The gym sucks

I'm 1 year into maintenance. I achieved my weight loss through calorie counting and running mainly, but also some weight training a few times per month (my old condo had a gym - moved ~9 mos ago). Since then, it's just been sporadic running. I've been realizing how much the running and weights helped me maintain my weight and more importantly, LOOK FIT. I'm only 3-5lb up from my best weight (which is ok, I have a range) but I look kinda skinny fat. This time last year I got many compliments for looking fit!

Anyways my husband has tried all the gyms in our area for 9 mos and took me to his favourite this weekend when my mom was in town and could babysit. Crowded, over stimulating, social anxiety triggers with people flexing in the mirror and taking pictures and me not knowing how to use machines immediately, but worst of all was the machine hogs!! The machine that would let me do hip thrusts was hogged by one girl for 45 minutes (on her phone 75% of the time) and even getting a bench was a struggle. My husband said it was average in terms of busyness. My current home isn't big enough for a home gym unfortunately.

Really just venting and admiring all you who put up with it 😂
