Any temptations by your gym

My former gym was in a shopping center with a deli, a Japanese restaurant, a Chinese restaurant and right next to a Mexican restaurant (my favorite, and I could smell the yumminess coming through the walls). My current gym is next door to a bar, which is more annoying than tempting.

    Mine is across the street from a Mexican restaurant. At boot camp on Friday nights (when we all wish we were on the patio drinking margaritas and eating guacamole) we run outside and just smell it. :(

    It seems like every gym I have gone to in Texas has a liquor store close by.

    Mine is in my office building. So thankfully, the only temptation is to break my "don't dip your pen in company ink" rule.

    Outside mine is a Grandy's and Chick-Fil-A. The first week I started to the gym, I felt like it was torture. Some days if i'm starving I think, wow, that smells good.

    There is a bread factory near my gym. It often smells like doughnuts. There should be some law against that.

    Frozen Yogurt... the kind where you can add your own toppings. Thus far, I've taken my kids twice but haven't purchased any for myself (OR snitched so much as even a little bite from them!)

    Mine is in a little strip mall with a Quiznos and a Little Caesars which is not fun after my workout. There is also a Burger King across the street and a Perkins next door.

    In the same parking lot, there is a Farrell's Ice Cream parlor. Home of "The Trough"

    Also, Hawaiian BBQ, Hometown Buffet, On The Border, Starbucks, Tasty Goody Chinese Crap, McDonalds and Panera Bread.


    My gym is SURROUNDED by caloric explosions of foodishness.

    There aren't any real temptations outside of my gym, but once a month INSIDE the gym they have free pizza in the evening and free muffins and bagels in the morning. It's just....ridiculous!

    Cute trainers every where I look....I think that's the biggest temptation. Other than that, nothing really.

    Mine shares a parking lot with Fox and Hound Resturant and a Subway. It's also by a Portillios.

    Since I don't understand the obsession with Portillios and think it's ridiculously over priced, I never go there.

    Subway to me is disgusting and there are way better sub options.

    Fox and Hound is Ok, but again over priced.. and I'm cheap.

    So yea there are temptations.. but I never give into any of them!
