8 Reason Why Not To Wear Jeans To the Gym

By Zirconicusso from Freedigitialphotos.net

1. You look silly.
Honestly, you and everyone around you know that it'd weird only because we're inside. If you were outside throwing bails of hay anything other then jeans would be stupid. However, barbells aren't going to sting or cut you.

2. They don't move.
Even with some spandex in the make up, your normal range of movement is now down to 60% or less.

3. They make you instantly hotter.
Gym classes are usually in rooms inside of giant redone warehouses.  This means air flow and circulation was not the first and most important part of construction. Even with fans, movements that normally have no affect have you dripping.

4. Now that you're hot and sweaty your jeans now stick to you.
This increases your risk for ripping the jeans and restricts movement. See 2. for more information.

5. Nice sweaty waist band.
I, like most people wear a belt with their pants. That means all the sweat rolling down your back has to go somewhere. So it goes straight down to your waist and in your waist band. Which is the spot that normally takes longer to dry out. Which is nice. 

6. You now go back to work smelly
Because the shorts were forgotten and the force of wearing your jeans to gym class, now you get to shower, wash your face, put on a new layer of deodorant, and put sweaty gross jeans back on. Awesome!

7. Saggy butt.
The jeans you sweated in also stretched and even though it limited your flexibility, it still did bend and move in ways it is not normally accustomed to it now sags. The normal 3 days or so of wear you can get out of it is now cut down to as soon as you get home they are washed. For the rest of the day they will hang loose and unflattering.

8. You feel silly.
Have you ready 1-7 yet? All the reasons above are now going through your head in a loop. Your lack of coordination and two left feet make the already questionable Zumba skills are doubled. Okay, lets triple it for be more fair.

In summary, double check your bag more than once. Black things at the bottom of the bag could be your shorts OR New Dude's T-shirt.

Also, I was hoping to make it a list of 10 things, however as you can tell, I kind of failed.

Thanks for reading! Let me know if there was another reason you should never, ever wear jeans to the gym with a comment below.  

100 Days of Happiness Days 51-60

At the start of this year one of my good friends post this challenge on her Facebook page. She was also kind enough to specifically dare me and a few of her other friends to do this 100 happy days.

I thought about it, thought about it, and thought about it, and after about a week, I was like I can do this. However, I really don't like posting things on Facebook that much. Sure, I like to tell people about new blog posts but for the most part I mostly post about 2-3 times a week. 100 days in a row is just too much.

So I've turned it into a post series.

Why? Why not? I'm a blogger right?

Here are the simple rules straight form the site http://www.100happydays.com/ "How? Plain simple! every day submit a picture of what made you happy! It can be anything from a meet-up with a friend to a very tasty cake in the nearby coffee place, from a feeling of being at home after a hard day to a favor you did to a stranger."

Well it is very safe to say I failed this task 100000% successfully. 

While it sucks and I feel bad about it I'm not going to try again or at least not this year. I am sadded that I was unable to complete this task. Actually any task really. However, this is not the first time and it will not be the last. 

I feel like this post was to remind me and other people how to show appreciation for life and people everyday. Each day, picture or no picture I try to accomplish this goal.

Like this post I still fail but will contiune keeping on and keeping on. 

I applaud anyone else who was able to complete this task.

For now I'm just going to try and keep up with this blog and go from there. One day at a time for eating well, exercising, and just over all being better at life.

Razor Burn!

by federico stevanin from freedigitalphotos.net

*Note* This post was written a while but I forgot to find a picture and post it. Enjoy!

The other night New Dude and I were headed out for a late night party. Well, now a days it is a late night party, before it was just a party.

It was way too cold to wear a dress. The pants I wanted to wear, New Dude was kind enough to iron for me while I tried to find a shirt to wear. I pulled out a sweater, but due to who knows what it now was strecteched in weird places and would not do.

The shirt I ended up picking lacked sleeves. Yes, I would probably be cold, but not freezing so this would be fine.

However, I had been unable to shave my arm pits earlier that day. I had showered at the gym after doing laps in the pool. When I went to go find my razor, I couldn't find it. For work I was wearing sleeves so that was fine.

But now I'm sleevless, and the possibility of maybe arm pit hair is such a horrible thing. Of all the girly things I lack, I know and feel hair arm pits are not suppose to happen.

Well, I was like that's fine, I'll take care of this. I grab the razon from the shower and snip snap my arm pits are now hair free. Let me add a swipe or two of deprodiant and I'll be good to go!

Except for the fact that my arm pits are now ON FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried now to get rid of the  deordiant by using a damp wash cloths, which I think just added to the fire and smashing the stuff into my skin.

So then I show New Dude what I did and he suggested the Sun Burn Cream we have. I try that and it doesn't really help.

I'm trying to put eye liner on with skin under my arm just causing me distress. I used some Benadryl cream I had. It was the only other cream we had in the house that might have helped.

I think it did help, but not with the redness.

So pretty much, I learned that hairy pits are WAY more comortable and better than having shaved on fire arm pits that are red and hateful.

Anyone else have this issue before? If so let me know with a comment below.
