Stupid gym. I've wanted to go for months and have only been going once a month. For various stupid reasons....
- I didn't want to be one of those New Year's resolutionists everyone complains about at the gym, crowding the place for the first few weeks of the year. Really? That was really a reason I didn't go to the gym? Because of something someone wrote in an article or a blog? Stupid reason.
- I didn't want to go because we had over a foot of snow and driving was a bitch at the very least, hazardous at most. Ok, good reason.
- I didn't want to go because I'm fat. Really, that was one of my reasons not to go to the gym and exercise. In my defense, do you know that place is wall-to-wall mirrors? I really regretted my decision to wear hot pink horizontal stripes today.
So now I've got a battle plan for the gym.
- Load up the Ipod with more Stargate Atlantis. Buy the next season and only watch it at the gym.
- Choose an elliptical further from the wall o' mirrors next time.
- And no more stripes.

Good for you for finding some inspiration! Great idea to only watch episodes on the elliptical as motivation. (I've been saving my People magazines to read on the crossramp. :))
LOL! I can identify with the first excuse. That's funny.
And I am so aware of all of those mirrors. I don't mind if I'm looking at proper form, but I hate them when I'm trying to figure out Zumba steps -- I don't need a reminder of what a fat goof-ball I look like.
i haven't been back yet.... Monday i worked a 12 hr day unexpectedly and then couldn't get wound-down enough to get to bed at a decent hour after getting home after 8 p.m... i'm hoping to go again tomorrow. we shall see!
and someone saw my mcdonald's lunch Monday and asked if i was going to tell on myself.... so here i am! i had mcdonald's for lunch Monday! sigh... it's a process, people.
