Go to the gym

went to the gym and did pilates and loved it from beginning to end!!
eventhough this was yet again a small manifestation of the discipline i actually shóúld have, i must say I’m glowing with pride!! I could just as easily have staid at home all day, as i usually tend to do (shame on me for not embracing life to it’s fullest), bit I DIDN’T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yey me!!!!

Went to the gym this morning. Did the aerobicsclass and when that was finished I got on the tredmill for an hour. My grandmother died yesterday, my divorce is a fact, I’m in the middle of packing all my stuff, ‘cuz i’m moving, my ex-husband is an asshole and I’m counting my curses instead of my blessings for a change. Nothing wrong with that. This too shall pass.

This morning I went to the gym and it felt great. For the past 4 days I’d been feeling downdowndown and the more I thought about all the crap getting me down, the crappier and downer I felt. It sucked. I doubted everything and felt like the ugliest, stupidest loser on the planet. I was at a party and drank too much in a short amount of time, causing all the bad vibes to bubble up to my surface. I went home and cried my eyeballs out. Next day I still felt totally shit (the headache and vomiting didn’t help either…). It’s time to truely get my act together. Going to the gym helps reduce this ridiculous amount of stress my body’s packed with and it sends me in a healthier direction. Tomorrow I’m gonna try Pilates, eventhough I’m stiff as a board. The time is now.

Haháá!!!! Yessssssssssss, I did it!!!!!!! And I feel superduper!!!!!! As soon as I walked in the gym this morning, everyone was cheering and really proud of me, and I hadn’t even done one high kick or anything yet. Throughout the workout I was sweating like a pig, felt like I was gonna throw up and turned blue in the face, but, oh, boy, it was worth it. You don’t know how bad a shape you’re in , ‘til you start working out. My ‘shape’ (or lack thereof) sucks all over the place. But, hey, all that’s about to change. Phillintheuk : I walk the walk and talk the talk and wear those Reeboks with pride (and cramp in my leg…).

The people at the gym must know this is one of my to-seriously-do things. They keep telling me it’s about time I started working out too. (N.B. : this couldn’t possibly be because of visible overweight, because they also keep telling me I have to eat…) The pressure is building, so let it be known : NEXT MONDAY I’LL BE WORKING OUT AT THE GYM. If I fail to do this I’m a stupid moo with no spine, that stumbles the walk, and mumbles the talk. I mean, honestly : if Madonna can do it, SO CAN I. Or did I buy those Reeboks for no other benefit than Reeboks’ wallet???

I DID go to the gym, from 5p.m. till 10p.m., but that doesn’t really count, since it was for work… I’m only claiming I did go to the gym, because the big black letters saying I haven’t done anything on my list yet make me feel … well… not happy and, may i say, judged..
So, do I feel better now that I’ve got something on my ‘have done’-list? Feel, feel, feel, checking how I feel…. Hmmm, not really, but, hey, I’m not feeling any worse either.

I work at a gym, so I can make use of all the facilities FOR FREE!!
What GOOD reason can I come up with not to go to the gym? Not a single one… Probably has something to do with changing behavior and the missconception that that is a hard thing. It’s as hard and/or as easy as I choose it to be.
Besides, even if I didn’t work there, I could easily go jogging, walking, rollerskating, what not… Nike’s right : JUST DO IT! (and stop nagging about it)
