Buff guy at the gym ….
I don’t know about you guys…but, when I am at the gym, I get tunnel vision. So, I automatically assume everyone else does to I guess. Tonight, I was late going to the gym. I usually go during the day…between 10 and 1. I never thought about it one way or the other. So, tonight I go in at 6:30 pm to do my workout. I get on the treadmill and this really BUFF guy (yes….i had to put the buff part in…im human lol) comes up to me and asks me….if my schedule had change and if that was why i was so late today. He was like…I saw you walk in…and I was like…wait..what is she doing here so late so he asked me about it. I bet it was a full second before I even came up with an answer! lol . I am sure this guy didnt mean a thing by it…may be like a puppy…just curious by nature! It was just a really funny moment at the gym….I guess I figure no one really pays that much attention if I come and go…..so, it was nice to know I was wrong. It was a feel good moment.

That is nice. Sometimes we really don’t give ourselves enough credit. Our presence does effect each other some positively some not so positive, I am guessing though it was a positive one for him or why bother talking to you? Cool! Keep up the good work!
It sounds like you may have found a friend. He may see your determanation, and your power to get or be in control. you go girl! sometimes buff guys at the gym are the best friends, because they stickup for you even behind your back. and yes it can be a cruel world for a unfit people. feel proud, you are in control of you!
You go, girl! Keep up the good work.
HUGS
Wow, you never know, he could be your biggest supporter. Sometimes you look at someone like that and think why do they want to talk to me, but you don’t know what struggle they have overcome to get that body. You may be looking at a guy who previously weighed 400 pounds and knows what you’re going through and just wants to encourage you. So just smile at him and say Hey, thanks for noticing. Do you have any pointers for me? You go girl.
So glad you’re getting encouragment. You’re doing great!
That’s so cool, I found the gym is a fun place to meet new people. (I go to Curves so it’s only for women, no buff guys there sadly). I don’t know anyone there by name but I do recognize a few familiar faces.
One day there was a lady working out close to me in the circuit, but again I don’t know her name so I just smiled and said hi to her. Yesterday my mom and I were out for lunch and saw this same woman and she said hi to me. My mom asked if I knew her and I said I did, we met at Curves last week. Here my mom knew her too, she was the daughter of a lady in our church! lol we met at Curves and had no idea we were already old acquaintances!
DEbra that is really interesting I am glad you shared that with us. It is true we just never know who will come along and leave an impression on us. I had a similar thing happen to me when I was at the mall walking. A man probably ten or so years older than I saw me walking briskly aside of him and I was panting from the pace. He must of noticed me staring at all the manikins? not sure how you spell that in the store window because he said to me, “have you ever seen a manikin? that looks like she weighs more than 90 pounds? I wanted to hug him because I took it to mean “slow down honey! you don’t need to be that skinny”. Was that what I wanted to interpret it as you guys? Or do you think he could have meant that? Again Debra as always you inspired. Luv Ya! sista!
man…buff guys noticing you??? Well what do you expect, you are somemansdream!
I went to the gym this past week…and I picked a fairly empty area to do my treadmill walking…
and then I noticed a man come right next to me, and then another on the other side…then another…one more…
I started looking around the gym and there was plenty of room all around…and the other side is completely empty…so I am wondering…what is going on…
Then I see it…it was a magnet. She was a petite blonde with a colored thong under her white shorts right in front of me on an elliptical…
Men…yuck. I was in the middle of a lust pool…so I just went to another machine.
Wow, I am impressed!! That must have made you feel good! Awesome!!
