Trops Diary

I'm not psycho about it or anything, but I don't talk to people unless I have a reason. When I'm working out, there isn't really any reason to talk.

Hiya Trops. I don't believe I've stopped in here yet.

I should be caned!

Happy belated new year.

And Maureen, that's me in the gym. I talk to no one. I don't make eye contact even. I get in, I pick up and put down heavy shit, and I go home. Most people annoy me in gyms, lol.

I think you'd like our gym. It's a pretty good collection of fools :)

Some of the members make you laugh out loud ... they're workouts are so incredibly retarded. And others are just there to be seen ...

But for the most part, it's a bunch of people who are working pretty hard to either get in shape or stay in shape (other than the lady's side, which is a fucking joke).

I don't work out on the lady's side unless I need comic relief :D
 
I talked a lot at my old gym. But it was the real deal. No trainers. No fancy equipment. Just strong people busting ass.

It closed though and now I'm left out to be fed to the yuppies. The shit I see if I look around is so irritating that I only do it when I want an extra 'umph' with my next set, lol.

Are you one of those people at the gym that I think is a sociopath because you never talk to anybody? :D

Almost everybody at the gym I go to says something ... either to themselves (which happens quite a bit!), or to the person next to them :p

We're a chatty, friendly bunch up here in Cowtown ;)

Ohhhh ... that would be annoying. I worked out at a gym like that for about 2 months before I realized it wasn't going to work. I'd get so stressed about going to the gym and having to be in the same room as these stink holes were in, that I'd have to psych myself out for about an hour.

I cancelled my membership and went to World Gym, which wasn't much better, but at least I wasn't surrounded by a bunch of 3 piece suit asswipes that knew nothing about working out and were only there to talk shop and comment on breasts. One of the guys did that to me when I was benching. I got up and bitch slapped him in the face and told him the next time I benched, he was to turn his head and look elsewhere or I'd get his ass kicked out of the gym for sexual harassment. It wasn't so much WHAT he said ... it was the WAY he said it. What a creep.

Those were the worst two months of my workout life ...

I don't know how you can stand it, Steve.

Nope. Alberta. Totally different province ;) No marijuana here except in the grow op homes :D

And it's only legal in small amounts up here. I actually don't know anybody who does drugs. I run with a pretty clean crowd :p

....yup I feel ya....THE ZONE....:D:!!!....(I love ear phones for that same reason)!
 
Well, yesterday was a pretty good one. It was a day off for me, but I had a list of things to do a mile long. I pretty much got them all done, too. About 3 in the afternoon I realized that I hadn't eaten anything, so I had a bowl of cereal.

We had my mother in law over for dinner, so I made chicken paprikash and dumplings. Good dinner, but not the healthiest. I figure that I was at such a deficet that it all works out. I also had a nice scotch for before dinner cocktail and a glas of wine with dinner. Now I'm just so thursty that I'm drinking water like crazy.

Then I get the call to cover the midnight shift. :( Well, It's double time so I'm taking it. :) It throws off my workout schedule, but I'll figure something out.
 
Thanks, JZ. It's looking like I might not be having as great of a weekend as I thought. I'm still working on it. :(
 
I hope your weekend flips into a good one. Always a bummer when things don't go as planned.

You're a BEAST... nuff said! :)
 
Work isn't really the issue this time. I'm off Sunday. It's just that I have so much other stuff going on and people counting on me to get some stuff done and all. I'll let myself down before I let others down. It's just my way. I'll always try to get it all done, but I know who gets cut in the end.

Tomorrow I'm running a long run unless the weather is bad. Then I'm screwed.
 
Oh, and knowing that today would be full, I got up and did the gym before work. Not a great workout, but a 5 on the JZ scale.
