the next few days. It rained all day yesterday so I was cooped up inside. I tried to cook myself a burger for lunch... big mistake! I almost burned down the house! So what's a a girl to do? What else? I spent most of the day on the internet of course.

I was trying to be productive, looking for a new summer job, college clothes, kitten youtube videos, etc. Alright, I admit I even looked at some pictures of cute boys. There's definitely no shortage there, but they all look so proud of themselves. Kinda gross. Oh, and speaking of gross, in my quest for cute boy pics I ended up accidentally running into some pictures of bodybuilders. Ugh, muscles are so disgusting... at least that's what I used to think.

So yeah, the muscular guys all creeped me out but then I stumbled upon some photos of some lady bodybuilders. I didn't even know they existed and I have to admit, it was kinda hot! I don't know what it was, but something about a woman having that much size, strength and power just gave me goosebumps.

All day today I couldn't stop thinking about it. Then I got thought, I wonder if I could get that big! I mean, I guess I can only get so big. I'm only 5' nothing and I'm a bit skinny. No abs or nothing, but definitely not chubby. I'm pretty cute, but no one seems to notice me except my little group which are all living it up in the tropics right now!

So here I am, starting a silly blog since I kinda wanna keep this a secret from my close friends and family. If there's anyone reading this who thinks I should try to build some muscles, give me a shout out!

Love,
Mel
