“motivation is what gets you started,
habit is what keeps you going“

it’s the fitness first tag line, and yes - i joined their club last month. when my office mate informed me that he was scheduled for a consultation, i decided to tag along since the gym is only a few floors away from where i work. there it was, after a long discussion with the consultant, we were both encouraged to register. it’s a bit costly but what i had in mind is that if i don’t pay for it, i won’t be urged to do it.

what really motivated me? i’m underweight for my age and height and i’ve always wanted to gain weight. since college, i’ve always wanted to go to a gym and do weight training but i was kind of hesitant because i had no company and no one to assist me.

after my first day, my arms were sore that it was difficult to remove my shirt. it was even difficult to reach for my neck. but the more i forced it, the more it felt good. as the saying goes, no pain no gain. i’d be careful though, i don’t want to have the same fate as this guy. eeek!

three times a week. that’s how often i go to the gym. since i started last month, there already have been minor improvements, like gaining 4 pounds or so. my eating habit also changed. i have to take in more food to keep up with the calories i burn during training (that’s what the nutritionist said). more food means more expenses so i also have to adjust my budget for my daily meals or i’ll always end up broke. lol.

well, it’s gonna be a new found habit for another 11 months. wish me excellent results! hahaha
