50 Thoughts You Have When Working Out
Pinterest

Let’s face it. Working out is hard. And being a college student makes it even harder: there are 101 things on our minds at any point and even more things to do. Going to the gym usually gets the short stick, too, because who really wants to prioritize torture? But when we finally work up our motivation, throw on some shorts, and make the ridiculously long walk to the gym, the battle is not over. It has only begun. Here are the 50 thoughts you have when working out.

1. Wow that was a long walk, I think half of my workout is done already.

2. Ugh. I forgot how “gym-y” the gym smells. Gross.

3. Alright, let’s grab a towel and scope out the ellipticals.

4. How are there so many of you on ellipticals?! Geez. Seriously though, why is it so crowded?

5. Fine, I guess I’ll get on a treadmill.

6. Okay, headphones in, Netflix on my phone, we’re good, we’re good.

7. Wow I forgot how intense this episode was.

8. Maybe I should stop walking now and turn up the speed?

9. Or not.

10. Walking is cool. And requires less work.

11. Oh wait, everyone else is running, okay I’ll run, too! This can’t be so bad.

12. Oh. My. God.

13. I can’t breathe.

14. I am literally dying.

15. How do people do this for fun?

16. Make it stop, I can’t even.

17. You’re good, you’re good, a solid five minutes of running before going back to walking is totally fine.

18. Ew, is sweating this much normal? Am I a sweaty freak? Does everyone else see me sweating?

19. *casual towel wipe*

20. All clear.

21. Ugh, why is working out a thing?

22. Dang, all these girls look super cute in their Lulu.

23. I should have put more effort into my gym outfit. I look like a slob who never works out.

24. Lol, maybe that's because I never work out.

25. But maybe if I had more cute Lulu outfits, I would work out more...

26. I'm going to put it on my Christmas list. Problem solved!

27. Wow, I've been on the treadmill for like, 15 minutes now. Maybe I should stop.

28. That's a good amount of time right? Or do I look like a quitter?

29. Maybe I should just stay on until someone besides me gets off...


30. Come on people, get off! You've been on there way longer than me, I know you're tired.

31. Seriously? You're still going?

32. Yes, thank you, guy in the too tight shorts! Finally I can stop.

33. Whoa, major treadmill feet.

34. Alright, time to lift some weights or do some planks -- or squats!

35. Wait, there are so many guys in the strength area... I'm going to casually walk away like I was just passing by...

36. Okay, I’m going to do some squats and planks, and then I can go home.

37. Squats. Are. So. Hard.

38. Whyyyyyy.

39. I did 20 squats, so my butt should look great now, right? Right?

40. Eh, it will do.

41. I hate planks. I hate planks sooooooo much.

42. Please, please don’t let anyone look at me as my arms shake right now.

43. *Collapses on mat*

44. Alright, we’re done here.

45. I’m going homeee, I’m going homeeee!

46. I am a health goddess.

47. Seriously, like I just spent so much time working out.

48. I should get an award.

49. I know!

50. I’ll reward myself with a cheeseburger. Mmmmm.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

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.
