Trying to convince myself to go to the gym today
boodle boy
I've been way off the past couple weeks
boodle boy
it partially the weather (it's been dark and bitter cold and that really makes it hard )
boodle boy
and partially I can't make it click with my new gym
boodle boy
its SO different than what I'm used to
𝗦𝗔𝗟𝗩𝗘𝗢—
you will feel better after you go!! you should!
𝗦𝗔𝗟𝗩𝗘𝗢—
but i get not vibing with a place either
boodle boy
and also very visible layoutwise. I feel like entire gym can see me and while INTELLECTUALLY I KNOW LITERALLY 0 PEOPLE ARE LOOKING OR THINKING "DAMN THAT GIRL CANT SQUAT SHIT"
boodle boy
but my head is still thinking it
boodle boy
it's very silly...its objectively a friendlier, better atmosphere than my last gym which was bro central
boodle boy
but I'm used to bro central. bro central is where I learned to weight lift
boodle boy

: this is true. once I rip the bandaid off I will feel good
hemogoblin
oooh yeah it's so easy to get self-conscious
hemogoblin
but yeah you should go!
boodle boy
I feel terrible NOT going. Like, physically and emotionally it's a very important part of my day to day and not going regularly has been detrimental

tbf i did a lot of my early weight training in a MANLY MAN gym that was like, a fucking underground bunker with a boxing ring lmao
𝗦𝗔𝗟𝗩𝗘𝗢—
and i preferred that by far to the YMCA
boodle boy
My drawing arm weird carpal/tendonitis is flaring up badly, and that it always a sign I'm not exercising enough. it's pretty under control when I'm lifting at least 3 times a week

miserable handshake.... i've been trying to get back on top of exercise but it is SO fucking hard when the weather is cold (cold by. georgia standards in my case but STILL)
boodle boy

: LMAO yeah. this gym is like, open warehouse style, power lifting focused and the owners are like, ex military. but its somehow was less bro-y than my last gym which was super budget
boodle boy
I think I could really get to like it! I want to do more powrlifting adjacent stuff and the equipment was soooo limited at my old one. (two squat racks in the whole place?)
boodle boy
just gotta....go
boodle boy
Admittedly the weather has been enabling me. nothing says "it's okay not to go" like a a 20° windchill
boodle boy
Spring is coming up fast though 
boodle boy
W(erewolf)ILF
: it's really the worst, fighting the weather. I'm so good about it when it's nice and I dont have to think about how many layers of clothing I need
W(erewolf)ILF
RIGHT.... i literally. was planning to start my daily jog again this morning. then the instant i wasn't wrapped in blankets i was like. "..........no i'm not going outside i think"
W(erewolf)ILF
but LIKE YOU SAID.... SPRING SOON
boodle boy
SOON...
boodle boy
I think maybe something I can do is onyl allow myself to go to my fave coffee shop on gym days
boodle boy
Because I like to go there and it will incentivize me if i only let myself go hang there on days when i am already oit and have gone to the gym
