Thoughts Everyone Has At The Gym

Going to the gym–it’s something we all should do whether we like it or not. The gym has been added to our list of chores just like cleaning or mowing the lawn. Some days at the gym are good, while others are just plain awful. We’ve all had these thoughts at the gym whether we want to admit it or not.

1. How does this even work?

Some machines look more like torture devices rather than exercise equipment. This usually leads to many awkward attempts at using them while other gym-goers watch in horror.

2. This person spends way too much time here.

We’ve all encountered this gym-goer. These people have crossed over from toned to insane. They are often spotted hogging the weights and downing a protein shake.

3. At least my outfit is on point.

There’s nothing better than the feeling when you entire outfit is flawless. Sure, you probably spent more time picking it out than you will spend at the gym, but, hey, at least you look good.

4. Why is everyone here now?

You thought you planned it out perfectly for the gym to be vacant, but alas, everyone else apparently had the same idea, and you’re stuck in a hot, packed gym yet again.

5. Finally no one is here!

An empty gym is like winning the lottery: It almost never happens, but when it does, it’s amazing. You don’t have to wait for anything and there’s no one to watch you mess up.

6. Why does no one wipe off their machine?

We’ve all had it happen to us. You’re already using the machine before you realize it’s drenched in someone else’s sweat.

7. Is that what I really look like?

Most gyms contain at least one wall of unflattering mirrors. For some it might be motivation, for others it’s just a reminder of why you’re at the gym in the first place.

8. Will they ever get off this machine?

There's always that one person who hogs whatever machine they're on at the moment. They're often found spending an hour on the treadmill or doing endless reps with the weights.

9. Wow! I’m actually seeing results!

Whether these results are real or imaginary they’ll probably keep you coming back to the gym.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
