Cary Family YMCA: I Don't Want to be a Manatee!

I went to the Cary Family YMCA for the first time since...I'm ashamed to admit how long...to get in a cardiovascular workout because I've gained ...I'm ashamed to admit how many...pounds. While climbing away on their version of a StairMaster, I noticed a video clip on Fox News. The FoxNews.com headline reads, "Wanted: Fat Guys for All-Male MLB Cheerleading Squad." It seems the Marlins are auditioning for "plus-sized" guys that can dance to join a new cheerleading squad called "The Manatees." (Visit Fox News.com and check out the video link on the right side of their site).

After watching this clip, I reaffirmed my commitment to get to the gym at least 3 times a week - ‘cause I don't want to be a manatee! - although I nearly fit the profile: minus the dancing skills:-) Manatees are wonderful creatures and they're fun to watch at the aquarium - my doctor just doesn't like me being the size of one.
