I went to the gym at lunch for a nice little quickie workout. I decided to do some waking on the treadmill because I felt too tired for the elliptical.
I was on the phone with my friend from college making plans for tonight when I stepped on the machine. We were finishing up our conversation so I just walked very slowly at 3.0 until we hung up with each other. The guy next to me looked at me and said, “PHONE!” I chose to ignore him because I was almost done my conversation anyway and it really annoyed me.
About 3 minutes later, I told my friend I’d call her back and the guy gets off his machine and tells on me!! A woman that works there comes up to me and I tell her I was saying byeto my friend! She goes on and on about how it is gym policy not to talk on the phone. I think I know that which is why I was getting off. She stood there behind me staring at me until I was forced to hang up on my friend.
I can understand if I was talking all loud during my entire walk and being annoying. That bothers me too. But I was finishing off my conversation and talking really quietly so the whole thing just pissed me off. I started to run really fast because I was so mad and my water bottle was hitting the machine every time I made a step. I decided to just let it bang to really piss the guy next to me off. Hey, at least I was off my phone!
I ended up doing 30 minutes total. I kept switching between running and walking every couple of minutes. Nice little midday workout. I won’t be going later so I am glad I did something.
Lunch was turkey, cheese, hummus, mustard, cucumbers, and lettuce on an Arnold’s Sandwich Thin.
Delicious combo as always!
With my last bag of Popchips!!! 
I had about a handful left of apples in the bag so I finished them off for dessert. 
Tonight I am going out to dinner with my roommate from college. She lives in Long Island but we barely see each other since I do not have my car here. It will be nice to get myself out on a Friday! I promised myself I would not sit home anymore on Friday nights since it always leads to a loss of control. We will probably stay out for some drinks after dinner too. I will try not go crazy with the drinking because I am starting to feel kind of feverish. Should be fun though.

Yikes…I don’t think my gym has that policy! Hopefully it’s okay to still text?
I hope you feel better and don’t get sick! We’re just going to our neighbors for the Super Bowl…nice because I don’t have to worry about driving anywhere after a few drinks.
Have a great weekend!

I think texting is okay, just not talking! I’m sure that guy still would have told on me if I was just texting! He needs to get a life! Have a good weekend!!

what? you cant talk on your phone? thats stupid. are you allowed to talk to other people? seems like the same thing…
talking on the phone is the best way to make your workouts go faster! except when its a really tough one and they cant understand you…

Yeah I agree! I like talking sometimes because it makes the time go by! You can talk to other people though! Weird..especially since the guy had headphones on and couldn’t hear me anyway!

If my gym had that policy I would have been kicked out a long time ago! Haha! Well, I think it was just once that I conducted an entire 40-minute conversation on the elliptical!
That guy must be really bored if the only thing he can focus on is the girl next to him at the gym.
I love your water bottle revenge

Sorry about the gym mishap. At least you got out some frustrations with your interval work.
Nothing too exciting this weekend. Just watching some very clever commercials in between my husband’s football watching.
