I worked out for the first time willingly in my life- and this is what has happened:

Hi everyone.

I’ve lurked on this subreddit for a long time. I finally decided to do something.

I’ve never worked out or gone to a gym willingly in my life until this year. What convinced me wasn’t my newly diagnosed medical condition, but the fact that I was struggling climbing slopes and hills in Israel while on a trip over my winter break.

I came back to my campus, went into the exercise room downstairs, and walked on a treadmill for a half hour.

Now, I know that’s not much, but I did it again twice that same week, and I haven’t had the time with school to go to the exercise room until tonight, but I struggled hard- with the treadmill, with the elliptical, and now I’m on a stationary sitting bike thing. But at least I’m moving.

I feel happier.

I’ve never liked to take photos, but I now am a little bit more open to it. I haven’t weighed myself (I’m 5 feet, 1 inch) and maybe 130ish pounds, but I can go into my doctors office for a check up and tell her what I’ve started to do.

I don’t really have a clue about how I should be running on a treadmill when I can’t breathe, but I’m at least trying.

So thank you, lose it. I’m trying to lose 10 pounds. And I think that’s a good number.
