Exercising can be pretty bittersweet sometimes. Some days you just really do not want to go to the gym, but make yourself do it anyway. On those days, you probably have a lot of bad thoughts. I always find myself thinking about the most random things at the gym, especially during cardio. Here are some common thoughts that probably apply to both me and you:
1. My whole outfit matches. I'm basically a Nike ad. I'm so ready to go.
2. Elliptical or treadmill?
3. My favorite treadmill is open and there's a cute guy stretching over there.
4. How much time should I go for? I guess I'll do 30 minutes and see how I feel.
5. Why does this treadmill ask so many questions? (Puts in weight and age.) FINALLY, now I can get to work.
6. OMG, I love this song.
7. I'm so in the zone.
8. I wonder if my legs are jiggling. Does my butt look okay?
9. Oh! I got a text. I can text and run, right?
10. Definitely do not text and run.
11. How much time is left?
12. I think I'm out of shape.
13. What am I eating after this?
14. Ow, I have a cramp!
15. Just one more mile and then I'll stop.
16. Just kidding, I can go do squats and it will be like the same thing, right?
17. I should find a "swolemate."
18. Ew, did I just say swolemate? FML.
19. That old dude in the corner is doing more than I am. Bring it on, gramps.
20. I shouldn't have done that many squats.
21. I can't wait to go home and watch Netflix.
22. I think I'm gonna be really healthy from now on. I should do a cleanse.
23. Wow, that girl over there is ripped. Maybe she could be my swolemate.
24. (Sends a sweaty gym snap to friends saying "On my grind.")
25. I can already feel my body starting to hate me.
26. If I'm going to the beach next week, I definitely have to keep going to the gym.
27. I am so not beach ready.
28. Let me just try this weird machine I've never seen before.
29. (Casually reads the directions, trying to look like I know what I'm doing.)
30. I don't know if I'm doing this right.
31. I'll just do some abs and then I'll leave.
32. (Scrolls through Instagram.)
33. (Sends another Snapchat saying, "Still alive, barely breathing.")
34. I definitely feel like I have abs after that.
35. (Casually feels stomach to check for abs.)
36. That's enough for today.
