## Fitness

In August I returned to the gym after 4ish years of not really exercising much at all. I've always had a difficult relationship with fitness and exercise. I've never really been fit and everytime I tried to change that, I set goals that were far too ambitious and then failed to meet them, at which point I would give up, because what's the point of doing something unless I can do it perfectly? This time, though, I've made it my goal to just get in the gym and exercise 3 times a week. It's been great so far. I've been pretty consistent with going, missing only two weeks, once when I was sick and once when I was out of town. I am starting to see some progress, though I haven't made any efforts to track it, I notice I am sleeping better and have more energy. I don't always feel like going to the gym but I am always glad I forced myself to go.
