I don’t want to be that obnoxious person that seems like they’re bragging about going to the gym or anything, but I do feel like it’s important for me to pat myself on the back from time to time when I notice I’ve made progress. Today was ab day for me and I was actually really looking forward to it for some reason. I guess after the first few times I’ve done this specific ab routine I’ve come to enjoy it quite a bit to the point where I am now thinking of adding an extra ab day each week.

So, I had my workout and I did a lot more than usual because I knew I could handle it. Although my muscles don’t feel sore right now, I have a feeling that I’ll be singing a different tune tomorrow morning. Oh, and I’m actually beginning to see some progress?! Like, this is the first time I’ve stuck with a workout routine and I’m really surprised that it’s actually working and that I’m enjoying it.

I guess the thing that’s changed has been my attitude, as corny as it sounds. I spent most of January building up my confidence to just go to the gym and walk on the treadmill a few times a week and now I feel comfortable enough to do just about anything. It really came down to the fact that I wanted to enjoy going to the gym and so I never pushed myself too hard and I never skipped a day, either.

So yeah. I just wanted to write about this incase I get discouraged or think I can’t do this sort of stuff in the future, because I definitely can and I’m so proud of myself!

Anyway, that’s probably the most exciting part of my day, next to seeing a swan try and attack one of the Canadian geese at the park today for no apparent reason.
