You dreadfully walk in with all eyes on you like you're the new person every time....It feels like a sauna it's so hot and Oh that God awful smell!!! Where blood, sweat and tears are made and if you look closely some instructors have a slight red tint to there eyes!! Is it hell??? Oh no it's worse! THE GYM!! I don't know how those twig like, stay-at-home moms spend hours in this place and even fake enjoying it! I like to get in and get out, not see everyone and their mother and have them come and chat with me while I'm mid squat! If my pouring sweat and 'natural' gym smell with a face as if I'm about to give birth doesn't deter you from wanting to start a conversation I don't know what will?! Maybe I should try making a " F off I'm here to actually work out" t-shirt! I wonder how many people are in my same boat....or am I just a bitter person trying to workout my frustrations, who knows! During my cherished workout days, I've had quite a few 'OOPS' moments....I'll just share one for now:

 I was on the elliptical probably for 30 minutes and trying to pretend that my feet aren't going numb (why does that happen by the way??) and of course my ipod dies so I have to resort to watching tv which is never really motivating when every 5 seconds there is a commercial about food and desserts which makes me want to go pick up a cheesecake instead of continue running but nevertheless I hold in my urges and keep going. I hear someone to the left of me on her elliptical cracking up hysterically, I mean she starts crying something is so funny. So my NOSY self has to see what's so funny so naturally I lean over to see what she's watching but don't stop to think I am still moving on the elliptical(Anyone who's been on an elliptical knows how they work, you are pumping your arms and legs at the same time) and BOOM I swear in slow motion I whack myself in the face with the arm part of the machine as hard as I could and saw stars!! I stumble off the machine, and luckily I hear two guys behind me at the same time go "Ooooooo" and I turn around and we all start laughing, hey at least I didn't lose a tooth!!
Anyone else have any funny gym stories??
