Hey no one asked for your advice, ok?

JMO, but if mayonnaise is a part of your diet, and any food that you eat, ever, then you should be the recipient of any illness. From said gross nasty mayonnaise!!

Mayonnaise should be loaded onto a rocket ship and launched into the Sun!!!

Gym Characters:

• The Cleaner. This guy won't wash his hands after he goes pee. BUT, after he uses a machine or a bench, he will wipe down said machine/bench so wet and thoroughly, that if I use said machine/bench after him, I'll need a frickin beach towel to dry it.

Continuing:

• Tommy TankTop. This lunkhead will wear a tanktop to the gym, even in 25 degree weather. It's ok if you look like TO did in his driveway, all jacked and ripped. BUT, if you're an average chubby dude, with back acne, hairy shoulders, and have faded out Skull/Crossbone tattoos, maybe even an old Guns & Roses one, and you are over 40 years old, it's probably time to wear a full shirt at the gym. And at the grocery store. Pretty much anywhere in public.

I find these are usually Over the hill Has beens

Great time of the year. A bunch of gym newbie's who have no gym etiquette.

Thank goodness I can workout in the morning, before 10am. I can't even imagine the ish show that pervades the gym after 4 pm or so. Horror show, I'd think . 🫣😬

15 sets of Back this morning. Then 9 sets of Abs. Then a whopping 10 minutes on the Treadmill. At a 3.5 mph walk.

I don't know how people do Cardio. It's soooo boring.

Ran in shorts and a t shirt this morning. Felt so good because, for the past few weeks, it's been in the high 20's to the high 30's during every run which meant sweat pants, sweat shirt and lined nylon pullover overtop of that. Should get a couple more warmer runs in before the temps drop again. I'll take it.

Peleton and core in the morning

Managed to walk 9 holes this afternoon too

I think I might try and slog through some cardio tomorrow morning, no weights. Maybe 30 minutes on the treadmill. That's about all I can handle. LOL

I've lifted weights like 12 days in a row. I'm sure I'm overtraining. My shoulders and left wrist are hurting. 😬

Yeah I can’t do a treadmill. I’ve tried when there’s ice and snow on the ground and I can’t run, but it’s a completely different workout on a treadmill and I don’t like it.

My wife is the opposite. She loves the treadmill. Have one in our basement (along with a Peloton Bike) that she uses 3x a week. And she uses the treadmill at the gym 3x a week. As much as I hate cardio, she's a cardio machine. 🤓

Props to the city of Greensboro for plowing the main loop around the park that I often run at. Was finally able to get out there and knock the rust off after 1.5 weeks on the couch due to the ice and snow. I've gotta say, it's a bit disheartening how much rust formed after just 1.5 weeks but hopefully it doesn't take too long to get back to where I was before the storm.

My wife said to me the other day....."you are looking good. Lean and kinda ripped. BUT please keep your clothes on, you are way hotter fully clothed ".

Im not sure how inwould take that lol

Yeah , TJ, I was like.......huh? What? A hidden message in that comment. 🤣😆

I love working out on Sunday mornings. The gym is empty. I can get a bench in the dumbbell area, I can get on the cables, and get on some machines, if needed.

Still no cardio for me though. Blah, BORING.

25F when I ran on Sunday. After warming up enough to forget about the cold I felt fantastic. 65F when I ran this afternoon. Shorts and a t shirt the warm air felt fantastic, until I started running. Never got comfortable, was a grind the whole way. Also, surprising how many paths are still covered by snow and ice despite the warm up. Ready to run somewhere else.

Going to Greensboro end of June for my daughter's national gymnastics competition. Any activities/sites/restaurants we should be checking out while there for a few nights? May be staying downtown by the ball field.

Before I goggle that, what is it and how would it benefit me? I'll take your opinion/thoughts over google reviews of the product. Thanks! 😊

We have a multitude of the finest Mattress Stores and Vape Shops on the East Coast that you’ll want to make time for. In all seriousness, let me think on it a little and I’ll post some ideas. Are you all down for fine dining or mainly family restaurants?

Probably not high end dining since we'll be packing more for comfort than class. Just looking for places with good atmosphere and good drinks.

I don't have any need for mattress store or vape shop recommendations. There's about 10 of each within 2 square miles of where we live. Also car washes. One every damn block.

No car washes either? You’re not going to make this easy.
