Gym

So in preparation of starting this Game Braedon and I set up a membership at Golds Gym through Braedon's work. I honestly wasn't looking forward to being a Gym Member. I haven't been to an actual gym since my sophomore year of high school - choosing instead to do at home things such as P90X or the treadmill. Well then came Friday, day one of the game, where Braedon and I took our first trip to our local Golds Gym. All my fears/annoyances/notwantingtogotothegym feelings bubbled up as I felt that everyone was looking at the very scrawny/non-athletic white girl (our gym just so happens to be in West Valley where white is definitely the minority) that didn't belong in such a place. We then proceeded to do our workout. Some time on the treadmill, time on the bike, and a few weights lifted later we were done with our workout - and you know what? It felt good!

We have now been everyday since (besides Sunday) and all my ill conceived notions about gyms have been put to rest. I actually enjoy it now. Yes there are still some times when Braedon will have to nudge me to actually go to the gym, but once I'm there I work harder then I would at home, maybe that's just my competitive side coming out (how dare the girl next to me run faster then I am, I'll show her!).

I'm glad this Game pushed me and Braedon to get gym memberships and even better I'm glad it pushes us to actually go and use the membership.

Anywho, my arms are tired and so are my legs, time to take a shower and snuggle to a good movie - I actually feel like I deserve it. :)

Night all!
