My Inner 16 Year Old

When I go to exercise class I revert to the maturity level of a high schooler.  I have a girl-crush on the instructor, Amy.  I love her.  She's so fit.  She's so nice.  Where did she buy that tank top, I wonder?  I want one like it.  Did she lose a little weight?  She smiled at me.  She likes me.  Maybe she just smiles at everyone.  I wonder if she notices that I'm using heavier weights than her?  I feel so strong.  I'm lifting the most weights of anyone.  Except that brunette beside me.  How does she lift such heavy weights?  It's ridiculous.  I think she must be cheating.  She doesn't go through the whole range of motion.  She has great legs.  Am I cuter?  I think I'm cuter.  But she definitely has better legs.  But I lift more on the arms.  Ha.  I want arms like Amy's.  I can't believe how long these lunges are going on.  I can't believe how much that brunette can lift.  She's smiling at me.  I'm smiling back.  She's nice, I guess.  I still think she cheats.  This is too much weight for me.  I don't know if I can last.  I have to last.  Don't let Amy see how much I'm struggling, here.  Concentrate.  How does Amy do it?  HA.  The brunette shifted to her knees for pushups halfway through the first set and I stayed on my toes the whole time.  Take that, Ms. Killer Squats.  Where are your heavy weights now?  I wonder if Amy noticed.  I don't know about this haircut.  Maybe I should grow it long again.  Why can't I do lunges?  I don't like that blonde in the back of the room.  She looks mean.  Is that guy on the chin up bar cute?  I can't tell.  Is he looking at us?  He should come in here and try this.  I bet it's harder than what he's doing.  I should probably have heavier weights for these deadlifts.  We're almost done.  Maybe I'll say something to Amy after class.  Maybe I'll tell her to have a nice weekend.  That's what I'll do.

That was brilliant. Hey, maybe exercising raises the hormone levels to teenage levels?

I recently have take up piano lessons again, and I feel about 12(when I last quit lessons). I'm nervous and worried during my lessons, but I'm enjoying the whole process much more this time around.

Good for you! Group exercise is fantastic. I think everyone compares form and weights. Pushups on your toes, way to go!

Ha! I totally catch myself doing the same thing in yoga class, which is totally un-yogic of me but is somehow motiviating none-the-less.

OMG, I do the same thing. In fact, there is this cute punky girl who just happens to be in all the same group classes that I do at the Y. I recently passed by one that I want to try, and she's in it! I'm nervous that she'll think I'm stalking her or something...

Great observation about yourself in this little story, I to have a crush on my instructor named Amy, I am curious if this is the same instructor, she has brown hair, teaches weight training, aerobics in rob gym and other classes. Let me know if we have a common thread......
