uitlander's Journal, 13 Oct 18

I found the motivation to return to the College gym yesterday, early morning. It was quite crowded with young and thin students, so trying not to feel too self-conscious about it all. One of them kept shooting me not-at-all-welcoming looks throughout the session, but I am older, fatter and entirely unphased by that sort of behaviour. There was another half hour of cardio split across the same 3 machines led to fitbit thinking I'd burnt about 3200 calories yesterday. Not entirely convinced by that number.

One thing I did notice was that I felt rather light-headed for the rest of the day, which makes me wonder if I was trying too hard. Still, at present it feels like progress so all I need do now is haul myself in there on Sunday morning so that I continue to embed the exercise/gym habit. The rest of Sunday will be spent visiting the elderly relative in the care home an hours drive away, which I am really not looking forward to again.

The not-at-all-welcoming looks define person who gives them to you but not you. You are doing so well returning to gym and I trust you are going to do just great. Took me long time to get to this state of mind but I just stop caring about “their” looks , so should you 🤗

Thanks marcqpan I keep telling myself this. Today is another 'gym day'. I've had a broken night's sleep so my plan to get there early morning has not worked. Gonna try and fit in a session on the way back from the city this evening. I'm hoping the place will not be too crowded later today - its a small gym with relatively few pieces of kit.
