I have NEVER been athletic. I have always had the blessing of being naturally slender and therefore never felt much urge to workout. Recently I have come to realize that I'm sick of looking at various women with great bodies saying 'I wish..' without actually doing anything to EARN that body!
I initially wanted to do this as a sort of experiment on my willpower. I believed I had very strong willpower (I've managed to quit drinking, smoking (of all items) and other recreational drugs without relapse for the past 6 years (Tobacco only the last two). I have become a vegan as of March 2013 and, despite living in a household full of 'normal' people, I have not deviated from my lifestyle choice) I decided I was going to MAKE myself like working out...And so I joined the local YMCA and after about 3 weeks I have started going every day (though recently I've forced myself to take a day or two off a week, despite my cravings for a good sweat!)
I love that I'm doing something good for my body! Previously I excused my lack of exercise by saying 'Well..At least I eat well and don't drink/smoke...'..But I eventually got sick of that. a human body NEEDS to exercise! I want to see what my body is capable of! I want to learn what sort of musculature my body had hidden beneath all the 'padding'. I want a sexy round ass, damnit!! And I know that, if I keep on working out with the dedication I'm doing (and perhaps tweak my eating a bit) I'll achieve it! SUCH a thrill!
