Day 282: Saying Goodbye to My Little Secret

  • Kerrie

After consuming way too many calories on Tuesday (all because that big software company in Redmond that starts with an M — yes, I will continue to blame them unless I lose weight this week then they will be off the hook), I really wanted to do something on Wednesday. It couldn’t be before or after work, though, which really limits my options.

Then I remembered that even though I canceled my membership at the Secret Gym, I had actually paid through the end of the month for it. So I packed my bag on Tuesday night.

On Wednesday, I drove over to the Secret Gym, changed in the spacious, clean bathroom and then rode the stationary bike for 30 minutes, or 10 miles. I read my book. Nobody else came in the little gym while I was there. It was so quiet and relaxing.

I am a little sad that I won’t be able to use this gym anymore. I just can’t afford to pay for two gym memberships. Of course, I do have a real bike hanging in my garage, but let’s not get crazy here, people. Real bikes are way too scary.

I can’t lie. The thought crossed my mind that I could probably go to the Secret Gym on occasion if I wanted to. I doubt anyone would notice or think to look up whether or not I ended my membership. But I’m too chicken. Besides, bad things happen when I break the rules.

So…I have a confession to make about the Secret Gym. The first time I went there back in December (read here), I snuck in with my co-worker and worked out without paying anything.

I know.

I just wanted to “try it before you buy it,” you know?

The very next day, I got in a car accident. (Read about it here.)

Goodbye little, quiet, clean and convenient gym that nobody knows about. And, rest assured; your secret’s safe with me.

First “paid for” visit and stationary bike ride.
(And the beautiful bathroom.)

    So sorry for loss–but I'm with you on the bad karma thing. It just wouldn't be right to sneak in.

    Karma's a bad thing. I talked mess about your Ting Tings song and your playlist in general and Lois paid for it.I'd also be scared to try and go there without having a membership.

    It's probably best not to sneak in and tempt karma.I'm the world's worst liar. I would probably blurt out something stupid and have them looking up my account as soon as I walked in the door.
