Lightbulb Guess who joined a gym yesterday?

Yup! It was me! I figured it was about time to get this lazy butt off the chair. I get two free trainer sessions, and my first is on Tuesday. What I like is that it's a HUGE gym, plus, if you like, it has a separate "circuit" like they have at Curves! I can't wait to start walk'n away the pounds! I hope I turn into a gym rat. hehehe

What I love is that it's like 3 minutes away! It's so close to home and school. That's what I need. I can't be going out of the way, or I'll never go!

I joined one too, but haven't had a chance to go in the past few weeks... this moving stuff has consumed my life!

I also get 2 free sessions with a trainer... I'm asking around for "who's best" before I book my sessions... and I need new gym clothes and shoes! SHOPPING!!!

Default you are great!

Well done you!! I see from your weight loss chart that you are flying.
I also went for an assessment last week with a gym instructor-I was no sooner in the door than I wanted to go home!!
I deduced that it was just not my thing and have joined aqua aerobics and lane swimming instead.Sure I suppose its all exercise and its important to do what you are comfortable with!
Keep it up Miss Sylph!!

Default Woohoo!

There is nothing like finding your inner athlete - you know??

All kidding aside, the gym is soooooo good for you - beyond the weight loss. I have learned that when things are tough, I can run or bike and feel so much better - more clear too. Used to be that was a box of chocolate chip cookies and I'd be more confused than ever.

And you'll look fabulous!!!

Go girl - you need anything, let me know!!

I've gone twice so far. Yesterday, and today. Today I had my first free trainer session. I liked it! I wish I could afford a trainer, but it's $500 for 12 sessions. Does that sound ridiculously high to anyone? I have one more free session on Friday.

Good for you Nichole. I joined about a month ago, but just last week started going regularly. Maybe we'll become obsessed with exercising instead of food.
