My mental strength has increased enormously

Last night at the end of my gym session, my friend and I did an exercise where we both held a barbell of the same weight for as along as we could to see who would drop out first. I weigh a fair bit less than him and I'm not as physically strong but despite that I nearly beat him at that exercise and he said if I'd held out two seconds longer then he would have been finished. Afterwards, our friend who is training us said to me that while the first friend is physically stronger than me, I have more mental strength than him.

This morning I went down on my break to get my usual hot chocolate and eggs. The Canadian girl who works there is quite pretty and I'm normally a little shy around her but I didn't feel that today at all.

Going to the gym and moving out of home are the best things I could have done for myself this year.

Congratulations on your progress!

Are you going to ask the girl out?

Might flirt with her on Monday.

That's awesome! Good luck!
