Not easy, to just do nothing
July 22nd, 2004 by Sarin
I started going to the gym earlier this month, and at the time it was easy to just wing it and lift. When I was at school I only went to the gym probably twice a week, but that was better because I was able to rest most of it off. Once I started working again, I got back into the habit of going to this gym that I went to last summer, and things usually start off fine.
The first week was alright, because it only gave me discomfort after I lifted, natural body adjustment. Then I got broken in, and didn’t get sore after workouts. Then after that I started getting sore in the middle of a workout. It was easy to figure out that I wasn’t resting enough.
In my head I’m used to lifting hard, but I probably didn’t leave enough room for rest. I think the three week break in period was delayed simply because I don’t sleep enough and I try not to take days off in between. Except for the weekend, I told myself to make it an effort to be there everyday, and soon I would start losing these pounds.
After week 3 I am still sore and physically tired because I spend more time in the gym than I should considering my almost non physical condition. I have an office job, so to spend that hour of the day killing myself does not adjust easily. I have a second wind at night, so I forget to go to sleep early…which I need because I could feel my muscles feel one step better the next morning. But I kept sleeping in, night after night, because I am such a night owl. Heck, I am even bound to do it tonight because I don’t know any better.
Back towards the end of May, my only explanation as to why I suprisingly lost my gut was because I was sleeping alot. Hey I had nothing to do, and I didn’t have a job.
With that suprising change I could only think that I did nothing, and it worked. My body was just running along the system, and the sleep gave it enough time to just burn stuff away. I really did nothing.
But it’s hard to just do nothing these days. By the time the day is somewhat over, I eat, shower and the night begins all over again. At that point it is probably 7 o clock and sleep should come sometime soon. I want to sleep, but I really would want to do something else.
Why is it so hard to do just nothing and sleep?
