Me: 2 Meathead: 0

I thought today would be a perfect morning to get my butt to the gym. After a weekend of (baking) and eating everything bad in sight.. along with starting the morning off particularly stressed the eff out... I thought I would go and run off all of my extra anxiety.

I walked into the gym... welcomed by the beautiful smell of man sweat and the sound of people running on treadmills.... and that's when it happened...

That's when I saw...... him.

The meat head stalker himself. Standing between me and the stair climber..

As though the universe had set me up for this.

Hoping he wouldn't recognize me with the brown hair, I immediately headed straight for the machines and was greeted with an "oh God, it's YOU again" look.

That awkward moment when I realized he was staring RIGHT at me, and not only did he recognize me.. he was taking EVERY available second to judge me.

So, I did what any self respecting girl would do.. sucked in, stood up pin straight.. and asked him if he had "been taking a break from working out lately... I've never seen you look this.........small....

well.... here's to YOU getting back at it ;)"

I gave myself a mental pat on the back as I watched him walk away, staring at his biceps, arms stretched out in front, fists closed, flexing for himself.

 He even took a small, but very noticeable break at the mirror next to the water fountain feeling his own arms up.

I turned on the Stair Climber and thought "oh lord... I'M the one who's been taking the break.."

But, I couldn't let HIM see that.........

so I up'd the levels a little bit.

I guess it's good motivation, because while he was busy groping his own arms, I was KILLING myself to keep up the pace I had set. (for myself mind you.... I actually made a CONSCIOUS decision to be RUNNING up the stair climber.)

I waited until the very last available second after he walked into the free weight room to stop the machine before my heart literally burst out of my chest.... or my legs fell out from under me. I guess either of those happening would have been completely worth it in that moment, because lord knows I wouldn't have had it any other way.

I went out to the parking lot and puked.

BUT If I know him.. and I think I do.... he's probably upping the juice.... right now.
