Let's Be Real #7

Looking at my news feed, i've seen some pretty ridiculous stuff. When I say ridiculous, i'm not talking about my dumb friends that post pictures of their cat in a costume (although, that is pretty ridiculous). The one that is bothering me the most right now is the folks that post something EVERY SINGLE TIME they sweat. Going to the gym. Taking a kickboxing class. Taking a picture in workout attire. Whatever. I think it's fantastic that people are actually working out and getting/staying healthy, I really do. It doesn't bother me when someone posts something like "Trying Pilates for the first time" or "Didn't realize how intense Zumba really is, glad I survived my first class!" or even "Just maxed out on the bench press, set a new PR today" because those are mini-milestones. I don't even mind hearing about what new workout supplement you tried. What does annoy me is the people that think that every form of physical activity is noteworthy and post it on Facebook. Do I comment on such posts telling people that their posts are redundant and insignificant to my life? No, that's rude and people have the right to post what they want. In my mind, it equates to this; I brush my teeth everyday but I don't make a new status or tweet about it because taking care of myself is just expected. You want a pat on the back for doing something the rest of us  (that care about our health and appearance) do anyway? Nope. I'm not gonna offer you a cookie either. Let's be real; no one cares that you went to the gym today. You're filling my news feed with foolishness and that space could be used for a hilarious new NBA Meme or a post from Inside The Mind of a Ghetto Genius  (which is pretty much my favorite blog ever). Besides, you might drop your phone while you're on the treadmill posting about your epic workout that no one cares about. Just sayin.
