Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

I had a dream last night that I started SL 5x5. I was at the Y and I was completely lost on what to do and what machine to use and NO ONE would help me, they all just continued doing their thing even though I looked like a lost child hiding the clothes rack.
This is my fear. I will get up the courage to start and will be totally lost and no one will help me, so I just take myself back to the cardio stuff because it's easy and I have yet to hurt myself on it.
I have anxiety over this.
Awwww I'm sorry you feel this way. Makes me wish I lived nearby to take you. 
I would REALLY love that! I don't think Mr. Mo would be okay with me moving to England just so I'll have a lifting partner.

I should be a plus size woman who rents my clothes online.

I had anxieties about it. So I've hired a trainer to show me how to use the equipment and give me a programme. Then he can bugger off and I'll go it alone for a few weeks, and then bring him back for adjustments.
This made me laugh.

And if she is doing that to impress someone else at the gym, then she definitely needs a new a beau. Either way, I wish she would either make an effort at getting stronger or stay out of my way while I make an effort at getting stronger.
I suppose if I wore false eyelashes, I might leave them on until I got home, but there is no way under the sun that I would try to lift with my hair falling fashionably in my eyes. And leaning on the squat rack isn't exercise.
My hair and make up turns into a sweaty mess at the gym! And I only have on makeup if I come from work! !
I confess I judge women running with their long hair down. I cannot stand to have any part of my hair touching my skin. And if I have makeup on I look like a raccoon when done.
Oh, my hair MUST be pulled up!
Hair up and completely off my back, even just a plain pony tail (my fair is pretty long) drives me BATTY!

@Italian_Buju on the cookies, it probably would be a little easier to use Pilsbury but I've never bought store bought cookie dough in my life, honestly, and it only takes a minute to mix anyway. Plus I don't think it'd ever stay good in the fridge long enough to use an entire package as I only have a cookie once a month or so, probably.
On the long hair at the gym thing, it baffles me too. My hair is somewhere between bra-band and waist-length and I need it in a ponytail at least, with a headband to keep it totally off my face. And I am NOT cute when I work out anyway as my face turns so red it's almost purple when I run. Strangers ask if I'm okay. I'm fine and I don't even feel super winded or anything, but I look on the brink of collapse, lol.
@FluffySandwich, you should check out the conservation efforts for rhinos going on at game parks in both eastern and southern Africa, it is astounding and really gives me hope. There are wardens who are literally rhino bodyguards who even stay with them all night, every night, to keep them safe from poachers. It's really incredible and the men who do it are just the best examples of humanity doing things right for the Earth. White rhinos might not be saved, I know, but there are others and there are a lot of people out there doing everything they can for them.
This! I went for a 8 mile run and a cute old man told me to stop and have some water... I was like thanks but I'm fine.... I kinda get jealous of anyone who looks like a goddess after working out, I'm a giant ball of sweaty, red grossness lol0 -
@Glinda1971 congrats! I'm so excited for you!
@Susieq_1994 welcome back! Hope you are doing well! Also I came to the realization today that there is a gourmet donut shop down the street named Susie Q's, please tell me you make donuts too! Lol0 -

Oh
Ok. No even for a couple of months until you get the swing of it? 0 -
This lack of quoting is annoying. I see women with long hair running with it down all the time. I completely don't get it. That would totally bug me.0

I hear ya! I can purchase pictures taken of me crossing the finish line of the 5K I ran Saturday. When I saw them, I was like, why would I want that.

I've been running the stairs in my apartment building (which is full of mostly lovely senior citizens) recently, and I can't tell you how often I meet someone shuffling down from the second or third floor in slippers who makes comments. They mean well and I don't mind as I know they're trying to be friendly but I think they're getting worried about me. I told one of the "popular kids" (there's a group of them who are tanned to shoe-leather who hang out together by the pool every day and who I think are the in-crowd with all the gossip...) the other day that I'm prepping for a trek in Peru so hopefully that spreads like wildfire so they don't have to keep popping into the stairwell to check on me, haha. Or worrying when they hear my hiking boots clomping up past the sixteenth floor over and over.0 -

Take me next time, I promise to be properly excited.

I know, I am beyond disgusted!
That is also not the only animal he has done that too, he has a whole album of photos of animals he has killed. Pathetic waste of human skin!!
I have been seeing so many pictures of that lion. I can't stand to look. It hurts me. The punishment should fit the crime, but I'm sure he won't get nearly enough of a punishment for this.
Sadly, this.
I don't think he'll get much of an 'official' punishment, but hopefully all the bad publicity will ruin his business. I do feel sorry for any employees he may have that suffer as a result though. But not for him.0 -

I'd probably annoy other guests with my excitement for a trip like that.
I'm glad it seems you're enjoying yourself!
I would be happy to. I won't be taking my niece and nephew again...I kind of feel it was a waste. I don't feel they really enjoyed it like I did. Oh well. I would love to go with someone who would have fun!0 -

We've all done that AT LEAST once(or five times...).
At least you didn't fall off the treadmill?
Sorry @pofoster21 I had to poke a little fun. Hopefully the fall was mostly injury free.
OH and Sgt. Sexy Pants was in a motorcycle accident on the way to work today!
He ran his bike into a guard rail. He's dirty but okay.
The motorcycle however.....uhm... Well let's just say he can't afford to take me on ANY dates for a while.
And OF COURSE he wouldn't tell me about it until the night's shift is almost over :grumble:
I am glad St. Sexy Pants is okay. He is blessed.
Two of my brothers wrecked the same motorcycle last summer and though the bike was fine the first time, the brother who bounced 200 Ft down the guard rail was in my trauma center for 8 days with four ribs remaining intact and a punctured lung. That was Memorial Day. On Independence Day, my oldest brother borrowed the bike because his was in the shop. A deer jumped the guardrail and the bike the deer and my brother skidded 200 yards down the interstate. Dead deer. Bike in pieces. Brother in my trauma center on a vent with collapsed lung, three broken ribs but only a crack in his pelvis because he lifts and his muscles held everything in place. (that's really why I lift now, it saved his life) I told bother #3 that if he got on his motorcycle on Labor Day weekend, I would break his ribs myself.
This is unbelievable. I do want a motorcycle but I am a bit afraid of them.0 -

The last mud run I did, I went back and purchased a few of the pictures of me on the course. My only reason for that is because it was a huge reminder of the size I don't want to be the next time I do one. I plan to do one this fall so I hope the pictures will be better.0 -
