Hey cub. Exactly who are you busting your hump for? I didn't mean this to
be saracastic, but you have to want this for yourself. Make a plan if
you have to that includes everything from you diet to your workout
schedule. When you are there, ignore everyone else in the gym.
I know how these little gyms can be. When my honey and I travel
we have to use whatever is available. The last was a small club
in Jacksonville, NC. (i.e. the marine base place) Yes, it is very difficult
to not draw comparisons right away, and I for one would immediately
locate all of my flaws. But trying to get into shape is very important
to me and has to take precidence over my reaction to the folks
around me. It might sound difficult, but it is a learned behaviour. YOU
CAN DO IT. You also have to RIGHT NOW become satisfied
with yourself as a human being no matter what shap you are in. Changing
your body is just a matter of refining something you aready are
happy with. It is like finding a new digs that your really like, eventhough
you know it is going to take a lot of TLC to whip into shape. So get your butt
back in the gym and make what you do productive and
consistent. It always helps to get a workout partner (you might
be surprised who may do that for you, some guys like to take
a protege under their wing), but don't let is slow you down
if you can't find someone right away. Good luck.

Woof,Tom
