Does this only happen to me?

How come every time I go to the gym I see some form of genitalia? I mean, I understand it's a gym locker room and people change, but these people have NO SHAME.

Today there was a lady just sitting there with NOTHING on just rummaging through her gym bag... really, you couldn't look for whatever you are looking for BEFORE you got naked? If you are at least trying to change but are facing away from the rest of the people in the locker room or trying to cover up with a towel or something- then yes, that I think that is fine. But to those who don't even attempt to be discrete, I just don't get it.

I guess I'm just not that comfortable with myself/my body to go stripping down the in gym locker room, especially when there are perfectly good stalls near by that yield more privacy.

Either way I change at home.

Gym

Today I finally did it, I joined a gym. Now don't get me wrong, I don't need a gym to go running, but I do need a gym to swim laps! So today I went with Allie and signed up so that I can start swimming laps again, and just to prove to myself that it was worth it, I went and swam some laps right after I signed up!

It felt great to be swimming again, and I felt so much more tired and thoroughly worked out after swimming in comparison to running (maybe it's just the swimmer in me coming out after a few years of hibernation). Either way, I love it. I'm so excited I did it, and I'm looking forward to swimming in addition to my Tue/Thur/Sun runs with Stephanie. Go me haha!

Other than that, as soon as I got home from the gym I made some blueberry muffins, talk about hypocrite, but at least I didn't feel as guilty when I was licking the bowl clean!
