Pain. Two nights ago I went to the gym for belly dancing, and afterwards decided to go downstairs to the weight machines. Good idea, all in all.... the problem [one I rarely REALLY complain about], is that there were too many good looking guys there. Go ahead, call me whatever you want to call me, but that's one of the perks of working out in the weight machine area. Boys are doing bench presses, and chin ups, and this crazy backwards sit up thing... and I hang out, do my thing and [smile]... watch :).
The problem is this... when there are a multitude of good looking boys, or when the one I frequently watch shows up halfway through my workout, I have a tendency to hang out/lollygag/do-machines-twice/stretch-more-often/etc..... today however, my gawking and dawdling is causing me pain. Wednesdays workout had me dawdling in all the worst ways... and as I find myself cringing whenever I climb up the stairs, I think "Is this really worth it"... and of course, smile to myself, because... why not [grin]. ... no pain, no gain, right?

Maike, Maike, Maike... that's funny stuff. I think it's more that you can appreciate guys who take care of their physical being, and EVERYONE likes to be appreciated, esp by those we admire, too! This could be God saying, 'Hey, you wanna have your cake and eat it too, then you gotta be happy when you get the crusty corner peice with too much icing.' Ok, so God probably put it fewer words, but that's my $0.02... So either you stop because of the pain (which is gain, yes), or you put up and go back again, but try to remember a better reason to be there, and that those hot bods all around you are secondary: lustrous things soon do rust; where you plcae your treasures, there your heart will be... :)
Can you guess who this is without putting my name?
[smile]... I have a guess who this might be posting... and I'll agree with my 'appreciation' of guys who take care of themselves [nod]...
as a side note, the hot bods, are just an added bonus to working out... I definitely have better reasons for working out besides gawking at them [smile].
I meant without me putting my name...you can guess on here, I'll check back.
