Today was the first day of the two week bootcamp hiatus. My fellow bootcampers talked the good talk on Facebook about still meeting at the gym and working out together. Well when I showed up it was a ghost town in the basketball court, I would have left then but as I was walking towards the entrance Mrs. Mayor showed up and encouraged me to go inside the gym. I exclaimed that I didn't know what to do in there! I'm terrified of the actual gym. There were two or three more people in there I recognized from bootcamp so I hopped on a treadmill beside them...and they moved on within a minute or two so again I was alone, bored to tears staring at a pitch black window. Twenty minutes went by and I decided enough was enough. I went home and put on a hip hop workout routine. I think the look I was getting from my dog, Reggie, was probably more judgmental than any look I actually would have got from someone at the gym. I was imagining him saying as he was laying in the lazyboy staring at me, "Look at this big white girl, she couldn't hold a beat with both hands." I carried on with my rythmless hip hop imitation for twenty minutes. I know I didn't get as good of a workout as I would have at bootcamp but at least I got up and moved. I somehow agreed to try spin class tomorrow morning so we'll see if I can even walk on Wednesday but I know that I need to come up with a workout plan for the remainder of this break so I don't get gym anxiety again and leave.
