Wednesday June 5, 2002

I feel like crying today. Well, TOM here and other things on my mind... lack of sleep also... I need a chill pill.

This is what happened at the gym today: (This is a rant so please skip this if you can't tolerate...but this is my journal and I have to get this off my chest)

I was doing my Leg Press today and this woman starts giving me these nasty looks and then finally comes over after she did her abs and asks me "How much longer are you going to be?" in a very nasty way. I told her one more set, but I didn't tell her it was a drop set so when I was done with one weight and switched to anoter she looked at me with another nasty look and started tapping her fingers on the machine. Oh, yes she was standing the whole time at my machine as I was doing this last set.

So I told her that I was doing this one last set but since it was a drop set, it takes a lil' longer. She storms of saying something like.." FORGET IT, YADA, YADA, YADA, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH..!!!" and flapped her hands at me to say 'forget it'. I was done 2 seconds after her scene. She came back and screamed "THANK YOU!" very nastily. I had my headphones on and pretended not to hear.

Then when she doing her leg press I walked over and debated whether say something back or not. So instead of saying something nasty or good or brilliant, I said "Sorry, it took so long. If you wanted to work in with me, you should have told me. I was doing a drop set and that takes longer" She: (nastily) "That is what I was saying"!

So I told her: "I didn't know that's what you wanted to do..." DUH!!! Wake up Lina!!! You should have told her that all she asked what "How much longer?" She didn't ask you " Can I work in with you?" So I felt like crap after I realized what I said! Why couldn't I have said that? I let her walk all over me!!! I was mad as hell and near tears. I hate to work out at the machine area because of that!!!! Why can't I have something good to throw back, it always come AFTER the fact!!!

My rant is over! Where are my pills? Hmmm...ok...protein pills will do! Ooph! I feel better!

Lina-

THe whole work-in process on a machine has always bugged me too. i feel your pain.

When people ask passive questions, hover, and act put out but they haven't actually asked to work in- Finish the reps you're on and then

- in the nicest possible voice and with a smile- say "Oh, did you want to work in? You know, sometimes I wish we could read each other's minds- it would be a lot easier." And smile. Let's them know- hey, you didn't actually ask, you moron. Smiles are also the most disarming things to rude people. I fantasize that rude people often go home and wonder "Why am I such an ass?" after I've accomodated their childish needs with a smile and offhand comment that is the opposite. How about. "Sure I'll be done in a minute, in the meantime we can take time to smell the roses, our own body odor......" and smile. Let her know- you stink- I stink too- but ultimately- I smell something that I think is you, or garbage, I'm not sure.

You could also say something like- "Your tapping is throwing off my set counts- if you keep to a beat I'll finish quicker...."

Your not knowing exaclty what she wanted is not your fault and hovering and tapping the machine is rude.

I have also pretended to lose my balance once or twice andif someone is too close, they realize hey, I could be hit by a stray dumbell.

If all of that fails- carry a 2.5lb weight and throw it like a discuss right into her solar plexus. I guarantee you will finish whatever sets you have remaining without much ado.

But you may have to deal with the management and the police.

You go ahead and rant all you want and NEVER apologize for it... it's your journal.

I politely asked this older man if I could work in on the machine bench press once and he got all in a tif and walked away... never said a word stupid, stupid people in this world.

Most of the time fade is with me and people kind of run away from machines when he starts to approach them. I've never seen anyone be rude to him and get away with it

Next time this happens to you... you'll know just what to say

Lina-

Your best bet is probably to listen to Butterfly and Princess. Although we could all use a Fade to scare people off of machines when necessary.

Deep down I know I'd enjoy being a wise-ass though.

Attached is a url for some HIIT suggestions- hopefully you have a bike or pool for a couple of them. I hate cardio!!!!

You all are the best!

Hey Lina, just thought I'd drop in and let you know that I read you entire journal! Again, very impressive. As it was said before, where do you find the time to cook everything and where do you keep track of what you eat? Do you have a seperate journal and then log it here later? J/C I wish I had your dedication. If it wern't for carbs, I wouldn't need cardio! LOL Keep up the great work, you look awesome!

Where there is smoke, there is not enough lubrication!

lina

Hi Lean76!

You read the ENTIRE thing? Thanks! Hope I was able to provide some info and help! I plug everything down into fitday first to see if my macros come out OK, and then I post it here...LOL! no I only do it once!
