People Watchinnn!

Ever since I was little I have been very observant and a people watcher. I promise I'm not a creeper! :) For a while I had stopped my 5:30am workouts at planet fitness and had switched to after work....slowly that became not as consistent. I am back at it again, hoping I can be more disciplined in this routine! It felt good to be back there this morning. The same early morning group of people were there. I haven't seen them in a long time. Some have changed...some are still the same! Please let me describe some of my favs! You will wish you worked out at 5:30am too!

Double the fun- There are two ladies in their later 40s that come every morning together to work out. They both have mullets and rock awesome 80s get ups (scrunched sock action) Besides looking awesome, they talk really LOUD and pretty much are all about the gossip. They talk about celebrities, their neighbors, their kids and the people IN the gym. I hear some pretty out there things...

Middle part man- He's a nurse. Bless his heart, he has gotten in really good shape, but his hair is parted down the middle. It looks like side bangs on each side. His bangs go crazy when he jogs really fast :)

100th power lady- Everything she does is kicked up to the 100th power. Just watching her is exhausting for me. She goes all out. While she walks at a pace of 8.7 she always spices it up with some sweet arm movements. I wish I could demonstrate for you! The best part is when she gets on the stepper... I am really happy for her though, she has lost a lot of weight and looks great! Maybe I should put a sweat band on and learn from her?...:)

Then there's the guy who had to of lost 50 pounds in the last 4 months. As he has been losing the weight, the girls he brings with him to the gym keep getting prettier and prettier.. It's really funny to me.

Forget water!- There is another lady who has replaced a water bottle for a cup of coffee. Every time I look over she's drinking it while on the elliptical. This can't be good for you!..I LOVE coffee, but that's just not right...

Some of my other personal favs at the gym is when people are all working out to the beat of the music... It is HILARIOUS when you look around and see everyone working out at the same pace. I seriously feel like I'm living in a musical!

I hope you all have enjoyed getting to know the people I work out with :)
