Heavy Lifting

I have been (for a while now) wanting to start lifting at the gym.  My problem with this is not the usual girl problem of, "I don't want to bulk up."  I'm a woman and you can ask my husband about my mood swings and crying fits.  I have enough estrogen pumping in me that "bulking up" is not in the cards.  My problem is that I am totally intimidated. 

I don't feel like I am one to be super shy or easily intimidated.  I'm not modest in the least, but for some reason when I am at the gym I am TOTALLY scared of the weights section.  What are the meat heads going to think of me?  What weight do I start with?  Am I on this machine wrong?!?!  Does anyone else have gym anxiety like me? 


And now some gym humor for you....

What if this happens to me?!



We all know this guy..
