    Oh, I notice other people. I just don't assume I know what's in their cups. :bigsmile:

    This. I also don't post my assumptions on a public forum.

    Yep !

    Holy Moly guys....I am really not judging, and yes I am observant at the gym. I like to look at things other than my own reflection in the mirror. I love to people watch, I find people and their traits extremely fascinating....I also learn new lifts and exercises by watching what other people do. I am not putting this lady or anyone else down if they have a soda, or diet drink... Hell, they can have a beer if they want...Its just one of those things that I found so out of place in an environment that is targeted for health...nothing more and nothing less...

    Yes sometimes I get stuck at a mall waiting for someone, you get to see the damndest things from people just walking by.

    So last week I was at the gym and saw something that kind of made me chuckle.... A lady came in who is a regular and jumped on the elliptical. She is there every day on the same machine doing the same workout. What struck my funny bone was; I notice that she is toting a 44 oz soda (most likely Mt Dew) with her. She takes a huge swig and puts it in the cup holder and goes on with her work out. She does this every day that I notice her there. Then yesterday, a guy gets on the treadmill next to me and what does he have??? Yes, a giant soda! So my question is; is there some new trend that I don't know about? or are these people completely defeating their purpose.... and let me make it clear that I am not judging (to each his own) they may allow themselves that one giant soda pop a day and figure they can burn it off during an hour of mediocre exercising...I just think it is so very odd and some what comical!!!
    Maybe they allow these drinks in their calorie goals.

    Maybe it is water and not soda.

    Maybe it's diet soda.

    Maybe they are super thirsty.

    There is nothing wrong with soda and people can drink it at the gym.

    It kinda does sound like you're judging.:(

    Really so calling their workout mediocre isn't judgy?

    what is out of place someone hydrating themselves while they exercise....
