The Gym

Posted Updated
Note: This article was published while I was in my early 20s. I was much younger and dumber. Please don't hold it against me. One of the perils of having a 20+ year old website!

One of my resolutions this [every] year is to go to the gym, try to lose some weight, etc. This year I am actually following through with it, and it feels pretty good. I started on Jan. 2, the day I got back to school, and have been going just about everyday, taking a day to rest here and there. Once I actually started going, it wasn’t that hard to continue. I felt pretty good after going to the weight room and/or cardio room, even if I was sore or tired. And I started seeing progress after just the first week.

So what I am doing different this year? I am actually going. My friend told me getting to the gym is 90%, and that’s about right. Once I get there and start working out I want to keep going and finish the work out for the day. Some awesome music doesn’t hurt either.
