I haven't been to a gym in ages. After Christmas, I decided that I really needed to lose a few kilos and get fitter. So I joined my local David Lloyd club and I have so far been going three times a week for the past three weeks. I was very nervous at first. The people, the noise, the light, the temperature all make me anxious. I have now learnt to try and zone out with my noise-cancelling earbuds and it seems to be working. I hope to commit to going three times a week at least because the membership is expensive.
buy weights, workout at home... much cheaper... i never understand why people pay like hundreds a month on recurring gym membership to use communal weights that you have to wait for and have to put up with others in the gym and have to do it when you go, when you instead can buy dumbells for £20 and a bar bell set for another £40 and then thats all for price and you can use them at home whenever you want, more than the gym, less than the gym, spaced out over the entire day to meet your needs or laziness rather than being forced to only use them all at once when you go out to a gym. gyms dont make sense to me, they are illogical when you can buy weights cheaper than membership and have greater use of them and more flexible time with them all without the anxiety of going to a place full of egocentric people that you know will be constantly judging each other.

ah food is probably where i fail at as i tend to ignore that part, but i noticed eating my mums big foods which are probably more nutritious, is actually worse for my waist line than eating the usual processed bad food that i pick myself.
