My Accomplishment : )

So yay and kudos for me :bigsmile: I went to the gym. I've been so afraid for so long, and today I finally said enough and went. It actually wasn't that bad, I had no embarrassing horrible moments and everything went well. The reason I think I was so freaked out is because it's my school's gym and I had this inner picture of walking in and having a bunch of skinny/perfect people staring at me like I'm a freak. I know, I'm dumb. I walked/jogged on the treadmill, used the recumbent bike, and the elliptical machine. So that's my achievement, removing one very large roadblock for myself.

P.S.......I think I'm going back tomorrow

Good for you!

I'm so used to working out 6 days a week that I'm not nice to people if I have to miss my days at the gym.
