the fitness center "Gym" in my building is my new fling.
The last time I was this motivated to work out twice a day I was living in San Antonio in 2008. It really brings me a peace of mind\. I'm less stressed, my body doesn't ache, and I sleep better at night.
Since moving into town, I don't have a television (netflix only) and there is only so much Doctor Who and Supernatural (*Rose Tyler voice* sorry, Doctor) that I can take. I really enjoy doing something, not just sitting around doing nothing.
My new routine is something like this: In the mornings I wake up, no alarm clock, and just get up and stretch. I listen to the cheesy relaxation music they play in spas and wake my body up. I head down to the gym around 5:30 and work out for about an hour. I come back upstairs and get ready for work.
I started to eat my biggest meal during lunch, I feel that it helps more with my schedule. I can't really eat 6 mini meals a day. For dinner I have toast and soup.
Once I watch about an hour of netflix and I'm finished running around from work, I finally hit the gym. The gym I use is on the 7th floor of the building I live in, it's state of the art and very luxurious. I was afraid to sweat at first--but then I realized I don't sweat, I glisten (profusely).
I really enjoy my time at the gym, it's far more relaxing and rewarding then anything else I've ever done. I'm becoming healthy and fit for myself, and it's the best.
I really hope that I can keep this up, I know it's a lot all of a sudden--but it really makes me very happy.
Each step I take on the treadmill or one more rep, I'm closer to my goal.
And that makes me smile.
