I went to my first aerobics class in 6 months today.
What I like about the classes at this gym is that they vary from 30-45 minutes (well, the aerobics ones do anyway), instead of the knackered 50-60 minutes at the gym I used to go to. So it's a nice way to ease back into it.
I didn't wanna push myself so I only did one class today. It's not just the fact that I'm out of shape, I don't wanna put too much pressure on my foot. Which is feeling great.
OMG the shower room in this place is absolutely STUNNING! They are individual cubicles which are all granite and marble and so plush! I'm used to communal showers and a shoddy locker room. Everything is just so nice at this new place.
And I put on a hair mask today and my hair smells so damn good! Hehe!
I realise now how ripped off I was at the last place. Not only did you have the monthly fee, you had to pay every time you went. So if I do the math, I actually paid more to go to the gym before I moved to Tokyo. Which is crazy seeing as this new one is nicer, bigger, offers way more facilities, and you don't have to pay every time you go. Sweet.
And I shall be there again tomorrow. Ready to deal with the 'OMG there's a gaijin' stares once more!

What?!
I don't know what happened last night, but I couldn't sleep for shit.
A friend came over, we had a couple of beers and I was in bed by 12.30.
But then I woke up at 2am and just couldn't get back to sleep. I gave up at like 2.30am and just got up and started to watch some online TV. At 3.45am I decided to try and go back to sleep but it just wasn't happening....and it's really annoying.
Especially because I wanna start back at the gym today and now I feel really tired. I was gonna take 3 classes but I'm not sure...maybe I should just ease back into it and just do one 30minute class. I dunno though...30 mins seems so little...but I guess I should just wait and see how I feel when the class is done. It has been 6 months after all and i know for a fact that I am totally out of shape. Probably gonna be dying after the step class. Yah, I think I'll just do the one today. When I was signing up yesterday, the studios were absolutely rammed coz it's the weekend, so I think I wanna take advantage of the early morning classes during the week while I actually have time to do them.
Wish me luck!

I Did It!
I finally joined the gym today....and it took the best part of an hour!
So many forms and procedures and nonsense to go through! All in Japanese as well - man, I had to whip my dictionary out a couple of times because I just had no idea what the woman was going on about.
I really love this gym though. You all know how much I love my aerobics, dance and aqua classes and there is an AMAZING selection there. So I'm looking forward to getting started tomorrow.
It's gonna be like it was back in Karatsu though - constantly getting stared at. When the lady was showing me around the place, everyone seemed to just stop working out to take a good ol' gawp at the gaijin walking through. I got stopped along the way 6 times by people commenting that my legs were so long and I MUST be a model. LOL! If only they knew it isn't as easy as that!
Back to being the newbie! 3 other people were joining at the same time, btu being Japanese, I'm sure they will just blend right in. Back to those annoying first conversations and ignorant comments!
*sigh*

Woah
I just got phone call from someone I never thought I would speak to again.
I didn't recognise the number when it flashed up...but I sure as hell know that voice.
I was so shocked....and have been kind of left in a state of disbelief. Like, nothing came of the phone call - I'm not gonna meet this person or anything. It was just a call to see how I am and how I'm settling into Tokyo and didn't last any longer than 2 and a half minutes.
But it was just weird that I should hear from them after such a long time. And especially after so much has happened with us. I kinda wonder what the whole point was because there was no mention of seeing each other or anything like that. It was more like a good luck and take care of yourself call and that was it. So I can't help but think "why bother?"
Why did you call?
People do randomly call up people from time to time just to see how they are. I do it - I guess I just never thought that this person would, that's all. It's a surprise...but I guess i'm making too much out of it, でしょう？
Hmmmm.....

Bleurgh
No, don't think that I'm not going to join the gym today. I am still planning on doing it! But I was wondering if it was worth it to join today but not actually start working out until tomorrow. Wouldn't it be better to join on the day that I intend to start working out?
That makes more sense to me....
But I'll see how I feel later. Right now I'm feeling a lil bit sick.

Hmmmm...
Today is the day that I plan on joining the gym.
Really!
But I woke up and it's raining! Not that that should stop me, but it certainly makes me want to stay in! I'll hang out here for a bit...and then join later today. The place is open til midnight so I have plenty of time!
I feel like a burden has been lifted from my shoulders today! I woke up at like 6am when i finally realised what has been going wrong with something lately. I love it when you work something out!
Yay!!

Stress
When you're not given time to think about something properly, it ends up becoming really stressful.
You think one thing, but then something happens and you change your mind. Then you think about it some more and you think that you're OK with it. And then something happens and you change your mind again!
But when a decision is rushed, you change your mind a billion times before and even after you actually make it.
It does my head in.
So sick of bullshit.
