Success for me!!
So, I've been wanting to get into weight lifting but I've been.... embarrassed? nervous? scared?awkward? All of the above. I haven't weight lifted since high school.
Last Thursday, I went into the gym to look around so that when I did go in to lift I would know where the equipment would be. I walked in and saw the area I needed. There was one older gentlemen there using the equipment I needed. So I looked, I saw, I ran out. I mean, I ran out like a scared puppy. Haha!
Ok, cut to today. I told myself on Friday that no matter what or how I felt I would start lifting on Monday. So I read up on the workout I was planning on starting. I went through the videos of how to and everything. So this morning, I'm happy to say that I went into the gym and finished my workout completely!! I feel so proud of myself that I finally did it. This is a huge success for me! Just to start weight lifting. I went with my headphones in and ready to lift no matter what. I blocked out everything around me so I wouldn't run out like a scared puppy again. Lol! I'm so happy that I finally just did it! My legs are so sore from squatting. They feel like jelly and I'm walking funny because they feel like they're going to give out any second but I don't care!
If you're wanting to start weight lifting then do it! My fears and anxieties were all in my head. Don't let that stop you.
Just because I like seeing before and during photos In these posts, I'm including one of myself. I'm down 25lbs so far...
