Carlos shoveled the snow off half the block! At least it’s a decent workout! ❄️☃️😂

Ever wonder what we do at Chinatown Fight Club when no one else is there? No, get your mind out of the gutter, we TRAIN! 😂 Today I benched my body weight for 6 reps! This is a typical workout with Carlos. Did you know I met Carlos in 1992, and he was my trainer before we started dating? When we opened the gym in 1994, I also became a trainer, so I was training myself. Three months ago, Carlos started training me again, 32 years later. He accused me of “coasting” in my workouts. 😒🙄 Okay, I admit he was right, I get distracted easily and I did get kind of lazy. In three months, I put on 5 pounds of muscle at the age of 57! 💪 Who would have thought that was possible? But the best thing is that I’m having so much fun working out again. I’ve always trained for the sheer joy of doing it. The focus, discipline, and strength I find in that moment of extreme effort, and the feeling of pure joy in achieving something really difficult, makes everything else in life seem more doable. And I always have my other man with me, Rein, my toy poodle pup. 🐩 I learn so much about how to live by watching my dogs. He’s also a great dance partner! 💃🏻🐩 I do a set, dance with my dog, and repeat…this is my favorite thing to do! Did you notice how he got bored and just laid down and ignored me while I was struggling to do my set of dips? Where’s the encouragement and support?? 🤣 So…I entered this contest to become Ms. Health and Fitness 2026. For those of you who know me, yes, it’s shocking! I’m such a low key private person, the ultimate introvert, I never even used to take photos of myself. But, I’m kind of amazed at what I can still do at 57 years old. I never thought I’d be getting stronger at this point, but as Carlos would say, yet here I am. I’m hoping that by putting myself out there, I might inspire someone, or show people what’s possible at any age. Most of all, how important it is to just have fun, to not be afraid to be completely silly. My dogs taught me that, and I practice a bit of silliness every day. Would you please give me your vote? 🙏❤️❤️ https://mshealthandfit.com/2026/gayle-jung

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy holiday season! May your Christmas be filled with all the joy and wonder of fun new toys, the company of family and friends, love, laughter, and happiness. This is Rein, our 8-month-old toy poodle puppy, and one of his favorite new toys! 🐩Some of you are already his friends and he sends his ❤️. He is pure love and playful joy in a furry package, and has already taught me so much about how to live. ❤️🥰 Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! 🎄☃️🎁 Gayle & Carlos 🧑🏻‍🎄🎅🏾😄❤️❤️

Carlos and I were so very honored to accept awards for delivering food to elderly Chinatown residents during the pandemic. It was such an amazing evening, we made some great new friends and reconnected with old ones. There was a traditional lion dance and I got to ”feed” 🧧the lion, which always makes me a little nervous (like it might bite me 😅😆) but so happy! 😁 I got to meet Congressman And the food was, of course, incredible! Golden Unicorn is one of my favorite Chinatown restaurants and they really outdid themselves! Thank you so much to and for inviting and honoring us! 🙏❤️❤️

These beautiful, sweet rescue kitties need a forever home! The gray one is a boy, the black one with the stunning golden eyes is a girl. Estimated age 4-5 months. Extremely friendly and so sweet! They love to be petted and sleep on top of you. We think they’re siblings. Rescuers can’t keep them, they already have a full house. They will be going to Animal Haven on Monday if no one takes them. Please let me know if you or anyone might be interested!
