I truly did not do much but the point was getting myself to the gym and not sitting on my couch all night which would have totally happened. It was not as bad as I thought it would be. I started walking on the treadmill and then doing short distances of running until I thought my back was in to much pain. I did the treadmill for like 40 ish minutes and then went to the step stairs and did that for about six minutes. Oh my god I thought my calves were going to fall off. Like holy crap.
I am not really sure if I was doing it right and by the looks of those around me I am about 90 percent sure I was doing it very very wrong. ha-ha oh well today I plan on looking up how to use the weight machines so that I can do a bit of weights too.
I think the hardest part about going to the gym for me was I felt like I may be being judged. I have always struggled with what other people think of me. I know that is something that shouldn't bother me but it does and I am afraid to feel like I am being made fun of again.
However I am pushing past this fear just by going to the gym. I am going to do whats best for me and it will work. I just have to be strong and only think of what I think about myself for that short period of time that I am at the gym.
The gym can be a very frightening place for many people because they fear of many things. I think if you are someone that fears going to the gym it is probably really important for you to go to the gym. If you continue to just let your fears control you, you have gone no where. Control yourself and don't let a silly fear control who you want to be. Go to the gym. I promise you will realize its not as bad as you thought it was going to be.
As a result of working out today I woke up on time and am in a great great mood. I am no where near my goal but today I made it through. That is what is important to me right now.
