gym....

I've been going to the gym everyday this week. It may seem a little extreme, but if I'm going to wear the clothes that a ballroom dancer wears, I have to get in better shape. The next dance my instructor wants to teach us is a routine to a song called "teeth" by Lady Gaga. It's a little intense, and as my teacher puts it - she wants it to be very sexy! Which means me wearing very little clothing - I'm not so excited about it. Hence, why I now have to hit the gym everyday until the performance and eat healthier than I've ever eaten. No soda, no fast food (which is hard on this campus). Only water, fruit or salads for me. I'm also going to dance practice 4 times a week. So I feel like I'm getting plenty of exercise. Sometimes though, I really don't feel motivated to go to the gym.
It's hard sometimes when I'm sitting in my room - quite happy to be in the warmth and comfort - and then realize that it's time for me to go to the gym or to dance practice. Especially now, after a couple days of going, my muscles hurt. I have never been a gym-junky, so now - I'm in pain! My arms hurt, my legs hurt, my abs hurt... its fun stuff. I mean I suppose it's all for a good reason. I just gotta get my butt of my chair and get motivated once in a while.
