The Girls At The Gym Hate Us Now

Only one week has passed since Amalia and I decided to lose weight. While yesterday morning I had 1.6kg less than a week before, this morning I was back up to 89.4kg, making the difference only 300 grams. It's a continuous up and down. [sigh]

We knew we had to do crazy shit to do lose weight. And we have started, last Monday, at the gym.

Amalia told me a body styling course was up at 7:30 last Monday and that she was going, so I planned accordingly and did weights beforehand. Being at it I noticed, however, that actually it was up at 8:30. The course at 7:30 was an aerobic class. "Aerobic I", it said on the plan, so it was neither the beginners' course nor the super-advanced one where you have to have mastered every move. Having done body styling and some aerobic moves before, I thought I could easily handle it. The world is not enough, right?

So we decided to do aerobic. As we stood in position I noticed that the only other men in the course were two gay guys. It was a course full of girls, and yet I didn't suspect anything. On the contrary, I was standing in first line with Amalia. Beginners should be in the first row so that they learn, right?

So the course started, and very soon we discovered that we did not know all the moves. Actually, some of them were way beyond our capacity. The teacher threw nothing but mono- or bisyllabic words at us, most of which seemed to be clear instructions for everybody, just not for us.

The girls kept going in perfect patterns, it seemed, while at some point Amalia and I started tumbling around like love childs of drunk village idiots and stranded whales. A couple of times I must have almost run into one of the girls next to me who had decided to move into a different direction than I. That bitch.

However, when I asked Amalia somewhere in the middle of the one-hour course whether she wanted to leave, she dismissed, "Nah, we've already made complete idiots of ourselves and annoyed everybody. I'm staying."

That's the spirit!
So we stayed.

The two gay guys actually made me a compliment when the course was over. And I even think that for my first time I didn't do such a bad job.

Too bad nobody appreciated our performance as our first.
But we will be back, harder than ever.

The world will have to deal with us.
