Day 1:

Starting from zero was the most demoralizing thing in the world. You had to face how weak you were, how far you had to go, and you had to find the strength to continue anyway. In twisted irony, it required far MORE strength than lifting hundreds of pounds, just of a wildly different kind.

It was easier for Amy because she hadn't always been at zero. She'd just... fallen there. Easier because she knew she could do it... but harder because she was also ashamed. Pumping pathetic little five pound weights... she was supposed to be better than that.

But she had to do this to get there.

Three sets of seven, to represent her 21 days.

Then she'd pause.

Drink some milk...

And try some sets of ten instead.

Or perhaps going up to ten pounds at least. The dumbells felt a little lighter than they should.
