But it's like 6 blocks from my apartment!! <br /><br />Seriously?? Pizza?? We have a vegan smoothie bar that goes to charity. Shows you how hippy my club is. I so don't fit in there. <br /><br />I'm not a class person either because honestly, me and coordination are strangers. But I like the Spin classes. Such a good workout. <br /><br />That is so rude with the gum. I swear, people were raised in barns.

My gym gets mocked for doing things like pizza night the first Monday of the month and now some weird cupcake promotion (SERIOUSLY), but if you can ignore all that crap, it gives me exactly what I need for $10 a month! I'm not a fitness class type generally, I just want the machines. I LOVE that it's not a gym that's all about women full of makeup and perfectly coordinated outfits, and that generally it's just a big old group of sweating, hard working people there for a purpose. :)<br /><br />HA, gummy bears on the bike, that's awesome. Last night I listened to a grown woman smack her gum like a mannerless horse last night for a full hour while she mosied her way through a slow walk on the treadmill. I could hear it over my music on my headphones. :obluemoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824559705320935052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5158112018214983762.post-32816020510661798952012-10-24T09:48:03.691-04:002012-10-24T09:48:03.691-04:00You, lady, are a bigger person than I.

Thought it was a good way to look at it. I wish my gym was a quiet, cheap no-frills type gym. The classes are probably the worst at mine so I steer clear. The muscle bound dudes hang out at the free weights and the models all prance on the treadmills chatting on Bluetooth headsets while wearing $300 workout outfits and reading Vogue. It's very much a place to be "seen". Actually the funniest thing I ever saw at the gym was a very thin woman on a stationary bike eating a bag of gummy bears.

Plus, for me the gym is such an adrenaline rush, anymore I just feel kind of awesome there, even when I may not look my best. Perhaps, like in the rest of the universe, that confidence just radiates good energy?<br /><br />All I know is I like getting totally baseless, silly butterflies while at the gym. It's not a bad thing. ;)bluemoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824559705320935052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5158112018214983762.post-32066158088739737452012-10-23T15:58:58.288-04:002012-10-23T15:58:58.288-04:00One of the girls in my exercise class told me she&...One of the girls in my exercise class told me she's had a lot of dudes tell her that he likes seeing girls who aren't afraid to sweat.

But I don't really feel self-conscious, and my gym is a cheap, no frills one, so perhaps I avoid the supermodel types? :p I figure everyone is sweating, so I'm not gonna stand out, LOL. Like you said, (and like I told a friend!) if I meet a guy who finds me attractive after a 70 minute cardio workout, that's a SCORE! :Dbluemoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824559705320935052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5158112018214983762.post-32302026297973893742012-10-23T15:09:08.590-04:002012-10-23T15:09:08.590-04:00Awesome job!

For me, I'm self conscious just being there amongst some of the super models that go to my gym, two, I sweat when I work out. Not disgusting amounts but I mean it looks like I've worked out when I'm doing cardio. But I figure any guy who smiles at you when you're at your sweatiest is probably decent.

But I can tell you unequivocally that nothing, especially some random guy, is going to throw me off my course. :) I've been on enough dates in the last year and a half, run into enough people in other settings, and I've been just fine. Part of the deal, and not even a little bit of an issue, especially when I'm on such an awesome roll. <br /><br />(Sidenote: I love saying things like this and knowing 100% it's the truth. Go go motivation!) :)bluemoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824559705320935052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5158112018214983762.post-87334098551169083642012-10-23T13:33:41.367-04:002012-10-23T13:33:41.367-04:00wow - 10 lbs!

Don't be upset but just to play devils advocate: it would be GREAT If gym guy turned out to be awesome and boyfriend material and turned into something long-term, and the man of your dreams - of course. But what IF you go out a few times, there's no interest and then you have to face him at the gym? Do you think that would be an issue for you? Do you think you'd lose momentum with your working out, fitness lifestyle now? But then again, its good to take chances on someone despite what the outcome might be so... I'm confusing myself. <br /><br />However, if you're going to be an eye-shot from him, be behind him so he can't see your back sweat! Just my two cents.
