I Went to the gym last night with my twin sister & her boyfriend :) I don't get to go very often with her maybe a few time's a week, but moments we had last night are moment's I'm going to cherish forever! I'm trying to make an effort to at least go to the gym Monday to Thursday's Friday- Off Then Choosing a day during the weekend :) I wish my gym was open 24/7 or at least had later hours on the weekend, My weekends get so crammed full of things, Groceries, etc that usually we don't finish until later in the evening and the gym closes at 8, Anyway back to the original story,
Gym was PACKED last night more then i'v ever seen it, our gym is quite a large gym, so once you get to the gym your typically going to see a pile of cars and have a hard time finding parking, well last night was unbelievable! Parking Lot was packed, People where parking on the road, down the road. I instantly began to panic, I don't like it when its over crowded, found parking and made our way in,"Main" Section of the gym SUPER packed, more then iv ever seen it before, Head to the changing rooms peek in the womens section, Not one Machien available, Guess what that means? Yah.. Monica has to go work out in the "Main Section" of the gym, Well.. that makes me nervous thinking about it.. I was a wreck, I had 2 Options, Leave or suck it up, What did i do? I sucked it up and worked my ass off in the Main section of the gym.. I was soo worried about the amount of people & so strung up in the deep conversation that my sister and I had, that we ended up doing a 40 min work out on the Cross ramp, Its kinda like the Ellipctile, but has an incline.
Moral to my story: I Sucked it up I did, even tho I was a nervous wreck, once we started talking having this deep conversation,I forgot where I was & at the same time had an amazing work out!!
Week 2 of the Spring Chick Challenge is going Great, I feel on fire!! Weigh in will be Wednesday as per usual :) Hope your week is going great, Im off to go with a friend to look at wedding dresses (for her) then we are heading to the gym! Have a great day friends <3!

Awesome workout! It's great when something so dreaded turns into something fun...makes it seem like less of a chore!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got such a great workout. I just joined a new gym... I'm nervous excited! Keep up. Can't wait to hear about your progress on Wednesday!!
ReplyDeleteI had put off running on the treadmill for so long for this very reason. I NEVER like working out when the gym is packed. Unfortunately my trainer can only meet when the after-work rush starts coming in.The past weeks haven't been quite as bad, but now all the "resolutioners" are making the gym packed, which isn't a bad thing, it just makes it tough to find machines to use and makes it uncomfortable for people like me who don't do well in crowds.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, yesterday which was the busiest I have ever seen my gym, and the only treadmill I could find was sandwiched between these two gorgeous pro runners. I was running for 2 minutes at a time, huffing and puffing, and these two women were running 30 minutes straight. I felt really self-conscious the entire time. But I pushed through that feeling knowing that things will only get better from here and one day I'll be the one running 30 minutes at a time. So you did awesome work!!
Glad 2 hear the packed gym event went well. Also love how you are in the zone. Have a great rest of your week.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fantastic job! Leaving or sucking it up - and you made the right choice! GOOD FOR YOU!!

ReplyDeleteI'm always self conscious at the gym too but you're totally right - theres no reason to be! I know I certainly don't give a darn about what the other people are doing. Glad to hear you got over your fear, you worked your BUTT off and you had a great night with your sister. Talk about a triple threat! Keep it up girl xx
