Strive For Progress Not Perfection

I joined a gym a week ago. Mainly to build up my core strength after the accident. I need to strengthen my back. Since I’m still struggling with lifting and stationary standing. The gym I joined give one complimentary session with a personal trainer. So, I used the opportunity to get his expertise on what exercises to do. He showed me some weight machines that will target those particular muscles. So, for the past week I’ve challenged myself to do a daily exercise regime of 30 minutes on the treadmill, 30 minutes of weights followed by 30 minutes on the bike.

 I honestly do feel its being beneficial. I feel I can move easier and muscles hurt which I didn’t know I had. So, I think that’s good. I need to also lose 40 pounds but I’m not concentrating on that since the trainer said as I build up muscles, I’m not likely to lose much weight and I don’t want to feel disappointed in myself.

Last night I started watching The Umbrella Academy on Netflix. 

Many people had recommended it, so I thought id give it a whirl. I wasn’t too sure by the first episode, but by episode 3 I was hooked. I really love Diego and Klaus. They are my favourite characters. I ended up watching 5 episodes since K decided to go to bed at 8pm. It was my only evening off for the next week and since K preferred to sleep rather than spend time with me. I at least got to hang out with the trusty tv.
