Week One, Day 1: The Beginning

Hi! My name is Nana and today was my first day at the gym!
Before I tell you about that i'm going to tell you a little about myself, and my reason to go to the gym...

My real name is Mariana, I'm 16 years old and I live in Setúbal, Portugal. The truth is I hate myself, looking at that strange person in the mirror, I want to rip off my skin to see my true self. 
After many failed attempts of making me feel prettier I decided to put a stop on the judgemental eyes of old women who think I am a pregnant teenager and started working out! 

Currently I am 1,82m and I weight 85Kg which is still overweight, and working out at home wasn't working (because I'm sooo lazy!) so I saved up some money and entered this gym near my house! I went there today, in the late afternoon walking in a quick pace, literally trembling with excitement and nervousness, thinking in more that a thousand what if's, imagining the worst scenarious, millions of conversations that might go wrong, and as I climbed up the stairs I barely could stand up.
Nevertheless the instructor was super nice, he gave me a lot of information, asked me a lot of questions, and better, made me feel comfortable, like I was in a familiar place!

We started with a simple warm up, 15 minutes in the standing bike, then a musculation device for my arms, I did 2 series of 15 in the 5Kg mark. After that came the paddling (?) exercice, for my legs, again 2 series of 15 each, and the treadwalk which was very confusing for me who was not used to it at all, and when I walked out of it I was reallyyyy dizzy! I did more musculation devices for my legs, again all 2 series of 15 and finished with some gymnastics to calm the muscles!

Thank you for putting up with me, I am really looking foward to tomorrow!
Nana
