Gym Life Starts Now!
EDIT: The awkward moment when the preview of your first post is a picture of your crotch but you don't know how to change it.
We're just going to jump straight in here: I'm going to the gym tomorrow.
Now, this might be a normal sentence to the average joe, but for me, that is a pretty big thing. Having always wondered why people go to the gym when you can exercise a-plenty in the great outdoors, I'm surprised to find myself excited at the notion of gyming (am I doing this right?).
My main reasons for going to the gym is to lose a bit of weight (as some of my favourite clothes have become uncomfortable due to my change in weight/shape), gain a bit of muscle and just get fitter in general. I don't know how much I weigh and don't plan to track this throughout the whole gym thing. I want to rely on my eye. I've always been a lover of my body but recently I've just not been feeling it, so I want to get to the point again where I look in the mirror at all of my nakedness and say "I fucking love my body."
Here's a bit of reference material for future me:
The main areas I'm looking at here are my abdomen and my thighs. For myself, I can see that I've put weight on in these places and that it is noticeable. I've always liked my thighs, but the special appearances of new stretch marks and the increased rate of chafing has made me like them a bit less.
In terms of muscle, although I'd say I'm a semi-strong-ish person for someone who has never worked out, I seriously lack some upper body strength. Let's sort that out.
Looking at fitness, it'd be nice to go up a flight of stairs without "feeling the burn".
Tomorrow is (hopefully) my first spin class with a friend. A good place to start I think, so we'll see how it goes!
