I finally did it. I went to the gym for the first time in a year and I even bought a membership. It only cost about 16 dollars for a one month membership. It honestly wasn't that bad either. I don't know if it is because it is Sunday or what not but the gym was full of middle age-ish people or Little kids in their karate get ups. I honestly didn't do that much today. I was in there for maybe 40 minutes. I was still a bit nervous. I can't help myself. I am a nervous person. Tomo says I shouldn't be that way but I can't help it.

He did admit that when a foreigner comes to the gym, especially a black person, the Japanese folks talk. A lot. A bunch of "sugoi's" and "eeehhhhh's". SO he says I should work hard to not embarrass myself in the gym. Isn't he a great motivator?
