Exactly one year ago I started working out. I went to the gym with no expectations what-so-ever. I didn’t have anything that I bought especially for working out – I went there with boxer shorts and one of my worn out T-shirts.
During this one year I did exactly 300 workouts. Well, actually 299 – today was workout 300. And today being New Year’s Eve makes it even more festive. I worked out 6 days every week, and only missed workouts when I was sick or when the gym was closed. Except for one time, when my mom was sick and I went over to her house to take her to the doctor. But that was worth missing practice for.
I also changed my diet completely. These days I eat deep-fried foods very rarely (once every 2 months, maybe), I don’t eat any sweets of any kind, no snacks, almost no white bread. And I used to love this stuff.
Today I look better than I did one year ago, I feel better than I did one year ago and I get many compliments, which is also great. I hope that I can go on like this and stay fit and healthy. Maybe some day I’ll be able to say about myself that I have made “the change”.
I wish you all a happy new year, with a lot of love and happiness.
I think you have already “made the change” both physically and mentally. I don’t think there are many of us out there that would get up EVERY morning as early as you no matter what and go work out. I mean come on… we need to sleep at least till 7 am, don’t we? (I know I do, I need my beauty sleep).
I also wanted to say the same when I clicked the response button: You have already made A Change’ and a significant one. I Don’t know about “The Change” you’re talking about. We both have the same flaw: We ask too much of ourselves, criticize ourselves too much and not appreciating enough what we have acomplished.
Very well done! (for you, not the food)
We all very proud of you!
So no more sabiach every Friday? ;-)
Thank you all :)
Ariel: I try to avoid Sabich on Fridays nowadays
Taipan: You’re right. I find it hard to be proud of myself for stuff that I do, but that’s how I am, I guess.
