up in the gym, working on my fitness

Dec 04, 2009 13:57

I am pretty set on getting a gym membership for myself for Christmas. Now that my cardio kick boxing class at Moorpark is ending, I want a way to stay active. I really hate when skinny girls refer to themselves as fat, even though I know I’ve caught myself doing it. For the record, I don’t think I’m fat. I think I’m not in good enough shape for someone who is only 20 years old. I want to start good habits now so when I start popping out babies and my metabolism slows down, I won’t have to start over in a much harder position. Plus, I sort of love to exercise. Well love-hate. I’m pretty lazy, so getting myself motivated is usually my biggest issue. Once I start exercising, even if my lungs are burning and I’m sure even sitting will be painful the next day, I feel a lot better. It’s funny, I always knew my ex used the gym as his little mental escape (/obsession) but I never really got it myself until this kick boxing class. It gave me two hours a week to completely turn off my anxiety. Even though, I’ve gone into overdrive working on dealing with my anxiety, I think I need something more. School and work has really been burning me out. I spend so much time in the car, on my computer (at work and home), and sitting in front of the television. I’m making a promise to my future “adult” self that I won’t commute or have a cubicle ever again. Hopefully. It really does something to my motivation and energy. I’m hoping that over the month of off school (and hopefully a week off of work for Christmas and New Years), I’ll be getting into shape and being annoyingly upbeat and happy.
Now to spend WAY less money on eating out to continue to save while paying some sort of monthly fee. Also to decide whether or not to ask for a few personal training sessions for Christmas.
