I'm Mary, the girl behind, Eat Drink & Be Mary. I'm a girl in her twenties who recently graduated college, and am now learning to love long distance. A coffee loving, DIY crafting, recipe trying, legging wearing, Instagram obsessed, aspiring teacher and Christian. You can often find me raving about a recipe I recently tried, an outfit I got a great deal on, or just a hodge podge of what's on my mind lately. Don't forget to Eat, Drink & be "Merry" y'all...
I'm so excited to be taking over for Michelle today, especially because she's off honeymooning with her Groom. Congrats again girl! One thing I think of when I think of Michelle is how the girl loves to workout. So today I'm hear to talk about just that.

Often I think that people join gyms because of the name. Golds Gym? I know plenty of people that work out there; maybe if I signup I'll instantly look like them. Probably not.
Living in a small town there are not many choices for "big name" gyms, in fact there are zero Golds Gyms. So my family and I attend a local gym. And I just love that little gym. I have nothing against big name gyms, they serve the same purpose (overall), I just prefer my small gym and have found that there are definitely some perks...
One | Everyone is encouraging.
Two | Big or small it's still a place for me to sweat it all out and get my fitness on.
Three | No one there to see me when I bust a move on the elliptical. Because sometimes pandora knows exactly what I need to here and I can't resist dancing to my favorite jams.
Four | Hardly ever anyone in the locker rooms to see me change.
Five | No randos checking my spandex-wearing-self out when I'm sweating my booty off on the elliptical.
Six | I can watch whatever I want on the TV (HGTV) without worrying if anyone else wants to watch it.
Seven | Along with # six, I can change the radio to whatever station I want in the weight room, and don't have to worry if anyone is judging me for jamming out to 90's music while getting my workout on.
Eight | Only once have I not been able to get on the machine that I wanted.
Nine | No one there to see me take awkward selfies and snap chats -- you know for proof that I went to the gym.

Can you relate to my small gym wins, did I miss anything? Do you attend a larger gym, what are some of those perks? Do you take selfies while at the gym; I can't imagine that I'm the only one who does this! I hope to see y'all in my part of the interwebs @ Eat Drink & be Mary or (if bloggin' aint your thanng) keep up with me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Pinterest.
