There were many things that I expected when I started working out at the gym. Increased muscle mass, reducing gut and an improved level of fitness however what I hadn't expected was the increasing confidence I now have.
I have never been one for having confidence on a mass scale. I would be comfortable around people I knew and trusted and then something somewhat loud and exhubarent wouldd come to the surface, but other than that, trying to talk to new people what a somewhat challenging thing indeed.
Now, partly due to my position in a bar and partly thanks to having a new exterior, I find myself with more and more self confidence. I am able to have conversations with people I wouldn't have been able to before. I'm still not quite at the stage where I am able to go up to random women in a bar and attempt a pull but thats never really been my style....not that I ever had one.
So what does this all mean....who knows. Maybe I can get up and sing karaoke or dance on a club floor...maybe I can look a girl I like in the eye and say "I like you and I would like to take you out." The confidence is growing and I'm liking where it is taking me.
