bringing sexy back.... in a couple of months....

          SO... My mother and I joined the gym. It might be an understatement for me to say that since High school I've gained the freshman 15. But saying that I've gained a bunch of weight sounds harsh.... but true.  I plan on meeting with a trainer once a week for a year to try to resolve this issue. The point of the trainer will not only teach me the correct way to work out the parts of my body that need the most work, but also so I have an obligation to someone else other than myself to go to the gym.  I feel as if this is the time in my where its important for me to learn how to take care of my adult body and make losing weight and have a consistent good weight a priority. I mean now that I live with my parents, I'm not really using my money for rent or utilities, so why not use it towards taking care of my body and getting in shape.  Makes sense....right? The point of the trainer will not only teach me the correct way to work out the parts of my body that need the most work, but also so I have an obligation to someone else other than myself to go to the gym. 
       Turns out that working out with my mom is kind of funny, its not like working out with a friend. Although the last time I went to the gym with her I wasn't in a very good mood anyways. Not to mention I didn't bring my gym stuff in my car so I was stuck with what was already in my car, which was a t-shirt and some really short college shorts that rode up sooo far while i was running to make my thighs look even bigger. We went around 4:30pm and I had recently found out the guy I've had a crush on since the day I was able to develop crushes goes to our gym at 5pm every week night. I was really hoping not to see him, but... I did. And didn't he look just as sexy like 10 years later. He's beautiful.
    The point of the last two paragraphs is to discuss the idea that people who feel they need to improve their body by going to the gym are already self conscious about themselves, but its soo hard to work out and be pumped about going to the gym when its probably the place people feel most judged and insecure about their bodies. For one the boys who work out on the weights are usually super studly, and secondly the girls who go to the gym are usually trying to get those boys to notice them OR they are just crazy gym buffs who already look too good to be true.
For me Im just going to push through it and one day I hope those studly boys... aka love of my life... will notice me and I will look too good to be true... ha ha ha
     But really whats important is that I feel good about myself and my health. If im 24 and have gained this much weight, imagine what Id be like 10 years from now if I didn't decide to do something about it. 
     Hopefully this is something I can keep up and make a permanent change. And once I start seeing results Ill feel much better. I want my body back, because this one isn't mine....


I'd like to know how you feel about going to the gym, and maybe even what worked for you in terms of weight loss, or self discipline to go to the gym.  thanks!
