I really hate the gym.

So, today I went to the gym. Now I don’t know why, but I have been avoiding the gym. Okay, I think I know why… because of wearing my glasses. But that’s beside the point.

So when I was at the gym today, I was running on the treadmill and I wanted to do 10k. Just to see if I could do it, seeing as I am signing up for some next week when I get paid! However, my training watch was playing up which was distracting me and it kept stopping so my calorie count was off. So I had to rely on the calorie count on the treadmill as a rough estimation. I then got fed up as the TV stopped working and I just really lost all motivation. I kept taking my glasses off, and almost lost them because I can’t see that well, but it was all just a huge bore today. So I went on the bike until I had earned a few more activity points.

I could see my personal trainer lurking around me the whole time I was there and could tell he wanted to talk to me as I haven’t seen him in the gym since just before Christmas. I avoided all eye contact and pretended that I couldn’t see him. When I finally hit my calorie burn that I was aiming for at the gym… I saw that he wasn’t lurking around anymore and I made a dash for the door.

BANG. He was standing in the doorway… and the meltdown began!

“I hate the gym… I hate coming here…”

Fast forward 10mins and him ending up admiring me for coming to use the treadmill and then going home to do another 1 hour workout with Bob or Jillian. However he said he wants to make me a new personal plan etc…

I told him I won’t be around much in the next 3 weeks, due to the fact in the next 6 days I am working 5 of them all 12 hour shifts, and then on the 7th day… well that is the day my life is going to change… for the better (if everything goes well!) and of course no exercise for 2 weeks after!!!!!!!

I don’t want him to make me a new plan… it’s making me feel a rage! I like doing what I want to do. Nobody can argue that what I am doing isn’t working for me… so why do I feel guilty!

On another note, I got my 2 new Jillian DVDs (see photo!) I did Extreme Shed and Shred today – it was good, but I kept up with level 1 – she has already turned me into a machine. Really cheered me up after my disastrous gym session. After all that I did manage to burn myself 700 calories away today. I don’t know why it made me so angry but I am feeling better now. Thanks to Jillian!

Rant over! (sorry about this blog!)
