Back to the Gym

As I've started the gym again for the umpteenth time, I thought I'd look back at my history through my tweets. With the help of Chat GPT, I have translated some of them into Spanish (so don't blame me if you find mistakes). I would like you to translate them back into English and let's compare them to the original tweets. If you click on the red expression, you'll see the original tweet. You can reply to some in Twitter.

  1. Todavía estoy lleno después de la comida de hoy. De verdad tengo que ponerme a dieta y volver al gimnasio. Mi barriga solo crece y crece…
  2. No he ido al gimnasio en unos 4 años, pero hoy superé mi reticencia y me apunté otra vez. Estoy orgulloso de mí.
  3. Conseguí una buena oferta para el gimnasio. Incluso hay una pista de atletismo. Es interesante observar la diferente etiqueta del gimnasio aquí. http://t.co/bdMliptS 
  4. Del 8% al 21% de IVA: ir al gimnasio ahora es un lujo. Aun así, nos mantendremos en forma caminando a todas partes después de la subida de tarifas y del precio de la gasolina.
  5. 1/2 De vuelta al gimnasio hoy. Primera vez en dos meses. No fue un buen comienzo: me quedé sin aliento en la bici y me mareé haciendo pesas.
  6. 2/2 Difícil volver a la rutina. Sentí que tenía que hacer un esfuerzo, porque he estado pagando (+21% de IVA) sin ir.
  7. En lugar de ir al gimnasio, me compré unas cervezas, me quité los zapatos y ahora estoy relajado/a en el sofá. El gimnasio puede esperar.
  8. A pesar de no haber dormido mucho, logré ir al gym. Un lunes por la mañana… ¿de dónde saqué la energía? Deben ser mis zapatillas nuevas.
  9. Ya llevo tres días seguidos corriendo. Incluso estoy pensando en apuntarme otra vez al gimnasio. A veces me sorprendo a mí mismo.
  10. Hace calor, pero me voy al gimnasio a sudar. Llevo casi cuatro semanas sin ir.
  11. Después de dos semanas procrastinando por la depresión postvacacional (+ otras seis semanas sin ir), logré volver al gimnasio. ¡Bravo yo!
  12. Soy más disciplinado/a que hace cinco años. Casi todos los días o salgo a correr o voy al gimnasio. Además, llevo tres semanas sin beber.
  13. Me siento culpable. Me puse la ropa del gimnasio y luego me eché una siesta. Me levanté. Lo pensé. Ganó la cerveza.

Hi Graham,

1.- You mustn´t go on a diet, but what you have to do is to live healthy. That is, you must eat fruit and vegetables mainly, eggs, cheese, some proteins especially from fish and drink water. You must do several meals in the day and no overeating.

2.- I am not going to the gym now because I have a lot of soreness. I hope to go in the future when I had overcome my pain.

3.- I had a bargain to go to the gym and I am going to give it my cousin who is very fat person. He always is thinking in eat hamburgers.

4.- I agree. You can fit walking and running marathon. It´s not necessary to go to the gym. Still, you can do Swedish gymnastics too, like we did it at the former school.

5.- Doing weights and doing exercise bike must be very boring. I would prefer to count clouds that doing weights. Then, I won´t get dizzy.

6.- Going back to the routine is the best situation for me. I would have to make a big effort to go to the gym.

7.- You had a great idea, the best thing. I guess that you would feel very well. It doesn´t matter if you would have to pay 21% or more VAT for this relaxing. Instead of you didn´t fit, I suppose you enjoyed.

8.- I´m sure that the reason of your stroke of energy were trainers. Always it happens, the most important thing are trainers, despite you are in trouble you must trust in your trainers because they will get out of a hole.

9.- If you had been jogging three days in a row, you must stop because doing sport is necessary to maintain your health but not to break a record. Apart from you want to enjoy doing sport.

10.- Do you sweet at the gym because you make an effort or by reason of hot? If this is by the second cause you must go to another gym with air conditioner.

11.- There are people who do sport on holiday. If you are lucky to enjoying holiday in the countryside, you can do sport in this place. In this way, you wouldn´t lose time holiday and another 6 weeks. It will be very healthy. I used to do sport on holiday in my village. It´s very nice.

12.- I either go jogging or go to the gym, it´s better go to jogging than go to the gym, in my opinión. If I jogging, I can breathe fresh air and if I go to the gym, I can sweet more, therefore, I prefer to go joggin.

13.- Sometimes, there are children who put on their football gear and they sit down on the sofa watching TV. They watch the match of Real Madrid, instead of going to the field of Real Madrid and it´s the same for them.

See you.
