Alright, guys. Today is the day I start my New Year's resolution. Better late than never, right? I'm not going to be one of those people who Snapchat their gym experience, though. Well, maybe. I need my ex to see I'm getting better looking.

1. Wow, I really don't want to go to the gym.

But I need to. I wonder if everyone else struggles with this as much as I do. Dang, I have a paper due tomorrow. Aaaand, I have a test tomorrow. Maybe I just won't go. That seems like a good idea, right? I did eat a banana yesterday, that's pretty healthy. Except I ate my leftover sesame chicken for breakfast... yeah, it's time to go to the gym.

2. Does the walk there count as my cardio for the day?

This walk seems like an eternity, I could have read a whole book on my way here! Speaking of, maybe I should read more. Oh wow, that person looks super fit. This is why I am going to the gym. Ugh, they get to go take a shower and lie in bed. What do I get to do? Sweat in my old tournament t-shirt from 2012. Now that I'm thinking about it, maybe I should throw this shirt away... nah.

3. Freshens smells so good.

Maybe I'll just eat and go home. I mean, the line is short.

4. This ice is amazing.

Can I install one of these machines in my room? How does the ice have such amazing consistency? It's almost as good as my Grandma's red velvet cake. No, it's better. Now Grandma is going to hate me for liking frozen water more than her cake. She would understand if she had this ice, though. I need to see how much one of these machines costs.

5. Time to start. How do I even work this workout machine?

Oh, oh no... it's on. Here I go. This isn't so bad, actually. Look at me being physical. I'm super speedy, I'm gonna make this thing go up to level six. How long have I been on this thing? Definitely a solid ten minutes. I could run a marathon! Oh, just kidding, I've only been on here for thirty seconds. Okay, I can do this. Why am I already sweating?

6. Look at them go.

I hope they don't notice me glancing at their screen. Holy cannoli, the distance says 2.38! That's almost two and a half miles. Alright, I can outdo them. I will not get off before they leave. I earned the Presidential Fitness Award in elementary school and middle school. Mom even got a bumper sticker for it. I can do this, I am a Presidential Fitness Award winner.

7. How are they lifting that much weight?

Does that say three hundred pounds? I can't even lift all of my textbooks at once. I'm sure my textbooks are at least thirty pounds each, so that makes me feel better. Oh, who am I kidding? I haven't lifted a textbook in a week. I would sure love to lift a box of pizza open right now. Stop thinking about food! It's time to start thinking of those fitness accounts I followed yesterday to motivate me. I will thank myself when I'm at the beach this summer.

8. Wow, of course I see them while I am drowning in my own sweat.

It's okay, maybe they didn't see me. Now they know I go to the gym. Maybe they'll say "hi" to me in class tomorrow. Oh, shoot. I have a project due for that class tomorrow...

9. Am I done yet?

Yes, I need to be done. I deserve a nice milkshake now.

10. Which one is my locker?

I'm pretty sure it was the one by the ice machine. Or is my locker inside by the lifting machines? Who let me have this much responsibility? I don't even remember my combination. It's my area code, I think. Oh shoot, it might be one-two-three. I can't stop thinking about Chanello's.

11. It's over. I did it.

I'd like to not only thank the person next to me on the treadmill for pushing me to do five more minutes, but also to the amount of chocolate I ate yesterday that forced me to come here. I would not be where I am without either of you. Ha. Look at these people walking in to start their workout. I get to go shower and lie in my bed.

Does this mean I'm done with the gym until next week? I'm definitely going to feel this in the morning...
