TIFU drinking 2 large Body Armors in 2 hours.

Last night before heading to the gym, I stopped at a gas station and bought 2, 28 oz. Body Armor Lytes (deal if you buy 2). Hit the cycles and drank one while at the gym. I was still thirsty, so I opened the second one and drank it at home.

As I got ready for bed, my stomach started feeling off, and my gut was churning. I darted to the toilet just in time for the torrent of diarrhea. I cleaned up and wondered what the hell caused that.

The next day, I went to the pharmacy where I work. I mentioned my bowel distress to the pharmacist, also my workout buddy. He immediately asked how much Body Armor I drank, and I said two big ones. "That's a lot of potassium. That's what's in a lot of bowel preps. You accidentally gave yourself a colon cleanse."

TL;DR I drank enough potassium from 2 Body Armors to clean out my colon.

TIFU By Fumbling My Gym Crush

I've never posted on Reddit before so apologies if anything is off. I (F) had a crush on a man at my gym for months.

It's hard to explain when someone's energy just hits different but his did. One day he started coming in with a woman. The day I saw her with him, he and I actually stared at each other from across the room for a while, and I turned and walked away because obviously gym rules - that's his girlfriend until I'm told otherwise. The eye contact continues and so does the proximity but I've dialed back completely because in my head, he has a girl and I am no home wrecker. Well, recently, on a Sunday, I was having a real shit day. I accidentally hurt my shoulder so my back day was all off, my body wasn't cooperating, the gym was packed - all I wanted to do w...

TIFU by sh*tting in the bushes at a high school

So I’m training for a local 10k race in a couple months. That’s about 6.2 miles. Not a long race but not a short one either. I’m making good progress and tinkering with what works for me on longer runs, how I can keep my body moving at an easy, consistent pace for about 70-80 minutes. I’ve been increasing the distance over the past few months, prioritizing getting the distance down before I work on pace. I train early mornings at a local high school track within walking distance of my house. They have public hours almost every morning from 6-8 am. It’s a very nice track with good lighting and ✨no public bathrooms✨. Because I’ve been focused on increasing distance I’m waking up earlier and earlier to get to the track and really hammer it out before I go home and shower for work. In turn, I’ve been drinking a little extra COFFEE most mornings get my body going. Til now this hasn’t been a problem, I don’t leave the house until my body takes care of business. I successfully dropped the ...
