Girliest Manly Girl:

I seriously think I am the most girliest manly girl you will ever meet. I love to shop. I love clothes. I love panties. I love high heels. I get manicures and pedicures pretty religiously. I do my makeup everyday. I fix my hair (halfway decent) even for the gym. I am a girly girl... true at heart.

But catch me in the gym, on a day I have taken my supplements (which is 99.99% of the time), and I think I could almost pass as a man. I tend to burp. I seem to produce a crazy amount of saliva, and I get dry mouth. It makes me need to constantly spit. I lift just as much weight as an average "boy" in the gym. True story, right there.

Yes, this is all a true story. After being out of the gym for over 2 weeks, I have come to realize that I am very tom-boyish and very much a girl. How? Simple. Because I love to get facials, massages, my makeup done, manicures, pedicures.. I love to shop. I am addicted to high heels (because of my heighth). Victoria Secret is some hot stuff. Bikinis rock my world. I have to get a new purse way too often. I love dresses.

So you get what I am trying to say, right? I am very much a girl. And have been for the last few weeks. It's just my personality. Just how I am. But today, I have realized that I am gross.

Guess how? Today it was back to the gym, back to the supplements, and back to kicking myself into shape. I walk into the gym pumped up from drinking my pre-workout. I walk in and see a "boy" working out. He is bench pressing with dumbbells. I take a look and he is only bench pressing 55 pounds in each hand, so that would be 110 pounds. I was working out chest and legs today, so needless to say I was going to bench press. Well, on an average day.. a day when I have been working out regularly, I can bench press the 110 pounds. That was goal back in the day, and I reached it. 

As I was working out, my mouth stayed dry. I realized I was producing very thick saliva that caused me to get nauseated and constantly needed to spit. What do I do? Go to the window and spit. (I know, Gross!) Next comes the nauseated feeling and gassy-ness (?sp). My supplements do that to me. What happens next? I let out a long, horrible, most grossest (whatever you want to call it) burp of my life.

What does Mr. Man do? He laughs at me and says, "Do you feel better?" Yes, I do. Thank you very much. It was obviously just what my body needed.

So that is how I got the title "Girliest Manly Girl" that you will ever meet. True or not true?

I really hope you don't view me differently now that I just shared something that is absolutely unladylike.

  1. Well you're definitely more girly than me! I've only had a pedicure twice in my life, and a manicure once (for my wedding). I could care less about purses, I like dressing cute and love summer dresses. But I'm super lazy about hair/make-up. annnnnnnnnnd I'm REALLY gross while working out, so no worries lady! =)

  2. Ha! This is a really cute post! I'm a little bit of a tom-boy myself, my friends always say I have the sense of humor of a 14 year old boy :)
