Just a Tuesday
I met my mother in law at the gym this morning. We started going together 2 weeks ago. Last week I was away though, so I missed my gym time with her. I did a lot of walking everywhere we stopped during the trip to try and compensate for my missing the gym. (I went sailing for a week from Ft. Laurderdale, FL to Beaufort, NC).
Last year I was working with a personal trainer to slim down before my wedding in January. I lost a total of 8 pounds in 3 months, it was great! But now, I've gained some of it back, and don't want to pay for a trainer any more, and instead of going to the YMCA like I was doing, I joined Planet Fitness - for 2 reasons.
1. It's 1/4 the monthly cost
2. It's LITERALLY 2 buildings over from my house.
(and C. because I need to work out, duh)
Yeah, number 2 is AWESOME. For years there was this abandoned retail space 2 lots over from our house. But last year PF moved in! I mean, aside from living in a condo complex with a gym, or having a gym in your house, it couldn't be more convenient. Or inexcusable NOT TO GO. Plus is makes the neighborhood look nicer :)
So now I go. Getting out of bed at 5:45 and walking to the gym and back feels pretty awesome, I gotta say. But I'm also so TIRED at that time, but I try to push through it. It's so much easier than going after work. After work I cook, run errands, walk the dog and take care of the house.
So my goal is to hit the gym every week day morning. I missed yesterday because it was my first nights sleep in my bed, with my husband, in over a week. So I'll try to do something on the weekend, but we're supposed to go camping. In thunderstorms. And the campers broken. So hoepfully we won't go and I can go to the gym and visit some friends instead.
Any who! this site seems really quiet. And I'm terrible with blogs, or diaries, journals, all of it. But it can't hurt to keep trying :)
