IJWTS- My sister and her fiance are awesome. Tonight they asked if I want a V-Day present. Of course I said, "yes!" I'm just thrilled they asked, especially since I'm pretty much the only one I know (locally) who isn't with someone right now. It's not that I'm a gifts person, but I like feeling included in the holiday.
I shouldn't be surprised, though. My sister and I would buy each other a V-day gift for years, regardless of our dating status, so that we wouldn't feel left out.

Get some home weights and start there, when you feel more comfortable then you can hit the gym!
Heck, I've almost foregone the Gym altogether with all the weights and workouts I do at home now; I was going there to do stuff I already had the ability to do at home, it seemed redundant to be there and a waste of money really... I motivate myself and sometimes my workout buddies aren't even going to the gym on a regular basis with me.

IJWTS Wow, it has been a while since I've been here![]()
IJWTS it is so difficult not feeling intimidated by others when I go to the gym. The mirror walls do not help either. Blast those mirrored walls!![]()
Welcome back.
I say to myself that it isn't what I look like or what I'm lifting compared to others that matters; what matters is that I'm there, because even if I wanted to have a body like some of the other guys, I couldn't do it without being there anyway. Not that I'm trying, I have better things to do than be at the gym four days a week worshipping physical appearance.
IJWTS-
Time to go pee!
IJWTS - I hate that song, Zilam! and now its stuck in my head! curses!
