I was obsessed with this exed because of what happened last semester. This year the program changed a little bit as they divided physical fitness into four different categories; swimming, weight training, tennis, and running. I choose to focus on weight training because last semester it went well when I start doing cardio but I wanted to build more muscle for this semester. That was the initial goal for this semester; to lose more weight and get toned with muscle. However, as always, not everything goes in your way. I did face challenges that prevent me to achieve those goals. Commitment and patience still my challenges but it adds up with the time I need for school works and college applications that were not in the list last year. Because in my second year, everything got much busier and harder, this one is not an exception.
This semester I am not able to set up a good work out schedule. I have given the program and list of what I need to do by the faculty, but yet it is really hard to find time to do it. I have worse time management this semester than last year in general including workout schedule. The first month went pretty good as it was at the beginning of the semester, but as time goes by it gets harder and harder. I recognize my strength during the workout time as I am able to hold and show determination to do it well which is a very good feature of mine. But to start and put by the body in the gym is what hard for me. I can not find a good time to do it. In the morning it makes me anxious that I will get tired during the day. At night is impossible as I already got worn out with the busy day. so there is really no time to do it. This challenge makes it harder for me to grow and develop my skills in the gym. It feels like this semester I experienced a failure for this exed.
I gained weight as I keep consuming food because my brain needs nutritions but did not balance it with good exercise. I still go to the gym with the schedule but did not do anything significant and consistent enough to see the progress on it in my body. So this semester has been a disaster for me. during the time I wrote this reflection, I made a promise to myself to take this exed again next semester. I will prove to myself that I have the willpower to commit and make progress with this exed. I dare to challenge my body, mind, and time to force my self to have the time to do it. I will take this challenge and update the progress on my last post next semester. See ya till then! Adios~
P.S: here is two links to the playlists I usually listen to during my workout!
