Thanks a lot, that's great advice. :smile:

Yeee wish I could say the same but I am definitely NOT a tofu fan! Weird I know coming from a veggie n all.

Ok I will have to check that out now that I know about it, thanks :)

I also *love* me some soy milk prefferably vanilla, and I haven't had hummus in a while which is odd I guess I forgot about it haha, so yea I should definitely start eating that again, and you're right it is a great protein source! Thanks

Haha no problem. Part of the reason I posted this was I hoped there would be other ppl out there who could relate and also get advice. Good luck at ur work gym. :)

Stepping into that room could just be the scariest part. I can definitely agree with u on that, and pretending not to care I'm the only girl in the room sounds pretty helpful. Mind over matter! Thanks for the tips

Heya, I actually did have a few sessions with a personal trainer there and I feel like that helped to show me what kinda exercises I need to implement into my routine and how to do them properly but I still have the same nerves about going in there unfortunately. Hopefully I can get to that same place where ur at right now…

Good point, you are so right! Keeping this in mind might just be enough to help me get over this issue. Thanks for that.

I also feel like I'm a pretty shy/nervous person but I might just try this baby steps approach. Whatever works right!

Good to know I'm not the only one who's ever felt this way! And about your suggestions I work out better alone I find, I feel like I get more done that way and I almost always have my music with me but the whole writing down exercises on paper is definitely something I will try out. Thanks for the tips. :)

You know what I actually used to go to this women's gym called Fitness One a few years ago but honestly maybe this is part of the problem because I was so used to working out in a women's only a facility now I'm not as comfortable in a co-ed one :-\ Plus the gym I go to at my school is free so it seems like a waste to pay…

This is comforting to know and for sure something to think about. However, I highly doubt I would strike up a conversation with any of em haha too shy for any of that. I definitely agree with you about not letting intimidation keep me from trying new things. Deff trying to work on this, thanks for the motivation!
