Decided it was time to get out of the rudimentary basement gym at work that I’d been working out in and join a ‘real’ gym.  Treated myself to an early birthday present and joined Work Out World.  Tonight was my second time there, and my first time without my workout partner.  :( Needless to say, I felt like an alien in a foreign land when I walked in.

Decided to check out the ladies locker room, which is located in the Women Only section.  To be honest, I was SOOOOO uncomfortable being in the gym by myself, that I almost decided to stay in the Women Only section.  I would have been alone (no women were there tonight) and I wouldn’t have felt so noobish and isolated.

But…..this voice in the back of my mind (I do believe it was Ms Fitness!!!) said, "Get your ass out there! Don’t think about what anyone else thinks, just go do your thing! "  I knew if I stayed in that section of the gym, I would have ended up living there and not working out like I did in that basement. I really don’t want to be a cardio bunny who uses pretty colored weights!!
So I got my ass out there!!  Ended up staying for over an hour and a half. Did 100+ crunches on the ab machines (hell they have like 4-5 different ones!) and then 45 min (Hell Yeah!) of cardio.  By the time I was done, the gym was empty.  LoL, so I got to walk around, check out all the machines I’ve never seen before, and pretty much do my own thing.

Fern - thanks for motivating me to get my ass out there!

Geek - I missed the hell out of you today!!!  I need you there!!
