Feeling a bit self-concious today. Last night I did my third Haidong Gumdo class. Got there early and thought I was late as another class was going on so I did their final sets with them only to find out that I was not late but that the advanced class was just finishing and my class was beginning. So I wound up getting an extra 15 minutes of workout in. Sadly though I think I overdid it as about a third of the way through my class while going through a string of exercises I felt like I was going to keel over as my arms are still getting used to the workouts. My shoulders didn't want to move at all.
Felt like such an idiot in front of the class but no one said anything. They seem like a bunch of nice people though and I'm hoping they understand my reasons for doing this as a means to get fit and healthy again. I'm promising myself to do better and just need to keep telling myself that I'm just starting out and it will get better. It's just hard after being lazy for so long. But my teacher is being patient with me and very complimentary and is pushing me in the right ways I think. Just need to remind myself of the saying "no pain, no gain".
Everyone in the class was as focused on themselves as you were, don't worry about that ever. If you're starting out getting into shape just take it slow. Forget no pain no gain, injuries are what will make you have to take a break which increases the odds of you just giving up entirely. There's no need to unnecessarily push yourself to do extra stuff, especially when you're starting out. Slower but constant improvement will have better long term effects than trying to run before you can walk and hurting yourself over and over.
other peoples opinions are stupid and don't matter

literally no one at all in any gym/workout session gives a fuck what you do or what you look like so long as you're not about to (a) hurt yourself or (b) hurt others
not a single fuck
i felt self conscious when i first started going to the gym and it took me longer than it should have to realise this absolute truth of the world

i went on my coffee break and someone who I vaguely know took it as an opportunity to sit next to me and talk about their masters
i actually think that if I asked my boss for another break because of that, he'd give it to me

There's a difference in "no pain, no gain" between pushing yourself and injuring yourself. Pushing yourself should hurt a bit. You're exhausting your muscles, it should be challenging. You should feel the burn the next day. The line is at sharp pain. That is when you stop.

Everyone else will be thinking the same thing, but about themselves. Seriously.
No one goes to exercise to make fun of other people trying.
Those times you see someone criticise people who use exercise machines wrong in January? They are criticising the mistakes not the effort. So long as you are trying no one gives a damn.
In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence.

You're right. Need to remind myself I'm not as spry as I used to be which is hard because for a long time I prided myself on being able to keep up. Really upset with myself for letting it get this bad. That's something my teacher had said on one of my first night's too. I'll just have to make sure to pace myself a bit better tomorrow. At least tonight I can rest a bit. One thing's for sure. My shoulders are going to be in crazy shape eventually. Holy crap do they not like me right now.

A guy gave me tips on my form once. That was good.

I still run scenarios from ten years ago or more in my head to see how I could have handled them better.
I can also spend an entire night practising conversations for tomorrow that I anticipate will be difficult. They inevitably aren't.

When do folk lose interest in going to the gym? It was the most crowded I'd ever seen it last night. Is it the entirety of January.
Previously I've been able to go at odd times to avoid these problems. Now it's pretty much I have a gap after work before dinner. LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE IN THE WORLD

Some people make it partways into February. The majority have already given up.

They usually last 2-4 weeks. It'll be fine by Valentines day.

This is sort of a New Year's Resolution but at the same time it's something I've been wanting to really get into for months. The wife and I started doing long walks in the fall but when we started getting hit with the snow it put a bit of a stop to it for December.
When my birthday came I had a bit of money at my disposal and I remembered wanting to join the Haidong Gumdo class here that I'd seen practice at the nearby park in the summer. So, last week I sat in on a class on Friday and that night I signed up (even had a coupon for 50% off for the first two months). The next day I had my first class and am resolved to do this as 1) I want to get fit, 2) I have always, ever since I was little, wanted to learn proper sword techniques and 3) I'm a thrifty goose who makes sure I don't waste my money so I'm never going to miss a class unless I'm highly sick, debilitated, etc. With going 3-4 times a week I'm hoping I'll start seeing some improvements in a month or so but I'll also remind myself that I need to be patient.
I need to drop some hints for DRX regarding Valentine's Day/birthday ideas. Should I just tell him straight up, or try to be more coy? I should mention that he has an extremely unfortunate history of missing hints that I felt were icebergian.

I remember when System Shock 2 speed runs took 35 minutes. Now they can be under 14.

I like how this really poetically describes new year resolutions.
General Katana tells me it's "Never fight on holy ground".

that's what you get when you're dealing with a talking sword; nonsense.

Hints, in my experience, are useless.
