Hello My Dear Darling Friends!

This is my 2nd week of going to the gym and I am enjoying it, but I have also been hit with pretty severe anxiety every time I get ready to go.  There were even a couple of times that I sat in the parking lot, a nervous wreck, and almost drove home.  Thankfully I was able to txt a friend and commit to going in.  This week has been no different, in fact, it almost feels like my nervousness has gone up.  Yesterday it was so intense that I decided to just hide out upstairs and do my workout there.

Today I was hoping to hide out again, but upstairs was already busy so I headed down to the free weights and made it a point to zone out (stretching and flailing my arms awkwardly between sets.)

I was a sweaty mess, but I made it through!  After that I walked on the stairmaster for 35 minutes at Level 7.  It just about killed me, but I got through that one too!
