WooHooo!! First day at a Gym in years! I can’t even believe it. So stoked! I love the treadmill SO much. I miss having one in my home.
AND I was so curious about how well I would do on the elliptical! Before I could literally only do 90 seconds before my thighs SCREAMED at me! I thought the machine was broken and I was crushed that I was that out of shape. CRUSHED!! It made NO sense!! I am actually pretty strong for someone so out of shape and even my friends were surprised. I tried and tried and nadda. And of course I wasn’t going consistently.
And today I eyed up that elliptical machine because it is now my gauge for success. I had warmed up on the treadmill for 20 minutes. I went on it. Big breath. Withholding judgment or at least trying to. A few tentative steps. A few more. Nice and easy. 3.0 mph.
I watched breathlessly as the 30 second turned into 60 second turned into 90 seconds. And I stepped. And I subtly monitored out of the corner of my eye not wanting to jinx it. Nice and easy. 3 minutes!! VICTORY! I flash of white hot happy screamed through me. I went to 5 minutes and then stepped off because I don’t want to hurt myself first time as well. I “blame” ketones and all those stairs!!
I tried another machine that to try the Arc trainer. 20 seconds of that and EEK! Thigh scream! So I went and did ANOTHER easy 5 minutes of the *gasp* elliptical!

Happy happy happy.
Checked out the Hydromassage bed. Not sure how I feel about that one. But I did the chair massage and OH MY GODS!! yeah – Dream coming up! So funny because I actually have never really cared for massages at all but this chair…. swoon!
And that was my Day 1 at Planet Fitness! Whooot! Who wants to join me?? Now I get to go online and find other humans doing a similar thing.

Note: My gratitude for ketones and Pruvit is filling me so full it is actually leaking out my eyes in warm wet tears as I type this. I can’t even express… wait. Changing that. One day I will be able to return the gif of life that this Universe has given me. Ketones for my physical body. For making my body work like it was meant to work – supplying it brain fuel of the purest form directly affecting my muscles, my mood, my clarity, my focus, my intellect. For the support I am given to change my negative belief systems and habits by joining in with the company Pruvit and it’s (now mine too) mission to “We are creating a community of people who care as much about personal performance as you do. By giving expert guidance so that people can walk the path of peak performance and innovation through mind, body & spirit, we can help one become nearly superhuman as they begin to perform at their own optimum level.”
