ABCs of my Fledgling Gym Membership

Turning 25 in a few weeks so I figured I should try adulting. What's the adultiest thing I could think of? Taking care of myself. I've learned a lot about myself in the last 26 days, namely that I have become that annoying person that talks about the gym. 

After workout showers might be harder than the workout --my hair is too long for my tired arms
Bodies can do incredible things --sorry other people's bodies can do amazing things
Cute men exist at the gym
Damn I need to get contacts so I can see them
Everyone sweats --thank goodness it isn't just me
Footprints of said sweat is a real life thing unfortunately
Going to the gym not enough --I'm supposed to eat better too!
HOPE hold on pain ends, what a lovely sentiment 
I feel nauseous all the time, what is that!? 
Judging myself and my progress takes too much energy that I am not willing to waste
Kindhearted people do not grow up to be trainers
Looking good in my workout clothes is apparently important to me --hence my 7 outfits
My greatest victory in life was choosing the 'love it' instead of the 'gotta have it' at Cold Stone
National news should be given more focus in my life than the 15 minutes on the treadmill --subtitles are hard to read while running
Only public place where it is acceptable to walk into a bathroom wearing only socks
People are not in fact noticing anything about me certainly not the things I'm insecure about
Quarter life crisis of a gym membership --okay then
Remember a water bottle, walking to the drinking fountain doesn't count as part of the workout
Sometimes brushing my hair makes me want to cry so I throw it in a top bun 
Trainers: always a love/hate relationship --they love to hate me
Under no circumstances should a human forget fresh socks --there's just something unholy about        putting sweaty socks back on your feet
Veto power --a right my trainer does not give me
Why am I paying money for this?
Xenobiotic adj: relating to or denoting a substance that is foreign to the body or to an ecological system --that would be me at the gym
You haven't known pain and anguish until you've driven home in a stick shift after chest day 
Zero to hero is a completely acceptable and fully fleshed out goal
