No more excuses

Now it's official, I am starting to work out again. I decided that this damned flu, that's made me stay more or less still for the past month, is over. I went for a walk yesterday and even that made me feel so good that I said to myself: no more laziness. Or sickness. It's time for a change.

I just did a 7-minute workout that my sister recommended and I realized I am starting from the very bottom. Long gone are the days when I was strong and fit, I thought lying on the floor breathing heavily. Now, on the other hand, that my breath has become even and I feel the endorphins rushing through my body, all I feel is determination. I know I have to start slowly, since I don't want to stress my body too much for the flu to hit back. I am gonna need more patience and willpower than in a long time, since I am not planning on failing this time. Yeah, I am blaming myself for wasting half a year doing nothing when I could have spent all my days exercising, but it does no good to get stuck in the past.

I can do this. I remember how good it feels after a weekend of trainings when every single muscle in your body is sore and you're wondering if you manage to drive home since your legs are shaking so much. I want to feel that exhaustion again. I wanna drive a car, too, it's been quite a while, now that I thought of it.

All the time I've been wondering why I am so tired all the time and now that I did even a bit of sports I feel extremely energetic. It has been so easy to stay in, blame it on the freezing weather or a sore throat. Now it's above zero and I'm finally healthy, so it's time.

And the reason I wrote about this here is that since now someone might know I am trying the exercise, I really have to do it. Because if they ask about it, it'll be pathetic if I have to admit that I gave up.
