The Daily Gym Struggle

Recently I joined a gym near my house with the hope of obtaining some sort of adequate physical fitness. Today was my first day at the gym and its my first time being at new gym that I haven't automatically joined because of school or family. Its a scary thing walking into a new gym and its something I'm slowly learning to adjust to. Mostly the adjustment involves getting into the mindset of "no one cares what I'm doing"; which I'm slowly moving into. I have stayed away from free weights and most of the machines generally because I really have no clue what I'm supposed to do with them… I am however having my first personal training session (a perk of my membership) on Monday so hopefully I'll get some tips and tricks on how to more effectively use my gym time and feel less like a fool.

Other things, this past weekend was great! My friday started off fantastically by getting a surprise delivery of flowers and chocolates to my office from my special friend. My face stayed a slight tinge of red the rest of the day because everyone stares at you when you have flowers; but could they not stare because they were so pretty:

They were a fantastic way to end the week and kick off the weekend! :)

Some other great things about the weekend was I found a place that serves $4 mojitos; which is phenomenal!!! My housemates and I hit that up on Friday, also on Friday I tried to revive my beer pong skills…. I'm still abysmal, I gave up though before I trolled so maybe by default I trolled.

This weekend I also saw some college friends; and we went out and karaoked and I actually sang. It was a great night and great to see old friends!

Some things I'm looking forward to:

I'm going to a concert w/ a friend this Friday and I'm going to a friends-giving this Sunday; both which will be fun! I think I may have something going on, on Saturday but I can't quite remember. 

I'm going home to Chicago next month and I'm really really excited! 

And I'm going to St. Louis next week for Thanksgiving, we're having a catered dinner which will be a first, but it'll be good to see family.

Well that's it; here are some photos:
