I do.  I hate getting dressed to go to the gym. I hate driving to the gym. I hate the smell of a gym. I hate the beeping of the machines at the gym. I hate the &#8216;rush&#8217; you get. I hate the way my body wants to kick my ass for doing something that hurts me in the long run.<br \/>\nSo yes, I hate the gym.  I&#8217;m not going to stop going though and I will tell you the story of why I will continue to go to the gym even though I loathe it.<\/p>\n<p>Last weekend I drug everyone to the bridal show at the mall so we could pick up some books and ideas.
