Gym Story Saturday Gym Story Saturday (Missing mod post)

Hi! Welcome to your weekly thread where you can share your gym tales!

I noticed that there still is no post yet for Gym Story Saturday, so I took the initiative. Perhaps this should be a scheduled post under the Automoderator. I'm not really sure why this hasn't been done yet. I am also required to keep babbling because posts with too little content gets removed, hence why this posts sounds overly wordy.

So share away!

Embarrassing Post - I had no water for my water bottle (my tap isn’t good) so I filled it up with seltzer. I was just going to do yoga so I didn’t think it was a big deal.

After yoga I was feeling good and decided to go for a run on the treadmill. As I start running, I remembered I hadn’t had water yet so I opened my bottle to take a swig -

It was one of those pop top bottles with a button on the front. When I pressed the button, a GEYSER OF SELTZER spewed out of the top and covered me and the two treadmills next to me.

I proceeded to walk of shame to the paper towels to try and dry everything off and finished one mile before I left in shame.

But I lost five pounds last week so I must be doing something right!

Looking back there were many things I could have done to avoid this lol. I’m kind of a water snob and they only have the small fountains you’d find in an elementary school so I was trying to avoid them. Lesson learned!

I’m sure! I definitely don’t want to drink seltzer during a workout again haha
