I quit the gym! and other news…

Posted by: curiousillusion on: November 3, 2009

So big day for me today… I went to the gym to cancel my membership.  I had made the decision a few weeks ago to quit, mainly because a) I never go anymore but more importantly because b) I figured I could save the money and put it to better use.  However I was utterly terrified of going… have you seen that episode of Friends where Chandler goes to quit the gym and Ross ends up joining, because they get pressured and they can’t say no?  Yeah, I figured it would be that painful.

However, it was easy.  I went, they printed out a cancellation form and I just have to mail it in.  My brother thinks that most people don’t bother to mail it in and so that’s why you can’t cancel in person… that it’s not really as easy as it seems.  But I was expecting them to really push me to stay, offer me a discount or something.  Nope.  They just asked why I was canceling and said okay.  Hmmm.

Meanwhile, in other news…the Glee soundtrack is out!  Granted, I have all but 3 of the songs but I got to download the last 3 and I’m happy.  Especially because one of the songs is Defying Gravity, from the musical Wicked.  I will admit I like the Broadway version of the song better though… Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth rock my world.  But it’s still a good song.  My favorite line from the song?   “I’m through accepting limits ’cause someone says they’re so.”  I think that’s pretty powerful.

On that note, I had a thought the other day.  I worry too much about what other people think.  I’m going to get over it.  In fact, I’m determined.  Like this blog, for example.  I don’t post about it on Facebook (other than on the fan page) because I don’t want too many people to read it – I’m embarrassed about what people would think if they read this.  But why should I care, right?  This is me, take it or leave it.  I shouldn’t feel bad about what I post here.  I think.

And on THAT note, stay tuned for tomorrow’s blog post… it’s something I’ve been working on for the past 2 weeks and should be very *revealing*.  (Get your minds out of the gutter now please.)

Day 3/30 for NaBloPoMo… check! :)

  • Haha, as soon as you mentioned quitting the gym my mind started playing that friends episode! Glad it wasn't that bad for you. :)
    Intriguing finish...!
  • Lol I wanna see that ep now!
  • You quitting the gym is making me feel a lot better about deciding to buy an eliptical rather than join a gym--Just know I would lose motivation to go so quickly.
  • Oooh that would be cool, to have my own elliptical. I think I'd totally use that. Maybe.
  • Quave
    Wow... looking forward to a smelly revelation. :)
  • :p
  • I don't mention my blog anywhere people in the real world know me...just because my blog is my personal space to reflect and rant as I please! I don't keep it to myself because I'm afraid of what they will think, I just don't want them reading it, you know?
  • Oh yeah youre totally right. I forgot about that.
  • I cancelled my gym membership a couple of weeks ago too. I figured out I will just do some exercise in the streets and then go back when I can truly take advantage of it.

    NaBloPoMo is getting me back to blogging. I'll be sure to comeback tomorrow!!
  • Glad to hear I'm not the only one! :)
