The gym.
I mentioned the other day that I had joined a gym. I have really enjoyed it. I feel like I am doing something good for myself and it is a great place to people watch. I know a few people that work out there.
Steve and I went to Academy Sports on Saturday night and I got some very sporty, athleticy looking workout costumes. There is nothing about me that is sporty or athletic, but I wanted to look the part. Ya know, "fake it, till you can make it."
I have been wearing a ball hat to work out in. I have not seen one other person there is a hat. Not one. I wear it, because I don't want to scare anyone with my hair. I have maybe 50 hairs on my head and what I do have is little fizzle dust. It is presentable if I wash and fix it, but not to roll out of bed and be seen in public.
Everyone tells me not to over do it at the gym. None of those people need to worry. I am taking it super slow, so I won't dread going. I have only done the treadmill, but I have done it three mornings in a row for forty minutes. Each day I have increased the incline a little and increased the speed.
If I am going to spend that much time in the gym, I want to make it count so I am trying to eat good and not pig out.
Steve keeps asking me if I am sore and I am telling him no. But, I feel good to be burning 220 calories each time and increasing my heart rate a little. So, in time I will build up to the soreness. Right now, I am just trying to enjoy it!
I should have done this years ago!
