My Gym

Jump to Comments

Weighed myself this morning:

311 Pounds.  

9 Pounds in 10 days.

I’ve been hitting the gym really hard.  Lots of cardio and weight training.  Lots of it.

My trainer hands me my ass everytime we train but I love the kind of soreness that I feel with each workout.   Silly to say but it makes me more confident each day.  Knowing that I’m doing something wonderful for myself.

At first, I was very intimidated with the gym. If I saw people there I wanted to just keep driving.  I pretty much forced myself to go and held on to the belief that I was just as entitled to be there as anyone else.  Fit or fat.   The way I see it now, if I don’t go – I’m only doing myself a diservice.   Every day, I go -  except for Fridays.  

Danny, the guy that works the front desk – he cheers me on every time he see’s me.  High fives, “way to go”, “keep up the great work” and on one particular day when I almost talked myself out of going, he gave me a hug a soon as I walked into the gym. “You’re doing so wonderful” he said.    It’s amazing how small gestures like that can brighten someones day.  He definitely made mine.

I love Anytime Fitness.  I love how I feel there, I love what I’m doing for myself.  I love the people there. 

It’s my gym :D
