Back From The Gym

I am just back from the gym, having my first induction. I had booked an hour induction (apparently you get an hour and then 2 half hour inductions) with Adam. When I got there I found out that it had been changed to a half hour induction with Elijah, the guy who emailed me yesterday. So I never got to find out who Adam was, shame as I like that name.
I was briefly shown what each of the cardio machines did and a couple of the weight machines too and that was it really. On my next visit, which I have booked for Tuesday, I will have an hour and Elijah will help me draw up a plan of what machines to use etc to achieve my goals. My goals are basically to look better. I've already told him that it is pure vanity, I just want some definition in my chest, abs and arms, and maybe to build up my running stamina.
When our half hour was over I had a go on a few machines, starting with a basic cross-trainer. I used to manage about 10 minutes on this when I used to go to the gym 4 years ago. I barely managed 3 today and I felt sick. My own fault really as all I had eaten this morning was 4 Go Ahead Yogurt Break biscuits (which I am addicted to at the moment) and a glass of fruit juice.
I persevered and had a go on 2 weight machines, the rowing machine (which I quite enjoyed) and the treadmill. I began to feel really shaky though so, once I steadied myself I made my way back to the changing room.
I had lasted 30 minutes (after my induction) which I was disappointed with, but it is only the first day. I will try and make myself go again tomorrow for a short work out and then I have my next induction on Tuesday morning. Lets hope that I get into the habit of going at least. Enjoyment can come later when I know what I am doing.

As for totty? There were a couple of okay looking guys there and one guy I really liked. I wasn't sure if he was interested or not, but he gave me a sort of half-smile at one point. Unfortunately he went back to the changing room just as I was leaving. I didn't try out the sauna as there was an unattractive, portly guy sitting right by the door and I didn't feel like squeezing past him.

I am now sat back at home, eating a low-fat microwave pasta meal as I needed something quick to boost my energy levels back up and get rid of the shakes. I really mustn't work out on an (almost) empty stomach next time.

Oh, and before I went to the gym I took measurements of my body so that I can gauge how well my efforts are doing. I measured my biceps (flexed and not), chest, waist, neck, thighs and calves. I will probably re-measure ever month or two to check. I did notice, however, that my right leg is bigger than my left, by about 1.5cm on the calf and thigh. I wonder if that affects my balance?
I forgot to see if there were any scales at the gym though, so that I can watch my weight, as we don't have scales here at the flat any more. I'll have a look next time I go.
