What's In Your Gym Bag? (Page 2)

ALL hair elastics now reside on my hairbrush handle or on the gear stick of my car.  This solution works for me.  My daughter's hair elastics however are all over the place....Everywhere.

lol, true that.

2 pairs of goggles, a lock, a towel, chapstick, shampoo, lotion, ibuprofen, weight lifting gloves, water bottle, some type of snack, I-pod and various other things depending on the workout I am doing that day.

Hair elastics do multiply. I'm shocked I only had 2 elastics in my bag, and 3 bobby pins! I suppose there's one or two everywhere, I just keep transferring them around.

I'm pleasantly happy at how much stuff people have in their bags. And yeah, sorry about the 15 minute video. i do go on. In case you don't have 15 minutes to see my train wreck of a tote bag here are its former contents:

• small waterproof bag with shower flip flips
• plastic bag with gym towel, bathing suit and good goggles (not in a case!)
• expensive sunglasses, not in a case!
• water bottle
• running tights
• wallet
• phone, not in a case!
• tangled earbuds
• iPod shuffle
• leaky old swim goggles
• two swim caps
• swim goggle anti fog stuff
• baby powder (for swim caps)
• lock that I rarely use, even though all my valuables are in the dang bag
• empty bottle (!) of ineffective hippie swimmer's shampoo
• three bobby pins not in a case, just ready to scratch phone, goggles and sunglasses
• Pocket Rocket - it's the name of the lipgloss!!
• a bunch of wrinkly papers/laminated/ziploc bag swim workouts
• two hair elastics

In the cosmetics bag in the tote bag:

• good swimming shampoo!
• conditioner
• eye makeup remover
• sunscreen
• empty tube of tinted moisturizer/sunscreen
• lip balm
• cotton swabs
• body cream (it smells like the caribbean!)
• another thing of body cream
• an empty sample tube of shampoo
• facial cleanser
• a tampon case that I use to keep bobby pins and hair elastics
• visine
• lemon butter cuticle cream
• Abreva
• sample of body lotion (geeez why do I have so many body lotions?!)

This is why my video was 15 minutes long. I think my bag is now a couple pounds lighter!

flip flops that have to be about 6 years old....but I won't get rid of them.  

a bag of shower supplies: face wash, body wash, shampoo & conditioner, deodorant, toothbrush (a new one even!), toothpaste, loofa.

towels for hair and body

notebook with various workouts

hairbrush, change of clothes for post swim

blow dryer goes in & out with the day.

My swim bag is another matter:  fins, pull buoy, paddles, 3 0r 4 pair of goggles and caps.....

Closet floor?  One is covered with half a dozen pair of running shoes (that's the one in the bathroom that gets the gym and swim bags tossed on them)  My bedroom closet floor has bike shorts and jerseys in one corner, run shorts/ sports bras and run tights/ capris in another spot....a shelf of tee shirts separated by long sleeve/ short sleeve  cotton vs technical shirt.  Sweat shirts and various gym pants/ yoga pants.

Mine is pretty low-maintenance compared to some of these answers! The joy of only being a 'crossfitter' and not a triathlete.  

• CFDB (that's crossfitdouchebag) Rx jump rope
• knee high socks
• Vibrams
• New Balance minimus (depends on the workout, what shoes I'll wear)
• water 
• headband
• inhaler if I remember it.

I have a separate swim bag for the days I swim for recovery. It's very low maintenance!

• swimsuit
• towel
• flip flops
• goggles
• cap

I've got all the cool stuff -

• Timex Ironman watch
• wrist straps (weight lifting)
• towel (wet)
• tri shorts (damp)
• regular shorts (damp)
• tank top (damp)
• 2 pair of goggles
• Master lock w/key
• loose change
• gym pass
• Ipod Shuffle w/headphones
• faded receipt
• socks

Hmmmm can I get a breeding pair as well.  Mine keep disappearing or getting stretched out!

On any given day I can use my gym bag as a source of available food.... however, that also means that I often find soft apples and squishy brown banana's that have sunk to the bottom and been forgotten about :/

I also can usually find at least 3 inhalers (if I'm lucky, one or two are usable)... though right now there is none. 

Other items are found at random and often related to when I last cleaned it out... right now you can also find a can of mace, a tube of really sweet smelly hand lotion, and a bottle of body spray w/ a broken squirter.

Perhaps it's time I clean out my bag again.  :/

Went swimming this morning and figured I should get my run out of the way while still at the gym.

I can tell you what was NOT in my bag today. My shirt! Damn you people for causing me to clean out my bag, it's all your fault.

Ha! I cleaned out my bag too.

Last week I forgot my slippers. I was short on time, so had to get my gear on before work ended so I can hit up the bank real quick before MTB training. There I was in bike shorts, a cut up t-shirt, and cute black heels, with a thick, smelly layer of sunscreen on. Sweet lady behind me didn't know what to think, especially with me holding a bronze, blinged out purse to pull the look together.
