So for months, perhaps and more realistically years, I have been trying to establish a plan that would help me live a healthier more fit life. I know that due to health conditions in my family, being overweight is not good for me. Much like many, for every reason I have to start living a healthier life, I have a reason why I am not able to do so. I need to eat healtier, but I can't afford the produce. I need to work out, but I can't find the time. I need to stop eating so late, but by the time I get home and cook....its late! Whatever the reason, I can give an excuse. However, now I am making better choices. I have been debating joining weight watchers for months. I set a date, February 1, 2012 I was to join weight watchers, but once again, I had an excuse.
February 11, 2012 I was at a meeting at church, and I was a part of a conversation where my best friend was being "fussed" at by a few friends for not staying on top of her blood pressure when another friend mentioned the opening of a new gym that had memberships for only $10 a month. Planet Fitness. This stuck in my mind for a few days. I figured at $10 a month, I could afford to join and was at a place in my life where I had a desire to be successful at healthier living. So I made a comparison sheet of a few local gyms and decided planet fitness was a good fit for me.
February 15, 2012 was the first day on my journey for fitness. I joined Planet Fitness. So, what has me so sure that I will be successful? Not only did I join the gym, but so did a few of my closet friends. Today, was the second day I worked out and it is not as bad as I thought it would be. Granted I am not pushing myself as hard as I will as I get more into this fitness thing, I have been putting in a good amount of time. The first night I was at the gym for about an hour, but after a tour and getting settled in, we worked out for about 45 minutes.
Well, today I woke up not feeling so good. I really think it was something I ate yesterday at a church dinner. Despite not feeling good, I was determined to make it to the gym. Tonight, we worked out for about an hour and a half. I used to be the person who didn't understand how people would spend so much time in the gym, however, today it was rather easy!
This is me on the treadmill on day one. Sorry its blury, but thats what happens when you and the photographer are working out... LOL!
In this part of the gym are two massage chairs. I am sitting in one as I take the picture.
I am excited about my journey...I really have a feeling for fitness.
