I love love love my best friend so much, but I also love the gym. Combining the two of them seemed fun, until I realized she just was not the ideal gym buddy. I have come to terms with it, and we have agreed that we will just meet up for dinner after my workouts... Just kidding, I still drag her there.

In all seriousness, she truly makes the gym entertaining for me. After going to the gym a few times with her, trying to teach her some workouts, I decided to make a list of all the things she says and asks while working out. Even though she distracts me, set in and set out, at least I got an article out of it (Thanks, J).

1. "Dude, seriously, why did you bring me here?"

2. "I'm so weak."

3. "So what's on the agenda today? Cardio and people watching?"

4. "Nope, not today."

5. "Can you make this lighter for me?"

6. "Where's my water?"

7. "Oooh, I want that body! Help me do that."

8. "OK, I can do this. Nope, no, I can't do this."

9. "Can we go now?"

10. "Woah, how do you do that?"

11. "I wish no one was here, I feel like everyone is looking at me."

12. "Brownies, cookies, cake. Brownies, cookies, cake. One more set, let's go!"

13. "I do not belong here, this is not my habitat."

14. "I wish I could lose my hips."

15. "Ah, yes, this is my song!"

16. "OMG is that guy looking at me?"

17. "My arms are so tiny. Why"

18. "I need a nicer butt. Can we work on that next time?"

19. "Guess what today is!? Wine Wednesday!"

20. "I need motivation to get through this hour."

21. "When can we eat?"

22. "I'm getting big... I did 5."

23. "Pumpin' iron."

24. "I can't breathe... Like actually cannot breathe."

25. "Have you been to Sam's [our campus dining hall] today? They have sushi!"

26. "I want a cookie."

27. "Where's my water?"

28. "This is too heavy. 5 pounds it is."

29. "You judge me so hard, stop looking at me!"

30. If I had one, I'd need my inhaler at this point."

31. "How do I work this machine?"

32. "No, absolutely not. We are not going downstairs where all the boys are!"

33. "How much longer?"

34. "When can we eat?"

35. "My legs hurt, I'm done now."

36. "Pouchy the Pirate!" *pokes stomach*

37. "Oh my gosh, he is so cute. I look terrible, don't I?"

38. "I just want some ice cream."

39. "Why are we here, I should be in bed."

40. "Ay yai yai, thank goodness we're done. So.... food?"

Even though you people watch at the gym, or constantly go to your favorite leg machine on arm day, I still love you. Thank you for filling my life with laughs and love, even when I'm sweating my butt off at the gym. Love you, J!
