Most of you know by now that I am back into the swing of being OCD with my diet and excersize hitting the gym atleast 4 if not 5 days a week now, so with that being said, here's my latest rant about the gym.
First off, if you are pushin' 200 lbs and wearing spandex, holding your cell phone with one hand, and lifting a 2 and 1/2 lb. weight with the other, you might want to reconsider your workout strategy. Seriously, get off your phone, pick up two weights and maybe give a little effort. I mean really, who brings their cell phone into the gym anyways? No one is so freakin' important that they can't live without their cell phone for an hour or so, (give or take.) People with cell phones at the gym annoy me. You are there to work out, not socialize. Hang up and break a sweat why don'cha? Yeesh.
Secondly, as I am squatting what I would like to refer to as a ridiculous amount of weight (90 lbs in weights, plus whatever the bar is itself) tonight, I looked around and noticed something that got me to thinkin'. Of the 25 or 30 people using the free weights and benches, etc. I was the ONLY female in there. I mean granted, the odds are without a doubt in my favor, but seriously...? Why are females so avoiding of this area? Is it the smell of sweaty men tossing around dumbells like they are donuts, or is it that they are weirded out by the muscle heads that probably have "male members" the size of a baby carrot from their obvious lack of steroid usage and arms the size of my thighs.. or is it the sheer factor of intimidation? I wonder. Perhaps I should start inviting other fellow female gym rats (not using their cell phones) to join me in the weight room. I mean afterall, it's not like the men own that place, I think we should invade their testosterone territory. I don't really know where I was going with that rant, but seriously, it bothers me.
I just ate a delicious salad and now I'm off to do some homework like a loser. Why? Because I promised myself that I would start dedicating 1 hour a day to school, and I feel guilty if I don't do so. It's part of helping me to become a better student, so I hope all this re-prioritizing pays off in the long run.
