I have this gym bag and though I pack it full I still need stuff I forgot. What do you guys put in there to help you get to the gym and thru the workouts?

I have, soap, towel, swimsuit, extra clothes, headphones, lock, gym badge, money, licence, makeup, hair ties, comb, brush, water, power bars, etc.

Seems like there is other stuff I could pack that i need when I get there but I am so on a high when I leave the gym I dont remember to think of it. I am hooked on working out now. I do it 5 times a week.

What are some great things you guys pack in there?

Thanks, and could you please list the other boards so I can go to them? I really need support for my new healthy lifestyle!

Oh another thing I did was is dump two girlfriends who were negative and both were very unhealthy. One smoked and the other one overate terribly. They were both difficult people. I knew one for 22 years and the other one for 10 years. Never did we even have productive positve conversations even. ONe told me to have an affair! ( I love my husband)

OK, so what I am getting at is this. After I dumped these negative friends, I started having and taking the time to work out with my one "positive". healthy minded, girlfriend.

MY WHOLE LIFE CHANGED!

The time I spent putting up with these whining negative complainer friends on the phone an doing things I did not want to do with them I now spend working out, planning healthy meals for me and my husband, and being with fun healthy people. I am meeting nice happy healthy folks now!

Toxic friends can be a real drag on your life. But I did not know what a drag until I got away from them!

i remembered something else i keep in my gym bag - plastic shopping bags (like from the grocery store) for wet clothes, bathing suits, etc. i try to keep a couple in my bags at all times, though sometimes i run out.

Oh, I was going to say most of us were Gym Rats first, here on this board and then became instructors. I'm sure if it weren't for the people on this board, I'd still be sitting here saying, "Maybe one day
