Literally.
About two weeks, a representative from the gym around the corner came into my workplace. This is an all women's gym, so she asked if any of us would like to get a coupon for a free trial at the gym.
I had been wanting to start working out. Hula hooping, was toning my core, but I felt it wasn't doing enough. And that feeling was verified by my mother's voice. I was discouraged and lacking a little motivation. But then this representative came in, and gave me my "in".
I went into the gym the next day to get a brief tour and talk with the sales representative who gave me the coupon.
And then I officially joined.
The first day I was a little nervous. I haven't been to the gym to work out since I was in Grade 12, and at that time I was going with my best friend. It was more of a social thing for us, since right after we usually ended up at KFC getting free food since her mother was the manager.
Anyway, this time around I'm going solo. I have goals to work towards, and I really want to be at a certain weight by the time my wedding rolls around. My first goal is to get under 200 lbs by December 1st.
I'm proud of myself to say, but within the last month, I've lost 7 pounds! I actually weighed myself at the gym on my second day there, which is when I found out I had lost 5 pounds. But I'm guessing that most of that was lost prior to my joining the gym and keeping up with my daily hula hooping.
So I'm slowly yet surely working towards my goals!
I think I can give myself a pat on the back right?
