staying fit and healthy this summer season

You ever drive past a gym and think... one day I'll join, just not now... well yesterday was my first day doing instead of just saying. Even my dad was surprised.

I'm hoping to go daily to become fitter and toned. This being said, I also need to have a diet plan instead of just drinking coffee and a snack at dinner help. If anyone has any tips I am more than open for suggestions.

I started out on the treadmill (I went in sets of 20 minutes, 20 minutes and 10 minutes) with my new playlist I created specifically for gym times (consisting of Drake, Biggie, Snoop, Eminem, AC/DC, Guns 'N' Roses, etc.) to keep me motivated, however I got tired 10 minutes in - weak I know - and almost died. Not really, but it felt like it.
I used this bike machine that literally felt like my legs were getting shredded.
And then I moved on to the leg press machine. A whopping 2kg heck yeah so strong!
He started me out on what was supposed to be the "easy" one - 4kg - which I couldn't even move, and struggled with 3 so I put it down to 2kg.
I'm aiming to go one up each week *fingers crossed*

Does anyone know if powerade is actually good or bad for you/workouts?

I'll do weekly updates on my gym progress with occasional photos ^_^
Stay tuned (and toned haHAA jk)

a quick introduction

My name is Deepika Vyas,

I'm 19 years old, 20 in exactly 25 days (and absolutely terrified, however I'll get to that later).

I'm the second daughter of four and two cats, they are the cutest. 

I love daffodils, dark chocolate and fireball whiskey. 

Country music is music for the soul. 

That being said, I literally listen to every genre under the sun. Help.

Horror movies are my weakness - regardless of if I cover my eyes for half of it. 

Elephants are my favourite animals as I admire their protective, intellectual and confident qualities. 

I'm almost 20 and feel like I've accomplished nothing. Sure I have a night job as a waitress, but other than that I've literally just graduated high school (two years ago). And have nothing. It terrifies me that I haven't found proper security and direction in my life. 

I love with everything in my heart & if I owned all the stars and the Suns, I would give them to my other half unconditionally.
Sometimes I think it's a curse to love so hard, but then I remember it's character building. At the end of the day just mere experiences and lessons, no matter how difficult and unforgiving the end may feel.

I'm emotionally driven, something I'm working on to better my future self. 

If you have problems that you can recognise, I believe there is absolutely no shame in sorting it out while you're young - rather than letting it shape who you will be as a person.

One day I will travel to Africa, after I visit Tenerife. 

I wish future me is able to help people.

And make them happy.
