Funny thing, I thought I was going to stop at 25, I told a few friends that I was going to stop after day 25 because of a lack of energy and the Christmas one was a good place to stop for the time being (In case I wanted to pick up the remaining days later on, after another break.) Then I got curious and looked at what I would have chosen from the list of prompts and I couldn't get this mental image out of my head. So I ended up drawing it, and the picture came out great! I guess I'm going to keep this fat rat moving for a few more days. Might as well finish them all at this point!

Day Twenty-Six: (Prompt used: “Activity”)
“Why am I even here?” Cheekers thought as he followed the instructor’s moves, “I’m the fattest person here, and the chick right beside me is a literal elephant!” Cheekers had no idea what he was getting into when he joined the Aerobics class, other than it was a one-time deal that was free-to-the-public, so first timers can join in without having to worry about making a commitment or having to pay an expensive membership subscription…
Cheekers knew he was going softer and softer as the month continued. He was gaining weight since mid-autumn, and he realized that it may hit a point of no return if he didn’t take any action to at least slow it. As much as he wanted to eventually become the fattest rat around, he just liked the idea of moving around too much to fully commit to being a massive blob that can’t leave the room. A free aerobics class might not have been the right choice to someone so out of shape, but at the same, there wasn’t that many options to choose from to begin with.
“...And a five! Six! Seven! Eight! And hold, and we’re done!” the instructor chanted as they finished the set of reps. “I’d like to give a round of applause to all of the first-timers here, especially that gray rat in the blue and orange. You kept up without missing a beat, and I’d love it if you considered joining us again!”
Cheekers wasn’t expecting praise from the instructor, and that led them to have a conversation as the class started to leave.
“Was that really true?” Cheekers asked, “I didn’t feel like I was keeping up, and I’m one of the largest guys here!”
“Yes it’s true, I’m all too familiar with people showing up to either one of the free-entry nights or paying for a year’s subscription, and they start passing out and dropping like flies because they were not ready for this kind of movement.” The instructor said, placing a hand on Cheekers’ shoulder, “From what I can see, you are already somewhat active and possibly want to kick things up a notch.”
“Yeah, I mostly walk everywhere, and I used to be smaller than this, this fall and winter has been a little bit harsher than usual when it comes to the seasonal weight gain.” Cheekers admitted, “I wanted to see if I had what it takes before I take up a friend’s offer to become their exercise buddy.”
“Ah, I see. Well, I think you have nothing to worry about. Just as long as you keep the holiday calories at a minimum, you’ll do great.”
Unfortunately, Cheekers went home and celebrated with excessive amounts of pizza and soda, as old habits do die hard. That’s something he might have to have to fix on his own at a later date.
