Last week, I realized that I do nothing but sit on my can at the office all day.
The thought just kind of benevolently floated into my head as I was typing in Colbent, and it actually startled me enough to look around at my fellow co-workers.
What I saw absolutely terrified me.
Most of the women who are older than myself have no fashion sense and are disgustingly obese. What's more, they don't care, either. One woman in particular, I noticed, frequently brings in "snack foods" like bags of candy and cookies. In order to quell the boredom of working in a call center, she sits at her desk and, well, eats. All day long.
I know that behaviour like that is relatiely common, however, it bothered me. It bothered me so much, in fact, that I got a gym membership. I decided, upon seeing that occur, that I will never get to be that overweight. If staying in shape means that I have to bust my ass every single day, then so be it, I will.
Like Lisa has been telling me for years...it's not like I'm fat, I just need to tone a bit. She was actually right. I haven't been working out for that long, but my legs look a lot nicer now.
Also, the fact that I'm paying $20 a month is extra motivation, as well. If I'm paying for it, then I'm damn well going to use the services provided :D
I actually enjoy exercising a lot, too. I always have, I mean, it's not like I'm a lazy person, I just lack motivation. And now I have motivation, so I can spend three hours at the gym without distraction.
Also, free tanning, so I can look hella Italian :D
