I should shower.
Seriously.
I just got home from working out. I used to be able to come home from the gym and hang out, catch up on some Will and Grace reruns, internally wrestle wanting to eat something good and void out all of my hard work of putting on an athletic bra (that- in itself- is a workout). As soon as the sweat patches dried from underneath my boobs, I was good. Deodorant works- well, it used to. I mean, I shower, eventually. But it was nothing pressing.
Maybe after a nap.
Apparently, there’s another reason I can add to my list of why aging can suck my ass.
During my 3 mile step climb at the gym, I turned into a TSA bomb-sniffing dog, wondering where the hell that smell was coming from. Body odor. It smelled like a big fat onion. In my mind, I blamed the dude on the treadmill next to me- he had a “Craw-fish Fry” t- shirt on… it seemed a logical conclusion. However, the smell followed me through my circuits and into my car and the verdict was clear- my sweat stinks. FUCK. First my bladder control, then my sex drive, NOW THIS?
The universe is tormenting me.
Come on, this… is just cruel…
What was wrong with “Depends”? Isn’t this market a bit saturated- I totally meant that pun! Next they’ll be naming kegels after me. And crazy lonely old ladies that live with 48 cats.
Being fat and old bites and, now, it stinks, too. And so do I.
You aren’t the only one who really smells after a workout. I absolutely have to shower relatively soon after because I just can’t stand it. That means you did good.
Getting smelly is a sure sign of a good workout. lol
what sucks for me is i smell worse than my husband. i swear he can go without deodorant. freak.
I’ve noticed some strange odors, too. Usually when I am alone. I guess that means it’s me.
Yea, strange odors emit from my house too… sometimes its me, sometimes its one of my smelly children. I keep having to remind myself to shower and then most of the time I get to work and realize I totally forgot deodorant. Ugh
Don’t people usually smell worse to themselves than they do to others? Well, at least that’s what I keep telling myself.
Hello – My name is Kim and I am just now going through the business cards I got at BlogHer ‘09. Yeah.
Last year I had an incident where I was at the gym that went a lot like what you are describing, only I was with a trainer and so that person was really near me the whole time AND wouldn’t buy it if I wanted to just leave. UGH. I realized later that I had accidentally packed an already-worn gym shirt. BLEAH.
Nice to meet you, I like your blog!
