The Diary Game #38: Share your day with us! My first day at the gym; I was so excited!

Hello friends
Greetings and welcome to my blog. Today 25/4/24, am so excited to tell you all about my gym experience. Honestly I just feel it’s now am beginning to enjoy my single hood. Hahahaha.

	Excited Me at the gym

I just had that strange feeling of Joy of doing something personally to improve my personality. For the first time I decided to do something for myself. Something I would love and would improve my self confidence and that’s registering with the gym for workout.

I had been feeling down on my self confidence for sometime because I had been eating late at night and I added some weight some time ago and my stomach has simply gone out of proportion to my body weight.

I wasn’t comfortable with this at all. Most times when I dress up, I have my tummy bulging out of my dress and this is a no no for me.

So I finally made up my mind to start gyming. So today was my first day at the gym and I was so excited and was looking out for a great time out with of working out.

I left for the gym at about 8am and when I got there, I registered for two months and the work began. I started out with using the thread-mill and it was fun. The thread-mill is a machine that regulates the paces of the steps you take on a timer.

You can increase it until you start running on it while on the spot or you can decrease it to a working pace. After the thread mill I did some cycling and then the gym instructor gave me some exercises to do.

They were quite difficult for me because I hadn’t been exercising in a long while , so I had to patiently pass through them. I did 15 squats with 30 jumping jacks in four sets. It was tough. When I was done, I did 20 knee squats in another four set.

Ahhh, I could barely walk when I finished. My muscles freezed. Did I need to tell you that I was in serious pains for the next one week that followed my gymnastics experience?. I could barely walk or do anything meaningful without serious pains.

I had to take pain reliever the next two days just so I could at least move about. It was as if all my muscles were screaming at the same time. I returned to the gym three days after the fist experience and it wasn’t as tough as the first.

When I got back from gym, I was hungry, so I dashed into the kitchen to cook up something to eat. I prepared pasta and stew and ate. I already had stew in the fridge. It was a delicious savory food to soot my aching muscles.

I had other things to attend to in the afternoon which I did after eating . Then at about 3:30pm, I headed out to the road for an evening meeting. The meeting began by 4pm and lasted till 7pm.

Meeting done and dusted

When I got home, it was already late. I fixed a quick dinner of beans and ate and retired for the night. I had a fulfilled day and my first day at the gym was a memorable one.

Thanks for coming down this lane with me. I ask @lovestar, @chadman and @ashhamsharif to participate in this contest.
