In Dallas, everything is large: the hair, the portion size, the gym at the
Omni Dallas Hotel.
To counteract the oversized margaritas and slabs of dessert on my recent trip to
Dallas, I spent some serious time at the fitness center.
One of the nicest aspects (besides the shiny new equipment - the hotel is just a year old) of the gym is the view from the cardio machines. Ellipticals, stationary bikes and treadmills all faced the floor to ceiling windows. No dark, dank workout area here.
There were also free weights, weighted balls, stability balls and strength machines.
I thought about taking one of the cushy mats out to the pool deck, since I was inside most of the weekend for a convention. But the women next to me were telling a juicy story involving betrayal, drinking and lawsuits.
And they weren't even discussing the new
Dallas season. These were their actual lives.
I turned down the volume on my iPod and eavesdropped.
