This week's GBE2 word prompt is judgment. I had been working on this entry for a few days and realized that it expresses several definitions of judgment.
judgment: An assertion of something believed. (Life is better with chemistry)
I have mentioned a few times that I am back at the gym in another attempt to shed these Paxil pounds I gained back in 2008 and the Prozac belly that followed them. (Acquiring central obesity while in a mellow mood was less satisfying that being anxious and slightly overweight). Fortunately, I have not give up on addressing my PMS and SADs . Whether it is tea, exercise, sex, or a pill, I don't want to be high strung anymore.I work-out in the recreational center at the local university. Yes, I get sweaty and winded around the beautiful people. Young men and women between 18-24, whose bodies have not acquired the stretch marks that identify the departure of the 20's or the shift of fat that takes place just before one achieves 40 years of age. I am at that age where the simple long-arm wave or high-five gives me pause.
I will wait for you to do the visual on that one. Don't judge me, I have arm fat.
judgment - the cognitive process of reaching a decision or drawing conclusions (the great bag search of 2011)
After some consideration, I realized that this new routine required a new gym bag.
I have been researching gym bags for the past two weeks.
OMG
Selecting the correct gym bag requires careful consideration. You would not believe the technology that goes into a simple gym bag.
- Ventilated shoe pocket (Keeps dirty shoes from my wet clothes)
- anti-microbial pocket (to keep wet clothes from becoming smelly wet clothes)
- Water bottle holder (There's nothing worse that making that 200 yard walk from the car to the gym floor only to realize that I forgot my water bottle)
- Pocket for mp3 player and wallet (The extra pocket for the items which individually cost more than the bag)
- U shaped opening (Hot dog! Opens up like a suitcase)
- Durable self repairing zipper (Self-repairing means that if the zipper spreads open below the slider,
you can simply pull the zipper back down to reseal the teeth.; I had to research that one)
- Padded shoulder strap (The bag be heavy, yo)
- Large enough to hold a towel, makeup bag and shower kit (I can work-out longer if I head straight to work)
- Lots of handles (Makes it easier to pull out of the locker)
