The unofficial start of summer is upon us. For those of you traveling on this weekend, have a safe and fun trip. And for those of you who are traveling to the lovely northern Jersey Shore region, please don’t be pains in the asses. Let’s start this season off on a good note, okay?

I’m not kidding. Don’t suck.

Everyone have a safe and fun Memorial Day Weekend!

Be Careful and Have Fun Tonight

New Year’s Eve is always one of those holidays where you want everyone to have a great time, but still be careful and cognizant of everyone else around them. Unlike other fun events like the SuperBowl, the Fourth of July, or Labor Day Weekend, New Year’s Eve is a night where people tend to get wrecked without much thought for what comes next because most people have the following day off!

So whatever it is that you decide to do tonight, have fun and be safe. Happy New Year’s everyone!

New/Old Gym & Swimming Again

For those of you who have been reading this blog for the last few years, I feel sorry for you. Ha ha! You may remember that I used to attend a gym in Ocean Township (I hate Ocean Township) where I was completely creeped out by some of the gym-goers and their gross behavior. I stayed at the gym because they were the only one in the area with a swimming pool and swimming was a large part of what helped me take off all of the weight.

Well, it was about 2 years ago that they closed the pool “for the summer for renovations.” And since no one ever really knows what they’re doing when they “renovate” a property in New Jersey, you can imagine what happened. The summer turned into the fall, which turned into the winter and then the spring and we were at the full 1 year mark and the pool was still closed. At that point, I canceled my membership and joined the brand new gym right on the Atlantic Ocean.

The new gym was fun and it was nice to be at a place that was brand new. But I never really caught on to working out there. Maybe it was the 5:30am workouts or maybe it was the fact that at 5:30am they STILL had the music blaring throughout the place. I’m not sure. What I DO know is that my old gym finally got their stuff together and re-opened the pool. So, a few weeks ago I canceled my membership at the new gym and bought a summer-only membership to the old gym with the pool.

Last night I went for my first swim in the pool. It was great! Of course, there really wasn’t anything major done to the pool in terms of renovation (or at least nothing that I could see). It makes you wonder why they shut it down in the first place, but I digress.

Anyway – I went swimming and it was fun. I win.
