Hey everyone,
I have had way to many ups and downs to recap over the last several years diets failed, getting in a gym failed, pretty much everything. As fat would have it about a 1 1/2 ago I got fed up with my weight and gave it another go. No plan just armed with what I read here over the years and being tired of being 5-7 and 220lbs. At my lowest I got to 154 and have stayed at 160 for some time.
So armed with a new sense of accomplishment I figured now the gym would be no issue. Well I was wrong. In all honestly I am lost as I was years ago. I have had so many people tell me do this, do that, dont to this dont do that, and now im just confused. The goal was to put together a program and do it. So far I have not been able to put a program together, and a new (maybe old problem ) has came up thats not really like me.
For whatever reason when I do get fired up to give it a shot I get to the gym if I see more then one or two people inside I cant bring myself to go in. When I do go in, if anyone comes in I anxiety sets in and I have to leave. I have talked to a few people and of course I am told just go in and stay in. After all they all have the same goal as you. Well if it was that easy for me I would not be typing this.
I can understand that lack of knowledge is one of my hangups. I want to do an all machine workout (for now) but cant seem to get something together. And even if I did get something together, anxiety would set in and I would not do it anyway. I go to a 24hr place, but in not going to go every hour on the hour and see when nobody is around.
Any ideas about how I might be able to overcome the anxiety, and if that could be accomplished what would be the best workout to try.
Im running out of ideas here.
Thanks
