'Twas the night before Christmas, in the gym, you know.
Way out in Westhills, where we all have to go.
Asleep in the trainer room, were Alison and Sue,
A dreamin' of Christmas, like me and you.
Way out in Westhills, where we all have to go.
Asleep in the trainer room, were Alison and Sue,
A dreamin' of Christmas, like me and you.
Not stockings, but bras, at the foot of their bed,
For this was BETA fitness, what more need be said,
When all of a sudden, from out of the still night,
There came such a ruckus, it gave me a fright.
And I saw 'cross the parking lot, what looked like fun,
A loaded up treadmill, come on at full run,
The driver was "huffin" an "puffin", and goin up hill,
The old gals (not reindeer) she drove with such skill.
"Come on there Diane, Debbie, Paula and Vicky, the end is in sight,
There'll be plenty of “in zone” exercisin’ for all you tonight."
The driver in spandex and Beta pink shirt, instead of red,
Had a shinny new Polar watch strapped to her forehead.
As she stepped from the treadmill, she was really a sight,
No batwings or love handles, only solid muscle might.
As she burst in the trainer room, the ladies awoke,
And were so astonished, that none of them spoke.
And she filled up their bras with such presents galore,
Shorts, t-shirts, socks brand new from the fitness store.
When Donna recovered from surprise and a pause,
She asked in a whisper, "Are you really Christine Claus?"
When Donna recovered from surprise and a pause,
She asked in a whisper, "Are you really Christine Claus?"
"Am I the real Santa? Well, what do you think?"
And she smiled as she gave a mischievous wink.
Then she leaped in her treadmill, and called back to us all,
"To all the women at Westhills, BETA Christmas, to You-all"
Donna!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you had this site, this really is such an incredible way to reflect and share the journey you have been on for the last 9 months. I journal, and write about many of the same feelings, but I have never thought to blog or let anyone else read what I write. It was so incredible to read your entries and laugh at your pictures and entertaining thoughts; I know I will be checking your blog more often!
See you at the gym soon! Merry Christmas!
Jessica (one of the trainers!)
Jessica,
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading my blog! I have a few people that look at it from time to time but not sure if anyone is that interested in my ramblings however I wanted to record my journey. In some small way I think that writing this blog has been helpful but I am not sure why.
The blog has been fun to fun and it is my first attempt at writing and hope to one day do something bigger but for now this is it. Merry Christmas and see you in 2012!
