I have recently joined a gym - this was mainly my sisters doing and me giving into pressure. It is a health center for one of our local hospitals that does a lot of physical therapy. Generally, I am not a huge fan of gyms, but this one has actually made me happy to join. Not only are my sister and I some of the youngest people there (most people I see are above the age of 55) but there is this lady who is always there cleaning - I have notice lately she has been wearing the same sweater and that concerns me... Anyways, when you join, you get 2 free sessions with an instructor to figure out how physically fit you are and then what machines/weights you need to use to get the results you want. I have been going to the gym now for 3 months and I am just now getting to it. I need ALL the help I can get with my stomach and love handles!
Good news, I can do 25 push ups no problem :)
Running has been my main thing,well, only since last year. It was so much fun at first but four 5k's later, I have actually started to enjoy it and hope to sign up for a 9k this year.
I just realized I am writing about the gym and being physically fit while drinking a soda (see, I can't stay away from them even when I write about it!). This is my down fall. Bad food. I do love healthy food and I don't have a problem eating it! I just have a problem with loving bad food too!!! If only I could do a better job convincing myself that it is not good for me...
This is sort of my conversation with myself when I eat bad food in picture form:
While eating this...
I am going to be able to look good in something like this come summer time?
Or will I have to stick with something like this? (yes, this model is pregnant)
Maybe if I do several push ups and crunches tonight I could look like this by the end of the week:
NOT POSSIBLE!
Two things I tell myself after this conversation:
Stop drowning myself in sugar!!!
Go eat a carrot!
Okay, well I don't envision myself as Miley Cyrus eating a carrot...
Remember, eating a lot of low-fat pies is a good way to get high-fat thighs.
