I went to the gym this morning to take a spin class. ALL I wanted was to go back to sleep. I was having a rather odd dream about Brad Pitt. Seems he wanted me to help him take care of all his children. Doesn't that say so much about me? Can't I just have a sex dream involving Brad Pitt without having to babysit? Anyway, I dragged out to go kill my quads and pierce my eardrums with all the techno music. When I leave there, I'm never sure if my ears are ringing because I need to eat something or if the music was just too loud. OMG I hate getting old. Since I'm training, I've been spending more time at the gym. You won't believe what happens in these places. I have listed some of the more interesting things I've seen of late:
- I don't know if it is appropriate to wear your white sports bra in public. I have no opinion, I just don't know. What I do know is that it's not ok to wear a size 32B when clearly you are a 32DD during spin class. This woman spent the whole class making sure her nips didn't spill out, but they did. All during class. Yes, we were ALL watching, which I assume was the point.
- It is NEVER ok to slough your feet with your pumice stone at the gym in the locker room. Little bits of your nasty feet flying all over the room. Ew. I guess you could use the Pedi Egg so your chunks would be caught in the device, but I still don't think so. Certain things should be done at home.
- Picking at your scabs on your shoulders and back while you are on the treadmill, stair stepper, etc. Ew. I just stared at this woman the entire time. Thankfully, I was far away. Can you imagine the biohazard she was creating? Ditto with the feet thing.
- Chatting with me while you are naked. Yup, I don't know you and here you are striking up a conversation with me while you are buck naked. Oh, and it's never the beautiful people who do this. Note: When you are naked, jump up and down and if anything moves, it's not ok to chat up other people in that state. I can hear you just as well with your back turned to me.
- Hogging the mirror. You are beautiful. You are looking tight. Get over yourself and let me see if I'm lifting correctly. Jeez.
- Eating in the sauna. Yes, you heard me correctly. I think it was a turkey wrap. Oh, and someone else in the sauna was naked. So, there I am with naked fat woman, and turkey wrap woman who has no problem slamming down her food while staring at naked fat woman and sweating. I just threw up in my mouth thinking about it again.
I'm sure you have interesting experiences as well. I would love to hear them. For now, I will keep reporting the injustices of the world, one neighborhood gym at a time.

FYI---we have the Pedi Egg and it works just like a cheese grater--hard to use and not very effective and tears up the product leaving it not very attractive. Enough said...Krys
Another gym sin...leaving a partially used and slimy bar of soap in the shower. Like anyone else is going to actually use it? Ew.
And then there's the random gym-goer who neglects to use a sufficient deodorant and reeks from 2 stations away. Blech.
