Synny667 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Work was an off day... I didn't want to be there and my client wanted me to bake and shampoo the kitchen carpet.

Synny667 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 I put on my scrubs this morning and as I sit here I really begin to realize that I am much smaller than I thought. I could fit a friend in here with me and we would still have room to move around I bet. Guess it is time to phone a friend and get my scrubs take in cause I wont' buy new one!

Synny667 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 I am so glad to be home and ending my day! I feel like I have been violated, well I know I have actually. *gets on soap box* I think people at the gym tend to forget manners and personal space. For 1) if I am lifting don't interrupt me. 2) don't invade my personal bubble. 3) don't do 1 and 2 all at once!! I was lifting minding my own business when a regular a the gym I barely know walked up behind me and started blowing on my neck!!! When I kicked my foot back he was so close my foot didn't go far. Finished my rep jumped away pulling my headphones out yelling get out of my bubble. All he did was laugh and call me Dorothy (Wizard of Oz).... He carried on for a couple mins and finally went away. This is now the second time someone from the gym has done that. Next time I won't be nice.... That is all.

Gaia Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I would have politely asked him his name, and then thank him, and head for the office to complain about him. You might not be the only woman he has harassed like that. Of course I might go on to tell him that I was going to the office to call the police and file a sexual harassment charge against him, and let it slip out that my boyfriend is a lawyer, and a damn good one at that! Lying of course, but I would let the office know that he did harass you while you were working out. Our gym has a zero tolerance for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 I yelled stay out of my bubble and kept saying go. I did tell the manager who want willing to do anything about it. I will be looking for a new gym that isn't a chain or overly expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaia Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I just asked my friend what she would do in that situation, and she said she would ask him if he was wanting to use the machine/weights next, and could he please wait for her to get done with her set first. She is so nice and polite. Then again, she is a teacher, and maybe she would thing that he needed to be taught gym etiquette.I think I would have said "WTF? I'm using this now, wait your f**cking turn!" and pretend to have a roid rage building up inside of me. Yeah, in my dreams. I am such a wimp. That is why I would go running to the office to complain. It would be cool if I could have jungleinthefrunk's posing stare, and stare him down! Don't need to say anything at all with that stare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mina Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Omg! Creepy! Who does that lol ! Yea, please love, look for a new gym. Now I know why some women prefer an all-woman gym. Then again, I don't doubt some dudes would do this sort of thing on purpose to get rid of the sex that "doesn't belong" in a gym.. I'm such an instigator lol. Anyways, seriously, it's a great idea to find a new gym. I can't believe you got no support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 The manager's exact words were he touches everyone..... I really dread looking for a new gym cause I have a sweet membership price that fits my budget beautifully... $16/month!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Was a nice peaceful sunny day for me. Saw all the wonderful people at the gym today and one of the women bodybuilders walked by me while I was doing cardio and placed her hand on mine as she walked by.

Synny667 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 So it has been 6 weeks since I last measured myself. Of course I didn't like the numbers..... I couldn't do all the measurements myself but the 3 I really wanted to measure were simple enough I could do them. January 15Chest 44"Waist 40"Hips 46.5" March 1 Chest 41.5"Waist 38.25"Hips 45" The numbers are going down which makes me very happy. I should have measured before I ate though hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divamom Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 hope you and yours are ok with all the storms they are showing on the news in MO sweet on the #'s...like an elevator--they are going down. take pics!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 I took pics 4 almost 4 weeks ago and won't be posting them till after week 6 when I have comparison pics. Not that I have a good photographer to do it but it is all good. The storms were way south of me but I used to live down there. I wish I had been smart and taken measurement when I first started 15 months ago. I actually floored someone yesterday with my pic from a year ago. I have been on a huge transformation journey and I no longer even look like the person I used to be. I am excited to see what the future holds for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaia Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I tried Kettlebells this week. I was sweating after 15 minutes! And it was a private lesson for me and my partner - we both know the personal trainer that does the Russian-style Kettlebells class and she offered to show us the moves and how they can work for us. I was worried just a little because the only day she could get us in was a Tuesday an hour before our Delt workout - but after the lesson, I was all warmed up for Delts and had no problem lifting the heavy weights! Though I had done Legs the day before and could feel those talking, at times screaming, at me as I did some swings with the kettlebells while squatting at the same time. Very fun and interesting if you do different moves with the kettlebells, and she incorporates some planks and something like downdog with chatarungas also in our routine. Have you tried a Kettlebells class yet? Do they offer it at your gym? I am slowly working my way into spinning. I haven't officially taken a class yet. I just hop on a bike during the day, and pedal to my music. I go fast when the tempo fits it, and I can almost hover with my quads not ceasing up on me (they cramped up on my first two attempts at spinning - but the last time they didn't!). Unfortunately I am still in the 'I hate cardio stage' of my diet. Maybe when it gets nice out and I can go trail running, then I will like cardio again (I felt funny wearing my last year's 10mile race shirt for the elliptical's 30 minutes of HIIT today. What a difference 6 months of hard work/heavy lifting can do to a body!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 No kettlebell classes at my gym I wish they did. I might look up some moves and use a dumbbell. I am killing it on cardio. 45 min once a day. To cold for me to walk the dog and I dont want to waste gas driving to the gym for am cardio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synny667 Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 I am supposed to work today but my mind is wandering to the great outdoors with my dog! I was hoping to get some hiking in before a killer leg workout so I wouldn't have to worry about cardio tonight. Speaking of legs a male friend of mine followed me around the gym the other day and kept me company on the treadmill as I did a vicious incline walk. Told him I had to get my legs in shape to do hiking and he told me my legs were rock hard and didn't need any work. A bit odd coming from him considering he NEVER compliments me on anything.
