The Gym Membership!

Three days ago my friend called me while I was at work. She didn't want to work out she whined, she was already laying down in bed and maybe instead she would take a nap? I told her that if she worked out that I would get up amazingly early (7am!!) and go to the gym and work out. She was out of bed and changing clothes before I finished my offer.

That night I poked around the Internet and found a work out routine and wrote out my exercises on a piece of paper. The next morning I got up early and went to the gym and it was good. I felt awkward working out, rusty and unpracticed. I was self conscious and hesitant with some of the machines but I did it.

And then I did it again this morning!

I've lost 10 pounds since moving here which is wonderful and more weight than I've lost in ages but... I think it's more important that I've also lost my sedentary habits. I walk to work, walk to bus stops, walk to restaurants and the grocery store and the rec center. I hike at night on rim trails and wander through the forest.

Life is good.
