tatauu22's Journal, 16 July 2020

I'm very thankful that yesterday is in the books. Talk about a day. I got up early to go workout at the gym at work, get there and I had forgotten my gym bag. Aye on me. Race home to get ready for work, leave the house and I had people riding my rear all the way to work. If I can't see the make of your vehicle, you are a little to close...BACK OFF. Stopped off to have some blood taken, the results came back today. I'm still low on protein but it has increased some so I'm happy with that. Sodium is low though. Not sure how that happened..lol. Made it through the day and went to PF last night. Had a decent workout but not stellar. There was this one guy that came in still dressed in his casual business attire (his preference, I guess). He starts working on the machines and just moves from one to the other without wiping down any of them after he was finished. I said something about that and he informed me..he didn't think it was necessary and he wasn't going to do it. He asked if I worked there. I told him even without Covid around, nobody wants his sweat and cooties on the machine. He said he wasn't sweating then starts giving me a hard time that I left the last machine messy (I had wiped it down and it hadn't quite dried yet). I'm thinking really dude!! I finished with my workout and let somebody who worked there. Not sure if I handled that right. For those who go to the gym, how do you handle a situation like that? Got home, put country style ribs in the instant pot and they came out dry. I just gave up and had a salad.
Today is going to be a better day! Everyone have a most fabulous day.
Also, please keep my BIL in your prayers. He has tested positive for covid and is really sick.
Sorry this was a saga.

Hmmm - Still working out, still got a job, can afford meat, still have blood...You are banging on all cylinders!!! Seriously, Don't let the tail riders and the cootie leavers get you down. By the way, I've been hoping to have country ribs in the Instant Pot - I can't believe they came out dry. Maybe they were in too long? I'm off work with a nice little headache today.

You absolutely did the right thing! It's something that should always be done but for sure right now! My gym is super strict about that! They hired extra people to make sure all equipment is always wiped down. It makes me feel better about going to gym. Hope today is a better day!👍💜

Sharon, I do think I left them in to long for the size they were. I'll try again though. Diana..today is much better thanks! I hope your day is good

Prayers on the way and I think you handled it appropriately. Dude should be tossed from the gym if he's not going to comply.

On the ribs, you can rehydrate by cooking again with a little extra liquid. Beauty of steam/pressure cooking. I'd do 5 minutes and put them up on a rack off the bottom.

The guy was having a bad day........prayers for BIL speedy recovery ....

You did the right thing, Tatauu. 💖 Please stay safe, though. There are so many wacky stressed out people out and about now. You never know who can snap. You can always tell a PF employee and they should handle.. I am praying for your BIL and hope he recovers quickly. 🙏🏻💖

I’d let the staff talk to him instead of approaching him. I hate confrontation so I avoid it whenever possible. As for your BIL, hope he recovers easily. Does he have symptoms? I’ll pray he will be ok. ❤️🙏

Sending positive energy for your BIL. That guy is a a()_*hole. I just clean before and after I use a work out machine in a gym! I pick my "waste of energy" battle, am I going into an argument telling a guy to clean after him, or do I just wipe it down myself every time. The last option is better option for my mental health! :)

I’m personally not ready to go to a gym for that very reason. But then I didn’t go to a workout gym before— for the same reasons

24 hour fitness has filed for bankruptcy — probably won’t really mean anything because they are mostly owned by hedge funds to begin with.

love that post lol

What a day! Wow! All my hopes for BIL.

Thanks everyone. I didn't push the issue with the guy just told the employee. BIL does have symptoms, he is sick as all get out.

I wipe them down before and after-even prior to covid. I don't care what other people do but if i saw their sweat on there, I'd be grossed out.

I'm sorry about your BIL, am sending prayers for him. As far as the gym experience, you can try an educate, but there are those who don't want the education. I just stay away from them, and clean my equipment before and after. Telling the PF employee is a good thing to do, but in these cases it is often hard for the employees too I try to work out when fewer people are there, a luxury you probably don't have.

Sounds like you had quite the day... Thankfully no repeats allowed. Praying for you BIL.

Oh that's such tough news about your BIL. Sending good thoughts his way. And to not wipe down the equipment at the gym is just ICKY.
