From November 14, 2018 until June of last year, I was a member of Blink Fitness, a gym near me. I lost 19 pounds over those months – I got down to 131lbs, the lightest I've been in a while. I needed to shop for new clothes, something I was and wasn't looking forward too (and still haven't done, to be honest).
I stopped going last June because I’d just gotten a new job whose hours were not 9 – 5 (my previous job was that and I could workout after work). I don’t like working out before work, so I wanted to get settled in my new job before I did anything else. It's not an excuse, but it's my reasoning. I wasn't going as often, so I didn't want to pay for it.
I tried to stick with the “diet” that I’d started, but in the last 8 months I’ve gained back nine of the nineteen pounds that I’ve lost – carbs are a my weakness, I suppose. I love Mac & Cheese, bread, and other things. I'm human - sue me.
Starting tomorrow, I’m going to be going back to being a member at Blink Fitness – I did my research of other area gyms, and I like the environment at Blink, I know the machines. I've been thinking about it for a while, and I think now's a good time to join back up. I won’t be going EVERY day like I did before, but I do plan on going at least two days a week, as well as going to the Parkway to roller blade (when winter is over).
I’ve never been a diet fan, and I’m fussy as hell so I’m doing this my way, no matter what anyone else tells me. I’m not working out to please anyone else, I’m doing it for me.
I felt better after working out (tired, but better). Not eating all the carbs is going to be my biggest struggle, but I’m going to do my best.
