    I am on a six week program that has me soaked 10 mins in. I can't wait to look a little cute in the gym once it is done. Love that someone can appreciate that. :bigsmile: Must we all look scrubbed all the time while working out?? :noway: I think not.

    I looooove this thread! And yes, I at least have to wear waterproof mascara when I lift/workout or my eyes disappear. I say why shouldn't we look nice AND be serious about our workouts. You don't have to look like a butch just because you lift (and my apologies to anyone who chooses to look butch when they lift, lol)

    I like both butch and fem.

    I really liked the original post!

    I do lift at lunch, myself, and I have make-up on because it is the middle of my workday....so, yes, I am REALLY glad about what you posted!

    At first I was like:

    then I read it, and was like:

    because it wasn't what I expected, so for that I:

    It's kind of a bait and switch but also not really. It was an open letter to the lovely lady at the gym, so it's not an inaccurate title.
    I was waiting for the part where it goes, "woman wearing makeup at the gym punching me, I don't like you anymore."

    Aww you're welcome sweetie, anytime!

    Oh hai!

    Is this real life?


    Or did I, as seems to be the norm, just completely miss something?

    This definitely wasn't what I thought it would be. Excellent post, you should also put it under your blog section so you can easily go back to it.

    yup bravo for the bait n switch lol but really nice post :) I was all ready to type up a rant about how some people are coming from work or on a lunch break, or hey maybe it helps them get through their day, or maybe miss perfect started where we are... and then you did that, and i didn't have to. sweet... :)

    I don't even go the gym, and I love this. Kind of makes me want to start going.

    Me too! A good reminder that not to assume everyone else is judging us while they toil away.

    Dear Beautiful Woman Who Doesn't Feel Well talking to Woman in Makeup at the Gym: You inspire me. :flowerforyou:

    This ^^ , thank you for the positivity and inspiration!! I too wear makeup to the gym,, am by no means even close to the woman you describe but sometimes feel like people are judging me because of the makeup- but like this woman its only because I am either on break or just got off of work! thanks for making me remind myself to ignore people!!

    Damn, I got a teeny bit teary at the end there. Love this post.

    And, COMPLETELY love the pic series with Dwayne Johnson clapping at the end. I'd quote it, but it just takes up space.

    OP, you are awesome for building a woman up, and not kicking her down!
    gave me goosebumps to read that.

    thank you!

    What a lovely post, we should look to other women for inspiration but instead we so often put them down. Well done you :-)

    Love this!! I refuse to wash my make up off after work and before my workout to make other people feel more comfortable.

    This. Great post O.P.
