The first move.

Hello friends!
After the stupidity on Monday, my year technically started on Tuesday. So I will tell you the story from there. I packed my gym bag Monday night. Like, finally. Do me a favor, just count the 'firsts' in all that I am about to say. I woke up at 8:00 a.m. for the first time since December holidays. That's a first.
I had a glass of milk, pure white milk with no chocolate syrup or anything after a billion years? When did I really drink milk the last time? When I was a child? Okay, I need a reaction here. MILK. I hate milk yet I actually drank it. That's a total first.

I only had one class on Tuesday which ended at 3 p.m. Normally, I would think to myself, this is not an appropriate time to go to the gym. I used to make up demented reasoning to ignore all the times that I was supposed to exercise. After class, I went to my locker and promptly changed into my gym clothes. I stepped onto the treadmill, surprisingly not dreading it. I had determination for the first day I guess, not really motivation. But thanks 'sow' for the message, it made a difference. Gee, I don't even know your name.

I did 40 minutes of treadmill. I just walked on 3.5 because I didn't wanna cramp my legs the first day. Then I did the elliptical for 15 minutes, and that was it. Wednesday, I had a day off but didn't wanna waste it. My membership at LA Fitness expired so all I have is the campus gym for now. But I can't travel to campus on the days I have off, so I figured I would go for a morning walk. I didn't wake up because I slept late. So, I am not completely doing everything that I am supposed to. Anyway, I danced for an hour and that made me sweat a lot more than the treadmill and elliptical did altogether. I drank 3 bottles of water on Tuesday and 2 yesterday. That is a first. I could barely drink a glass before. No wonder I have so many health problems. I am pretty proud of the two-day progress. I started off with a 55 minute workout the first day and I am soon gonna make it 2 hours with more intensity. Thank you so much for the love and encouragement. Dear friends, I love you all <3
