i went to three separate nutrition and fitness places today in hopes of finding a fitness journal.
yeah, something as benign as a journal has these guys absolutely stymied. you'd think that would be something you'd see in a store, wouldnt you? like, pretty well every fitness magazine or on line journal tells you to monitor your progress, track your reps and sets, write down your food, yet nothing seems to be available here. i dont get why not.
of course i can find stuff on line, but should i have to? i'd like to be able to see what's inside of the damned thing and whether i'm paying for ads inside or if the layout is nice, not going by guess and by golly.
one of the guys told me that he's never seen something like a fitness journal at gnc. i find that hard to believe, considering i found one for less than $12 on their website. maybe he hasnt worked there that long? judging from the size of his biceps (which were irregularly large, if you can read between the lines), he likely has come across something like that in his time spent in the gym. another guy at a fitness store with a gut bigger than a 40yr old beer drinker {i wonder when he'd last seen the inside of a gym, which i know is uber judgy, but c'mon.}, told me that he uses excel to track everything. great in theory, but i'm not going to drag my fucking computer to the gym, now am i? i want something that will fit inside my gym bag, something i can write in on the fly, add to, and check as a reference when i'm there.
the last place i went was popeyes, which i have to say impresses me, mostly because of their on-line reference section which includes journal templates and workout suggestions. i was incredibly amazed and pleased to see those yesterday when i was looking for a journal. the guy there looked the part of a fitness store operator (and was cute, too), and suggested every place i went to. when i commented on how impressed i was about their website and journal templates, he even added his two cents about it, while apologizing for not having something like that in stock. i was more impressed with popeyes...not just because the dude was cute...i think i'm already predisposed to being partial to them based solely on the freebies offered on their website.
so now i'm back at square one. i'm going to look on line for a journal, one that i can "open" and see what's inside, and go from there. yes, i very well could look at our shitty assed coles in the mall, but i really dont want to waste any more time with this...
very annoying.
