I Want to Be Healthy
January 18th. First day at the gym. I am seriously considering just staying fat!
Actually, I'm not that fat. I'm a little overweight and not in the best of shape, true. But I'm not fat. But I would certainly like to look and feel better than I do. I'm not getting any younger. I'm 47 years old and would like to feel as energetic as I did when I was in my 20s. Yeah, that's going to happen!
So I joined a gym and I've been going there fairly often to swim. They have an amazing heated pool. My girlfriend and I love it. But that's all we do. We swim. So today I went alone to hit the machines and actually sweat. Well, it freaking hurt! My legs were like rubber when I was done. And I didn't even do all that much.
I found this machine, I have no idea what the hell the thing is called. It's like some crazy cross between a Stairmaster and treadmill. I set the thing for an uphill incline and started walking. I made a mile with an average of 7 MPH. I have no idea if that is good or bad. All I know is that when I was done I could barely stand. And that was when I decided it would be easier to just let myself go to pot.
But on further contemplation, and after a nice long evening to relax, I've come to my senses. I will go back. I do want to get into shape. I do want to be healthy. So yes, I'll go back. Wish my luck. I'm going to need it!
