So I got to the gym at about 9:45am. Left about 10:15. It was so intimidating. The machines, the room the whole place. Why is it that when we are armed and ready to start something new our brain throws in a little something called, "fear".
I started by handing the young man at the counter my gym pass, "did you log in?" Uh, no, I did'nt even know I had to log in. After that I went to my confort place, the treadmil. I know how to use that. How hard can it be? Climb on, start the machine, start walking. Wrong. First when I got on the machine, I tripped. Then I thought push the button to start. So I pushed, then I wanted to listen to my music on my blackberry plugged it in and no music. Why? I don't know. I started to fumble with the cord to see if there was a logical reason why it was not working. Nothing. I will just walk without the music. As I started to take the earphones off, the machine had me walking at a normal pace and my arms were going from one side to the other. Then I lifted my arm to take the earphones off, got my hair cought on the earphones!
Enough walking, so I stopped the machine went over to where the weights were and started to look for a weight and bench I could use. The had them all over the place. Machine after machine after machine. I just want to do my workout plan. I don't want to sign up with your personal trainer, I just want to use the plan. But, how do the machines work? I guess I have to ask tomorrow. Tomorrow? I have to go through this again? Yes! I can't let intimidation of starting something new scare me off. So, tomorrow I will try it again. Wish me luck! I am really going to need it.
