WIG this situation: I’m trying to create the perfect workout schedule during the school year. I want to get stronger and faster, while losing weight. Except I can’t seem to reach any of my goals. Every time I plan to go to the gym, I end up not feeling like going and staying home. When I do go, I feel self-conscious and end up leaving after walking around a bit.
