C-tek, you always chime in with such valuable information!

Elle, since you''re doing them at home, just hope straight in the shower after Melissa leaves. That''ll get rid of any hair product you may have used as well.

I lurk. Lots.

I just don''t always take the time to log-in so I can post.

Creeper!

Oh, and C, since I know you''re out there today and you''ll appreciate it...last week, inappropriate-gym-attire chick showed up wearing usual sports bra and nike soccer shorts that had a joe boxer-style elastic waistband printed with ''Just Do It.''

It was all I could do to refrain from finally calling her out...I mean, her shorts were telling me to, after all!

she''s asking for it! doooooooo it!

Bad influences. All of you.

I really think this woman needs a talking to. I wonder what her response would be.

There was a woman at our gym that was super skinny and NEVER wore a bra but wore tight little tee shirts and tanks where you could see her nips poking through. She would wear shorts that were so tiny and low that you could just about see her crack and if she sat down to use a leg weight machine you would see her vaheesh as well. She was on the older end of things and would always try to chat up the muscle bound younger (I''m guessing mid 20s) men who are in the weight area all the time. DH always notices her (he finds her rather unappealing) and would come home and tell stories about her. On one hand I commend her bravery for just going for what she wants (the younger guys) and on the other hand I want to just tell her to dress mroe appropriately because no one needs to see her "goodies." I''ve watched her quite a bit if shes there when I''m doing cardio and can people watch without being noticed and its SO obvious when shes on the prowl. She will get on a treadmill, clearly be watching all of her prey and when one sits still at a machine long enough, she will go and strike up a conversation.

Other gym behaviors I just don''t get

A) Wearing full face make-up. If its all still on your face at the end of your work out, you weren''t working hard enough.
B) Wearing regular underwire bras (personal preference, just seems downright uncomfortable to me)
C) Yoga pants so tight you can see camel toe. Mirrors are your friend! People WILL notice!

 

[Lauren8211]

Gross. Just... gross.

I can smell the desperation from here.

And camel toe. Sick!

 

[Squirrly]

that''s just wrong.

Oh wow. C-tek, I think that trumps mine.

I go *in* to the gym with a full face of makeup sometimes...if I, for some goodness knows why reason actually put on makeup for work that day...but NEVER otherwise...and I certainly don''t come out with it in tact!!! (Though I will admit to putting on mascara and lip gloss before a half marathon. But in my defense, it woke me up at an awful early hour to do so!)

And ditto elle on the eww to camel toe.

 

[Lauren8211]

I wear foundation because I look gross without it!

Never eye makeup though.

Ditto to the GROSS!

We bought an exercise bicycle so we don''t have to deal with all of that. (plus if it is downstairs there is no excuse to not use it) (We also have 6, 8, 10, and 12 pound weights; tension bands; and an 80 pound dog)

I meant to add earlier that if you go to the gym while at work on your lunch break or something its totally understandable that you''ll have make-up on. I suppose as a non daily make-up wearer (though this may change when I am in the *real* world working, not grad school) I am mystefied by women I see first thing on a Saturday morning wearing not only the basics (lip gloss, mascara, foundation) but also color on lips/eyes/cheeks.

VC- They take your picture at those races! I looked horrible in my triathlon pics. Perhaps if I had a little enhancement it wouldn''t have been so bad.

That may or may not be the *other* reason I put on a little something.

I still look awful, lol. But at least I *FEEL* better about myself.

depends on the store we go to. if i am shopping at a high priced store, i dress up (er, put on heels). but then again, i like to wear heels.

i did ask eric to dress nicer for ring shopping. nothing says lets get married like a pantera shirt.
