Time for Workout!
Today I’ve signed up for a 1-year membership to the CEPSUM. It’s the sports complex of the University of Montreal. Since I meant business I took their complete package deal where I have unlimited access to the training room and all sports fields. The student rebate brought it down at $120 CND. I think it’s really cheap compared to other workout centers that charge you a crazy $30/month fee (thats when they have promotions). I don’t have great expectations and this will serve me only as much as I’m willing to help myself. My objectives are simple; loose weight, improve the cardio. On the other end I’ll need to make better meal choices and put two or three hours a week into it.
Look at this picture. I sure don’t expect to reach that level in one year and don’t think I’d ever go this far in terms of improving my physique. There is a thin balance between feeling happy in your body and worshiping it. Nowadays a lot of people with self-esteem figure it’s the best way to become irreproachable. In my case, over confidence and HIGH self-esteem brought me not to care what people though of me. Why change now? Why adopt a better lifestyle? Homeostasis! A well balanced system works better against infections (I have colds all the time), it also improves mental states in different situations. You are what you are, you are defined by what you do, all the choices I made in the past made me as I am and changing that means leaving a part of me behind. If I spent my afternoons playing sports instead of playing video games I would of been a totally different person! Next time you think of changing something in your life make sure that’s the way you want it. Do I hate my self to the point of becoming an anorexic? No way lol! But let’s go a step at a time and see where it leads me, better now than when I reach my 50s.
