For the past 4 months I have been working out religiously. Every day is a new day to try to shape my body into exactly what I want it to be. I was thinking about why I want this new body though. I came to several conclusions:
1) I am tired of being out of shape, flabby, self-conscious, and unable to keep up physically with others my age. I don't want to be left out, if anything I want to be ahead of the pack.
2) Before I started exercising I was malnourished, constantly tired, and my head was foggy throughout the day. Now I feel strong, able, and energetic. My morning workout invigorates me, and gives me energy throughout the rest of the day. I love my time at the gym.
3) This probably should have been first. I didn't feel attractive. Although most people could probably care less whether I have a beer belly, or muscular arms and a ripped back, I care. It's all about me. As selfish as that sounds it is my body. I want it to be a certain way, look a certain way, and feel a certain way. Anyone who says, "You don't need to work out. You look great.", is missing the point. I want people to look up to me. To say that I have serious dedication, and a will of steel. I am a focused, capable individual, and the state of my body shows that to rest of the world.
Thank you to my wonderful friends who support me in my endeavor. Check out my Bodyspace for updates if you want.
