Only losers wear make-up to the gym

I am going to do my weekly fitness recap but first, let's talk about make-up at the gym.

If you're "serious" about working out and fitness, OBVIOUSLY you don't bother with putting make-up on in the morning.

Right?!
I wear make-up to the gym. A full face. Foundation, powder, bronzer, eyeshadow, eyeliner, eyebrows, mascara, lipgloss- the whole thing. If doing my hair was part of my normal repertoire, I would probably do my hair prior to going to the gym too, but alas, a messy bun is my norm both at the gym and at the grocery store. I also wear a full face of make-up to the grocery store and to drop Eva off at school. I even put make-up on before I run on my treadmill in my basement... Judge away ladies.

I put make-up on every morning before I go out- gym or not. Does that mean that I am not going to sweat? No. Does that mean that I am there just for show? Double no. Does that mean that I am going to try to hit on your man while I am there? Triple no.

Why do we judge each other and our individual choices so harshly?
Anyways, like I knew was going to happen, I didn't get much work in this past week. Between my other obligations and the long hoiday weekend, I wasn't able to get any workouts in until Monday and even then, it was just in my basement.

I busted out my old pal (who hasn't seen the light of day in wellllllll over a year), dragged her in between the door frame right next to a foos-ball table and the beer fridge and ran both Monday and Tuesday. Having her ready to go will take away my excuse not to run on the days that my other obligations prevent me from going in to the gym. This week, today is the only week day that will allow me to actually go in to the gym.

So, thanks to my basement friend, I am 12 miles into my 50 miles in July goal. Not too shabby. As far as weight loss goes, not a pound... Not even an ounce. But this was a long weekend filled with junk food and too many cocktails. Oh well.
Are you back on track after the long weekend? Do you wear make-up to the gym?
