Getting In Shape

It has been one of my goals to get into shape and it hasn't been until now that I've been serious about it. I have been going on evening jogs with weights. I have been working out at home. I still have the membership to the gym, but by the time I am able to go, it is closed. One reason I am reluctant to go to the gym is because I am self conscious. I feel really out of place there and I don't like when people stare at me. I don't know what they are thinking when they are looking at me and that can be a scary thing.

I really would like to get in shape because not only would I feel better about how I look, I would feel better about myself for doing something possitive and achieving a goal that I set for myself a long time ago. A lot of people I know keep telling themselves that they are going to go to the gym to work out, but how often do they actually go? I like going jogging at night. I have a route that I take over a hill, past a strawberry patch, over a bridge, under a bridge, and then I cross the road at the lights and make my way back home. It doesn't take that long and I have to keep stopping and walk for a few minutes to catch my breath. There are benches at the top of the hill so I sit and have a break there before I continue the rest of the way. I'd like to go every night but even if I go a few times a week, it would be worth it. I don't know if I have been losing weight. I guess that isn't really an issue. I want to firm and strengthen my muscles.

Anyway, enough about that! I am still feeling pretty good. Although I have a lot of work to get done and I have been pretty tired lately. I guess there is always time to rest if you make the time. I have to go home and get some work done. It seems like I never have enough time to do everything that I want to do. I can try to get as much done as I can, but I can't conquer the world. I have to take things a step at a time and let some things take care of themselves. I have to remember to take care of myself. If I don't do it, nobody will do it for me.

Hopefully I can get the computer at home to start working again. Something happened last night, but I don't know how to fix it. Nothing major. Just something with my internet connection. I guess I'll figure it out sooner or later.

Take Care of yourselves, and each other!
