Entry #8 (Returning back to the Gym)

                    It was almost the end of my spring 2014 school break. The sun was settling down. My young brother and I were heading back  home from my aunts house. It was so much fun staying up all night with my cousins. While I was trying to concentrate on the road, I noticed that my brother was giving me some serious looks. "What's up?, why you look so pissed of ?", I asked. " man, do you want to stay like that ?" he asked. "What you mean?!"I responded with a little anger. "Dude, you didn't used to be like this two years ago. Do you realize how much weight you gained? look at you ! you have a belly! Go hit the gym back bro, go back to what you used to be! I do not want to see you suffer weight problems just like me". I was so moved by the respond I got back from him to the point I unconsciously had some tears going down. After getting home, I walked quickly to my room so no one can notice me. I was so mad and angry at myself. After I started college, my number one excuse for not reaching the gym was "I have a lot of homework, I got no time for that". Somewhere inside me I knew I was making up that excuse, and I always had time for the gym. Since the day I left the gym, I never felt healthy nor comfortable with the way I walk, eat, sit, sleep, I can't even count them. I knew I hated my life because if it. While I was in the middle of my thoughts staring at the wall on my right side, someone opened the rooms door. When I turned my head back o look behind me, it was my brother. For a couple of seconds we starred at each other and finally his lips move. "Look! we both are going to the gym, OK?" with a sharp look on his eyes he stares at me waiting for an answer. That is when I made the decision to go back to the gym, but this time not only for myself but to my brother. I want to be a good role model for him. I do not want to show him that his older brother gives up easily. Next day, we both went to the LAfittness center and signed up. I had been attending the gym for a month and through that month I struggled a lot to get my body used to the workout, but I know that will totally pay of at the end. Thank you brother for awakening the beast inside me, we will do it both together.
