I did it! I met my friend last night after work and we signed up to join the gym. It was 5pm and there were a ton of people there. I didn't like that. It was noisy, smelly, sweaty and crowded. I asked the nice lady (who was maybe, may-be 18) what the busiest times were and she said between 4-6pm. Easy enough. My friend said she would like to avoid those hours as well because she likes to go when it is quieter and less crowded.
So did we work out? Nope. Signed up, gave them our money and left. She said she would probably go back later that evening and if she did she would text me. Sure enough that is what she did.
When I walked in the nice girl who signed us up said "Good for you for coming back tonight". She didn't say it in a mean way, she said it sincerely. That felt good. I may have another cheerleader. My friend was at the treadmill so I joined her there, used a weight machine for our arms (and the many muscles that are hiding there) and finished on the bike. 8:20-9pm Good job. We made plans for today and we did another 40 minutes. Good job. Having a work out buddy (ok someone to talk to) really does help pass the time. I will go this weekend by myself and bring my i pod.
I know that you want to know if anyone pointed or laughed. The answer would be "no". However I felt like an oaf when I was on the treadmill and this older
(like 70) guy walked on the treadmill then kicked it up to a fast run.
But you know what? That isn't my goal so I will say "you go old dude and I will just keep walking".
+11 day
-5 weight (I think twice a week would be wise -Thursday and Sunday)
