The Gym (Entry X)

Hitting the gym is something I never saw myself doing. At first, gyms were nothing but a waste of money. Back then, I felt it was stupid to spend money on a membership that will be used once a week, sometimes twice, if I managed to climb out of my comfortable warm bed. Shortly after eating the 16' pizza I ate during the weekend, seeing a picture of a "transformation" on a friend's post really made me feel insecure. Throughout high school, I never went through any transformation. Perhaps the friends I hung out with, but nothing extreme as in changing my body figure. On the other hand, I was huge on cardio. I ran 5 miles a day, ate and still do eat healthy. I also managed to lift every other month. I was physically fit but not satisfied. As I looked at pictures of bodybuilders, transformations, "before and afters", a new "me" had wanted to emerge. Although, in the past summers, my goals to require more muscle had failed, I needed something stable. After putting time into it, I had decided to acquire a gym membership. As of mid-June, I have been hitting the gym everyday and have never lost interest since. When people say, "it takes time, be patient," its true! It took me at least 6 weeks to see noticeable change. Back in May, I was deciding whether to even try the gym. Although it took time for progress to show, I am still not satisfied with what I have now and always striving for more. Now, I work at my local gym and my membership is free. Not only is it worth the wait, but also exciting to see before and after pictures of yourself before the whole transformation.
