Circulating out there on the web are all these sarcastic lists of the "types of people you see at the gym". The meatheads, the sorority girls, the guy who wanders amid the machines for an hour but never actually lifts a weight. You know the list I'm talking about...it's pretty funny since if you've ever spent any time in a gym you recognize these caricatures.
I worked a half day from home on Friday and then decided to jump over to the gym to get a little exercise in before family and friends descended for a fun weekend (GOTR Race and baby shower!). Anyway, I think I became THAT GIRL when I walked in the gym at 2pm on a Friday. Seven months pregnant, my non-maternity race t-shirt stretched tight over my belly, I strolled into the weight room like I would on any other day. Never in my life have I ever felt so many pairs of eyes surreptiously peeking at me in the mirror as the 12 or 15 male denizens of the gym altnerated between shock and curiousity and probably some fear. It was actually pretty funny. Walking towards the water fountain in between exercises, one guy practically jumped trying to get out of my way.
Despite the absurdity, I was actually laughing inwardly ...that's right all you big muscle boys....this is what happens when you have S-E-X!!!! I was imagining the run on condoms at the local store before they all headed to happy hour later that night. My little contribution to population control in Arlington County.

Snort, it's like people are afraid to catch pregnant.
HAHA!! Thats funny!!
That is funny! When I was preggers with the twins, I went to get my haircut when I was rather huge and another woman asked me if I thought I might go into labor right there in the salon. I laughed in her face and told her that she'd be the first to know if it happened. Pregnant women are evidently frightening!
Love it! Our drills on our circuit night include a lot of work with medicine balls. My team mates are afraid to throw medicine balls at me. Really, they should be afraid of me since I throw worse than a girl. We've been doing some silly stuff like walking like a baboon -- now that is a sad sight -- it looks like I ate the baboon.
Thank you for helping to control a gene pool this country should dip into less often :)
