At some point of our lives, most of us have been forced to prioritize something other than training, in my case it was finals. The only problem is that finals were 2-3 months ago, and I haven´t returned to the gym until today. Embarassing!
Well, at least I´m back at it now: I signed a year long membership at a gym chain, meaning that I can work out at any of their gyms in the city I live. I´m moving out officially next week, or maybe the week after that, so I think that will help me focus on my goals more in terms of diet. Believe it or not, there comes a point when my family gets bored with me for only cooking chicken and brown rice.
Either way, I was going to tell you how I embarassed myself at my new gym today. I thought telling people who might relate would help me get over it. and maybe encourage newbies who are usually really intimidated by people like me at the gym to loosen up, because everyone fucks up once in a while.
So basically, I went to squat. and I couldn´t see a free sqat rack, so I thought: "Okay, no biggie, I don´t sqat that much weight, I´ll just lift it up." So I grabbed a barbell with a reasonable weight and went to lift it up onto my shoulders... and I couldn´t. Two months ago it wouldn´t have been a prooblem, but I´d lost more strenth that I´d anticipated and completely overestimated myself. I tried laughing it off, but I died on the inside.
At least after that the amount of jealous glares I got from other women there significantly reduced. Not that I understand why beautifully muscular women would be jealous of my asparagus-shaped body composition anyways.
Hope you´re all well and haven´t forgotten about me after my months of not blogging. (I honestly don´t know who I´m directing that to, because I doubt I have any regular readers at all at this point).
