Yesterday I went to the gym, did 30 minutes on an elliptical machine, 30 minutes on a stationary bike, lifted weights (legs only) for 15-20 minutes & Then did another 10 minutes on the treadmill to cool down.... The above photo was the product of that workout. No filter, no make up, hair thrown back out of my face... THAT'S how I work out.
I've finally gotten to the point where I (mostly) don't care who is in the gym, I've realized no one is really watching me, and if they are, I just fake it til I make it & pretend I'm confident in what I'm doing lol I've finally convinced myself I'm not going to the gym every day because my friends will be there, I'm not going because someone told me I have to.. I'm setting my alarm for 4:30am & getting out of bed at 5 (yes it takes me 30 minutes to wake up, don't judge) because I want to. Because I'm doing it for me, not for anyone else, for me.
You go girl! The hardest part is to start going to the gym. Also you should look into setting a bloglovin' account since there are rumors that GFC is going away as of June 1st.
ReplyDeleteThis is something that took me a long time to learn too. Really no one is watching you. I used to not run on the treadmill because I sucked at it and was too embarrassed to only run a couple minutes then stop. But that's how most people start running. No one just crawls out of bed without ever running before and whips out 10 miles. Using the weights in front of all the strong boys, that still makes me nervous because I feel like they're pros and I have no idea what I'm doing so they're obviously going to stand there and judge me. The smart thing to do would be to ask them if they know how to use a machine or ask if you are doing it right. Use their knowledge! Good luck girl! Keep working, keep sweating! I know you can do this!
