So it has been a while since my last post. I have been very busy. I am very happy to say that I am still sticking with it, I am watching my diet, reading lots of nutrition labels and drinking water. I got a membership at a local gym and one of my friends is helping me out with what circuits I should do to lose weight. I am shooting for going to the gym 3-4 days per week. I worked out today for nearly two hours.
I really like the gym, its nice, the equipment is new and its not crowded. The best part is that I can go anytime I want to, its open to members 24/7 and I can go to any location this particular fitness company has. What surprises me however is that I actually enjoy going.
Wait a minute. Who actually enjoys working out? I have to be kidding right?
Nope, I really do enjoy it. I like the way it makes me feel, you know that whole endorphin thing? Well, its true. When I walk out of that gym I am tired, and sweaty, but I feel like a million bucks. Its not just the mood improvement though, I feel accomplished. I have followed through and done this no matter how hard I thought it would be or how much I wanted to quit I didn't. It makes me feel good that I did it, and I get that feeling every single time I leave the gym. Its so empowering to realize that all the things that have been holding me back all these years aren't holding me back anymore. I may be losing weight but I am growing in other ways.
Heck, I am proud of myself. And I have no desire to ever quit . My clothes are baggy, my rings roll around on my fingers and I can see the difference when I look in the mirror. I also see something new, a little bit of self confidence, and I kind of like it.
My routine
30-45 minutes of cardio and 45 minutes to one hour of weight training,
I plan on adding in some classes this week just to keep me on my toes, I am totally loving this, if anyone is interested in a great gym email me, I will tell you all about mine.
Bring on the pain- C
