Captains....log...star-date... never mind. Well on top of the drastic, and numerous changes in my life, unfortunately like all lazy people I've gained a tonne of weight. I have a gym membership, but still lack motivation. After going 2-4 times a week for an hour a day, I've begun to notice a minute change, but I'm more energetic (scary thought considering I'm wired all the time).
Today was different though, my Fiancé decided to try out my gym with a 14-day free membership! She seemed to enjoy it, even though she found it awkward. We both grew up in the country, and lived or spent most of our youth on a farm, where you get a full body workout 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. So the hilarity of feeling like a hamster in a wheel sunk in.
After getting past that 'awkward' feeling, she found herself actually enjoying it, and only having to deal with the occasional giggle-fit. We are starting more than one new beginning together; First was actually planning our wedding, second was myself getting enrolled in College, and now we're trying to live healthier lives.
It's a lot all at once, or at least in a short time-frame. I went from being a dead-end job working, high school drop-out alcoholic with no social life except online video games, to being a "Stellar student" (Verbatim quote from my Career Services advisor Anthony), and a business professional in the span of just over a year. Wow... Actually seeing it in writing really hits home.
This just goes to prove, that no matter where you come from, it's where you're going that matters, so look up, take the high road, and soar over all expectations.
"If practice makes perfect, and nobodies perfect, why practice? So you can achieve Excellence."
Have a great day,
