Do endorphins suck brain cells?

This could go on for pages, no?? ;)

Seriously though, I was in the gym today and some guy was lifting heavy dumbbells while shuffling around in his flip flops. Seriously? :confused: The trainers and staff just went about their business, no one paying a lick of attention.

I mentioned something to the trainer I know fairly well there on the way out & he said oftentimes it falls on him to police w/o the support of others. Basically, he hears "well the nice trainer told me it was okay".

WTF??? I guess the nice trainer will come pay your bills & visit you when you break your entire foot. How moronic. Not to mention a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Don't hate me, but I secretly wanted to see that idiot drop something. Oh oh oh, and don't forget the ladies on the stairclimbers in heels that think it gives you that added oomph. :rolleyes:
 
DEB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG, how are ya girl!!

I hate to admit it, but I used to workout barefoot when lifting :eek: Can't now, but I used to. So yes, my excuse is that the endorphins sucked my brain cells :)

I'll forgive you since I kind of like you. :p

I'm good...crazy around here. Hubby is taking the bar end of next month and working full time still so he is pretty MIA. Lots of running around like a chicken. Bgawk!! My baby is starting kindergarten in the fall!! Sniff. Still working out like a maniac, of course...trying to break my own barriers here & there ;) The latest thing I found is the Beyond 300 workout in M&F Hers this past month. It's awesome!!

How are you???
 
You sound super busy Deb. I can not believe you little tyke is starting kindergarten in the fall. Is he lifting weights yet?? :p

I've been doing well. A bit crazy here to. I'm recovering from neuroma surgery and dying to get back to some serious lower body and cardio w/o :( It's slowly getting better. Other than that same ole same ole. I've been doing STS for the upper body lol. So my lower body will have some catching up to do :D

Tell DH good luck with the bar!

take care!
 
Debbie!!! OMG I can't believe your little guy will be STARTING KINDERGARTEN!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

And my best wishes to your DH, too! I'm sure he'll do GREAT on the bar exam!! ;)

As for whether or not endorphins suck brain cells, I can't say for sure, but they do leave me with a silly smile. :p

I have to admit, I occasionally lift heavy barefoot. It's my issue with my foot- my left toes hurt like hell when I wear shoes for very long and sometimes I just find the pain too bloody distracting.
 
Hi Deb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:) Good luck to your DH on the bar. I am in the same boat- Connorbonnor starts the big K this year too! Chasers just turned 7! Craziness.........

Good to see you tho*mwah*
 
Oh yes, I've seen this too, & as someone who has dropped a plate on her foot while wearing sneakers, I have to wonder what on earth they're thinking.

But if you really want to hear me rant, then let's tall cell phones in the gym. Last week I watched a woman chatting it up for 20 minutes while she was on the elliptical. Didn't even break a sweat. Why even bother? She should save her $80 monthly memberhip fee & put it towards more minutes on her cell plan. :rolleyes:

Not to mention it's against gym rules to bring your cell past the lobby, but then, what gym rules actually ARE enforced? :mad:
 
Good to luck to your husband! :)

OK here's my wacky folks at the gym story. It's relatively early in the 'noon so I am flying solo on the machines, happy as a clam doing my sprints. I have my ipod so usually turn the TV off because I can sometimes hear it and it's distracting, plus why waste electricity. So this young woman comes in and strolls over to the machine. She flips the TV on. No big deal. But then, she also selects a magazine and puts headphones on before getting on the treadmill. Putting aside the fact that there's a serious lack of mind/body/workout connection there, are we so enamored of stimulus that the TV has to be on when we're not even watching it??

Whew. Sorry. Rant over.
 
Thank you so much, ladies!!! Huggies & smooches to you all.

Meggles, are WE ready for kindergarten?? :p

Wendy, I can't believe how big your guy is getting. I think I saw him when he was under 2? Where does the time go? Oh yeah...right across our faces ;)

Misssss Leeeeee! Love ya, girl.

Cath, sending you tons of vibes for good health. All my best.

Thanks again, ladies. You are all so heartwarming.

If you can do it carefully, more power to you...but I am klutzo extraordinaire, so that would be a negative, houston.
