Crowded

Today the gym was extra crowded. I walked in and was surprised that there were at least 7 people waiting in line for one of the elliptical machines. I decided to go downstairs and do the other stuff first. And it happened again! The weight area was packed with people too. Note to self: Tuesday has become a busy busy night at the gym.

I can't say I was very motivated today. I felt SLOW. Then I saw some of the guys at the gym who were in great shape and wondered what their regime was like. That actually helped me. I turned my "move dial" to ON. There was this fit dude who had tattoos on his arms and his back. He wore a wife-beater and he looked like a mean, tough, bad-ass pornstar / rockstar. I wonder if he has an office job, eats any carbs, or ever smiles. He sure doesn't look like an average 9 - 5 person on the street. Probably a gardener? Or a gangster?

S.O.M. was there today too. Fortunately I found a machine far far away from his sweaty ass. I am sorry, I just can't stand his smell. I'm sure he' a nice man. No I don't intend to find out if he truly is nice. I just prefer to keep my distance whenever I'm in rather close proximity to him.

I was feeling slow, then somewhat motivated, then envious, and finally, relieved. A typical day at the gym.
