Speaking of putting something off (how bout that segue) I've been wanting to shed some pounds and I finally got around to joining a gym as well as starting weekly workouts with a trainer. While I need to lose some weight, there is much more to it than that. A lifestyle change is what I'm actually looking at in the long run. As a woman, it is hard to not find yourself stuck inside a vanity bubble, bouncing back and forth from fashion magazine to ads to billboards trying to fit the mold of what works for society. It can be very depressing.
Being on a diet or going to the gym alone isn't enough for someone like me. I need to do both successfully and keeping track of my ups, downs, success, and failure s and through a blog seemed like a good way to go. It will also earn me a good grade in class (fingers crossed) as well as keep up my writing, which I love to do. Plus, I get to talk about myself, which is one of my best abilities.
I am hopeful, that as time goes on, I will be able to post good results. I am having a hard time getting as motivated as I should. The trainer has set me up with workouts and a meal plan that I need to follow. His first "real" workout killed me and I was literally unable to use my legs for a good 36 hours. After intense leg rubs, icy/hot and some dips in the hot tub, they seemed to have regained their normal working order. While I agree with pushing limits, to a limit, this was way too much for me to start out with. Being as I haven't been horribly "athletic" in the past few months, I'd say it was overkill. I will master it though and perhaps the readers will be the motivators.
