It has been a while since my last blog post...in that time I have not exercised nor have I treated my body well by eating healthy...but today, August 27 is my second day at the gym. Yes, I joined a gym, for the month...and what I found, as I had an hour with a personal trainer, is that I have and do 99% of the exercises she showed me at home. I did them with my old routine before I "fell off the wagon". So as I was on the treadmill today looking at the women on the elliptical, because there is no other way for me to look, I thought that the view from my home treadmill, my backyard, wasn't such a bad view after all. It is just that I understand that getting out and going to the gym gives me more gumption to get into a routine and less distractions...but I don't like to stare at people and I am not the type that like to exercise my "elephant" looking body in front of others. So what possessed me to join a gym in the first place....Well this brain of mine works in this other reality...it thinks that in a few months this body will look slimmer and more toned just like the picture that flashed across my brain while thinking it was a great idea to join a gym...but then the real reality is that it will take a lot of sweat and hard work to get it there and I have to seriously have to ask myself, "am I willing to work that hard?" Why is it so much easier to get fat than it is to get thin? We don't literally sweat when putting a cheese burger into our mouths...but that extra love handle sure pops out quick enough.
