"Okay if I'm here for a half hour that means I'll burn at least 300 Calories."
When walking into the gym after a long weekend of going out, seeing friends, or going out with friends and possibly falling off of your diet train in the process, it may make the Monday, the start of your five-day workout routine a bit more sluggish. I bet those 1 am tacos weren't the best choice for you now right? You step onto that treadmill or elliptical and narrow down how long you can workout and actually feel like you've done something right. Starting with a light jog is the best, turn your Spotify onto some Ariana Grande and you're good to go! Or so you think.
"This is a gym, not a coffee shop people!"
There's ALWAYS those two people no matter what age, what gender or anything else who just have to have a twenty-minute long conversation right next to the machine that you're on. They've been standing there gabbing away and one of them may have leaned on your machine even! You're not invisible so why do these two feel the need to chat along without acknowledging the fact that they're in the way and that this is, in fact, a gym.
"Do I know that guy/girl? Oh crap, No I don't!"
It's the worst when you're chugging along, halfway through your time doing your cardio and then you catch some awkward eye contact with someone you either used to date, used to be friends with, or went to high school with. You do a sly smile or wave but then you look closer, realizing you don't know them at all. In response you look down, avoiding eye contact and skip to another song to ease your mind from that drastically awkward situation.
"I wonder if anyone can tell that my bra/shirt/yoga pants are starting to get out of place."
Workout clothes are so comfy and great to wear for almost any occasion whether it's running to get groceries, laying around your house or even getting coffee! Sometimes I can't even find clean workout gear to wear because they're all dirty from wearing them almost every single day. Some may have become worn out or stretched out depending on use and while you're rocking those jump squats, your biggest fear is going to be that your pants will fall down or shirt will come up. You just can't win!
"So I worked out so well today, I deserve something good for dinner!"
I mean, at least you got off your butt and worked out. You feel so energized, sweaty and ready to jump in the shower. But you don't look forward to having a plain chicken breast or salad for dinner. Get some tacos with tons of salsa, because salsa is good for you and you earned it, girl!
