when i go to the gym to workout...i'm there to do just that. workout. i do not go to socialize, i do not go to impress anyone, and i certainly don't go there to pick-up guys. so when i go to the gym i do NOT look cute. i wear one of two pairs of old, cotton, drawstring pants, a tee shirt and usually a hat. (hopefully my hair will soon be long enough to get into a ponytail so i can lose the hat!) i don't wear makeup because i sweat like a pig and because i'm there to workout. i also don't fool around at the gym because i really can't afford to. i have a lot of work to do and a lot of weight to lose, so i can't just go there to hang out. well, a few weeks ago i was working my butt off when i noticed a girl strolling around the gym. she was dressed very nice...she had on true workout pants(like nike or adidas-not target brand like mine), brand new sneakers and a see through shirt that you probably would where out on a friday night. she also had her hair blown out perfectly and a complete make-up job. now i must confess-on bad morning i will throw on some cover up and bronzer just so i don't scare people at the gym. but i never put on a full face like this girl...she had eyeliner, eye shadow, mascara, foundation, bronzer, the whole nine yards. i'll admit that i'm jealous of girls like this. she was very pretty and didn't even need to be at the gym. so all this was okay with me until i got on a machine next to her. that's when i got mad. she was sitting on a machine but she wasn't really using it. she was sitting on it and playing solitaire on her iphone! seriously?!?!? you came to the gym to sit on a machine and play solitaire?!??! couldn't she do that at home?!?!? it really made me mad! there i am sweating my *&@ off and she is chillin', playing a game. ugh! i'll admit that some, or most, or my anger is the result of being jealous...but really?!??! come on now. yes i wish i could be her-she doesn't even need to workout. but i just felt like her being there was rubbing it in my face.
that's it. no fun or meaningful ending to this post...it was just a good way for me to vent!

Oh I am so with you on this one! Keep it up girl. You are working hard and it IS paying off! You are lookin good :-)
Yeah that's crap. When I used to go to the gym with my mom in high school I would be SO embarrassed that I was wearing running shorts and old t-shirts and headbands and I used to be SO JEALOUS of the pretty girls with the perfect workout clothes. Uhhuh. Really over that. You should have reached over and smacked her head. OK, not really. But I would have at least thought about it.
*rolls eyes* This kind of stuff makes me mad... And feisty. I would have asked her to get up so I actually use the machine just to make her get up and piss her off. And we would have laughed:)
hahahaha! sadly i go to the gym with a full face of make-up :)
but you are working it hard, girl! lookin GOOD!
