New Me, New Beginning

So today is the beginning of the new me. I have finally kicked myself up the backside, and done what I have been meaningto do for goodness knows how long! I have joined the gym.

Now as my other half will tell you, I was always moaning about something. How wobbly my legs and stomach were, or how a certain pair of jeans didn’t fit, or even how unfit I was. But did I do anything about it? Of course not! I couldn’t be bothered. I was lazy and just expected things to change. What was it that made me change you ask? I’ll tell you…

I was a normal girl, didn’t bother what people thought, happy with how I was and what I had, not a care in the world, and I’d do what I like. However, I started to put weight on. At first, it was just a bit, it didn’t bother me at all. But then being at university, I put on a stone and a half. Yes, wow! I didn’t exactly do anything about it, I just moaned. It wasn’t until three days ago, that I stood in front of the mirror, and looked in horror at the stranger staring back at me. Who and what was that thing? It was me.

I’m not the most athletic person in the world. I have rather bad asthma, and am unfit to the point where walking up stairs gets me out of breath. My decision to join the gym is to help me lose weight, tone my muscles and even fitten up. I tell you, you have no idea how good it feels when you start to put a plan into action!

I’m not really a morning person. I’d sleep in until midday if I could, but today I was up at 7am, ready to go down to the gym and register. Which I did… It turned out they couldn’t fit me in for an induction until 8.30pm tonight. Waste of time getting up early you say? No. In fact, I’m rather happy to have been up since then. I feel fresh and alive, knowing that later on, will be the start of the new me. Until then, it’s the healthy diet plan that starts now.

A word of advice, if something is bugging you and you’re not happy, whatever it is, do something about it. You will feels so great when you do something, and even better when you see the final outcome.
