Day Nine...

Something you’re proud of in the past few days:


Getting a GYM PASS and going to the gym!!!!



I really am so proud of myself for doing this! We got our passes at Planet Fitness (pic above) last Friday and have been 3 times since then!!! We got a great deal, it's $20 a month for the both of us and the card we got had no application or start-up fees, and it includes UNLIMITED tanning (woot woot) and other cool stuff that I can't remember. Yay for not being paste in the winter and not spending a fortune on tanning beds!! But, anyways, I am keeping up with my goal of wanting to go at LEAST 3X per week. I was even more proud of myself because, as most of you know by now, I haven't worked out in over 2 years, so going back to the gym was hard. But, not as hard as I thought. I ended up going on the Elliptical my first time back for 35 minutes and I burned 350 calories!!!! I was so proud that I could even go that long considering how I am in the worst shape ever because I eat crap! I thought I would drop dead after like 10 minutes. And the second time I went I ran half a mile and speed-walked 2! So, it seems I haven't lost all my drive and health afterall!! That was the scariest part of going back for me: seeing how bad of shape I am in! So, now that I know it's not that bad AND getting that amazing feeling you get after working out, I LOVE IT! I am going to try to get to the point where I am going 6 days a week, but that might take a bit. But this is a goal I have been wanting to achieve for the last 2 months or so, so I am SUPER proud that I am accomplishing it!!
