Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I feel so relieved right now, even if other things are happening. But first things first, I've been meaning to make this entry since last week. We went to the gym for the first time! My sister Christian got a membership at the Planet Fitness they just opened, and she can take along one person. After a bit of difficulty over the time we chose to go, we made it there, and it was different. We started on the treadmill, and stayed on it for 15 minutes. I could have gone longer, but I was ready to try something different. (Walking is my specialty, you know.) But I had a moment on the treadmill. There was a 'stop' button, so I assumed it would automatically stop. Haha, no. I wasn't sure it was going to do what I thought it would anyway, so I tried to move my feet to the outside of the treadmill. My right foot got the memo, but my left foot... I ended up with it behind me on the belt, doing a serious stretch. Pfft.

Next, we hit up the bikes. We stayed on those for another 15 minutes, then
I got the bright idea to get on something that I'm not even sure of what it was. I stayed on that thing for 5 minutes, even though I was ready to get off after 2. Chris wanted to try a hydro massage, so she did. She told me I should, but I was pretty much ready to go by then. We would have been there even longer because she wanted to try this full body toning thing, but apparently you have to get pretty close to naked for it to be very effective. That aside, I hope that we can make this a regular thing in the future.

So, I have not mentioned this at all, but back in December, I got a fortune cookie that said that I'd see a friend from the past soon. Guess what happened a week or two later? It was a bittersweet moment that freaked me out, and has been weighing on me since. I was devastated at the less than warm reply I got when I attempted to make my wants known. I was afraid that this might be the last time I was able to speak to this person, and left a huge message. Then avoided reading his reply because I was afraid and didn't know what to expect. When I finally did read it though, I think I cried tears of relief. I say think, because anytime I talk to this person, it seems my emotions are very heavy. I still don't know what happens after this, though.
