The Trainer (WHO IS NOT Y, BUT Y'S FRIEND)

Hi, I'm Y's trainer.

Turns out Y dreamed about me last night. I pointed to a really hot chick and said "You're never going to look like that if you don't work harder". Well, that pissed her off and now she's mad at me in real life.

So as a favor to her readers, I thought I would share some tips that I've been keeping to help you train.

* Buy gym clothes that are one size too small. It makes you look tougher. And if you're falling out in some places, good. It will give you an excuse to work out harder. This is why all my t-shirts are size XS (that's extra small). The better to see my guns in the mirror with.

* Work out next to hot guys or in front of the dudes lifting weights. They'll keep checking you out in the mirror, and it will embarrass you, thereby increasing your heart rate and making you work out harder.

* Don't take a shower at the gym. There are three kinds of people in this world. The kind that blow their nose in the shower, the kind that pee in the shower, and the kind that jerk off in the shower. The gym has all three. Shower at home.

* Kill two birds with one stone. Pay your gym membership with your grocery money. Then even if you don't go, you lose weight!

That's it boys and girls. Stay tuned for more workout tips in the future.

If they knew how BUFF you were, they'd be so jealous.

Ewwwwwww about the shower bit. I take showers at the gym sometimes. Now I don't think I can.

And is Michael modeling the t-shirts you have for sale?

Posted by: trish at February 2, 2006 11:29 AM

You have a trainer? I'm so jealous!

Also, good tips. But I ain't about to wear a shirt a size smaller so my stomach rolls can run rampant. Nope.

Well, he's only my trainer in my dreams.

And even though he's really buff? He's mean. So, I wouldn't recommend him.

Posted by: Y at February 2, 2006 12:25 PM

Is he as mean as Jillian on The Biggest Loser?

And P.S.
I'm really curious (*cough* dumb), so is the trainer a real person? Or is he a figment of your dream thus producing a very cute blog entry?

I'm so not cool enough to be reading this blog. 'Cause your blog is one of the "cool people" blogs...

Posted by: Plucky at February 2, 2006 12:44 PM

No, he's a real person, just not a real trainer.

I'm now tempted to post a real picture of him because HA HA I've got pictures of him.

(But, I won't , but man, I'm tempted.)

And pssssst, seriously, I'm not one of the cool people, I promise. ha!

Posted by: Y at February 2, 2006 12:49 PM

I give him three enchiladas.

Oh, wait, whaddya mean we're not voting?

Is your trainer that loud mead dude on Celebrity Fit? I swear, everytime I watch that show, I hear Harvey yelling and I'm running over to the ezglider. He scares the bejeezus out of me!

oh and EWWWW on the shower!

Posted by: etherian at February 2, 2006 01:49 PM

I would NEVER shower at the gym. Its all pipes guys, all pipes.

Posted by: Tuesday at February 2, 2006 03:20 PM

Um. What does THAT mean? The "all pipes" thing? Speak slowly for your stupid friend.

Posted by: Laura at February 2, 2006 04:59 PM

never. shower. again.

I read in Newsweek that most people have an affair with their trainer - true??? Dish, Y!!

Posted by: Debbie at February 3, 2006 04:59 AM

no shit. the shower-thing... gross. but sadly most likely very true. so no more showers in the gym for me either... yuck.

Posted by: kim at February 3, 2006 06:20 AM

I will never think of the gym shower the same way again..thank you, thank you oh so much

Posted by: Shannon at February 3, 2006 06:57 AM

Can I borrow your trainer? And that whole clothes thing is awesome and I would so do it but my gym is trophy wife central and I don't want to scare them out of their silicone and overpriced yoga clothes.

Well, taking a shower at the gym has never been an issue for me because um, I do not get naked in front of strangers.

I mean, seriously, I won't even take a shower with the man I have sex with every night, why would I strip naked and lather up in front of people at the gym?

WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THAT?

Posted by: Y at February 3, 2006 10:34 AM

and on a totally unrelated note.......

"The Insider"'s MARC MALKIN is breaking the news that funnyman JAY MOHR, host of "Last Comic Standing," has become engaged to NIKKI COX of NBC's hit series "Las Vegas."

A source tells Malkin that the two will have a winter wedding by the end of the year. A rep for Cox confirms the engagement but declined to give any further details.

Mohr will next be seen this Sunday with JACKIE CHAN in a Pepsi commercial debuting during the Super Bowl.

I've never even been inside a gym (where people workout, not like a basketball gym) much less showered in public. Once I went to cheerleading camp and I was so afraid the showers were going to be all together. Luckily, there were stalls and curtains. The less people that see me naked, the better.

Posted by: NinaKaye at February 3, 2006 11:32 AM

I stock up on flip flops when they're on sale at the end of the summer and keep them in my bag. I even keep a pair in the trunk of my car, just in case. I would never want to stand barefoot on a gym shower floor.

Posted by: trish at February 6, 2006 08:55 AM

I debated on whether to admit this or not, because I don't want to give Trainer Mike The Buff a big head (ha! ha!) but I had another dream about him and we were totally best friends, but, he wasn't my trainer. Infact, we ate pizza and donuts!

I guess deep down, I really want trainer mike to be my best friend. Or something like that because DANG, stop showing up in my dreams already. Ok?

About Y
My name is Y, but you can call me "Jesse's girl." I am an Aerobic Dancer and have mastered many moves, but the one I am the most proud of is "The Monkey." I have three kids. ALL FROM THE SAME DAD (Because, did you know someone actually asked me that question?) A 15 year old son, a 11 year old son and a 4 year old daughter who was not planned but who is loved more than words could ever express. I am addicted to Starbucks, reality TV and to getting really good deals through coupons and "club member" savings (Please, respect The Costco Card.) I am extremely competive and if you don't believe me, just ask my husband about the time I sold him out to win a game of Taboo. If you're waiting for the part where I speak of my love for walks on the beach or slow dancing in the rain, you're going to be disappointed because my idea of a good time usually involves things like "burping contests" and "doing The Worm".
