Gym
Started going to a gym. Yeah.
What prompted me into this wasn't just extra pounds that started to show. I dislike being sedentary with a passion, having been a tomboy when i was a kid. I was trying to talk a few office friends into doing this, your know, hiking, swimming, cycling... all of which turn out to be too cumbersome for them at some point. Typical girls.
So, they found a high profile gym, quite sleek with "city's elites" frequenting. After months of pondering (in which i gained those extra pounds), i gave in.
This is the second week, we are going three times a week. I am not a blob as i feared, but there are things that i can never accomplish. Like, some of the equipment i found not to be suitable for short people. I keep reminding myself "baby steps". It is also fun to watch people around. Overweight men pumping up weights just to enlarge their upper bodies (so that they don't see that belly anymore?), ladies from all ages and body sizes, some for pleasure some for show, and some for results.
There is also the owner's little girl, a preschool snot going around the floor with McDonald's chips in her hand, making faces at us, at the trainers, telling that "this is her daddy's place". Wow.
Also, it aches afterwards. And i get hungry. And i know i can't eat cereal forever. (but that is because i am too lazy to make something else)
It's the hardest in the beginning. God help me.
