			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">&#8220;<em>motivation is what gets you started,<br />
habit is what keeps you going</em>&#8220;</p>
<p>it&#8217;s the fitness first tag line, and yes &#8211; 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&#8217;s a bit costly but what i had in mind is that if i don&#8217;t pay for it, i won&#8217;t be urged to do it.</p>
<p>what really motivated me? i&#8217;m underweight for my age and height and i&#8217;ve always wanted to gain weight. since college, i&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;d be careful though, i don&#8217;t want to have the same fate as <a href="http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=33a_1218642189&#038;p=1">this guy</a>. eeek!</p>
<p>three times a week. that&#8217;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&#8217;s what the nutritionist said). more food means more expenses so i also have to adjust my budget for my daily meals or i&#8217;ll always end up broke. lol.</p>
<p>well, it&#8217;s gonna be a new found habit for another 11 months. wish me excellent results! hahaha</p>
