For the one hundred and fifty sixth times in my life, I have swore that starting today, I will exercise vigorously and regularly, eat right and turn my body into a lean mean machine. Feeling pretty good, I picked up the little school bag I had packed this morning and headed straight to the gym after work. It had been awhile since I had been in the gym (even though I have been paying my membership dues diligently each month). Something seemed different. When I was pondering what had changed since I was last here, my thoughts were abruptly interrupted by a loud bang and I felt my whole person was hit by something hard. I had forgotten there was a glass door, which first had to be opened before I could walk in. Feeling extremely embarrassed, I quickly opened the door, let out a fake laugh, avoided eye contact with all people around me and slipped into the ladies dressing room.Not the smoothest start to a new era of my life, but that's OK. A little humiliation is good for the soul. Beside I've always wished for thicker skin.After 30 minutes of cardio, I was totally out of breath and sweat was rolling down my cheeks. Nevertheless, I think I was successful in getting rid of the calorie from that muffin I had this morning.
