go to the gym more

So much for cost effectiveness! LOL I started picking up more work about the time of my last entry, and have been busy enough that I’ve hardly thought about the gym. Too bad I didn’t cancel my membership around that time…

Still about as busy now, but maybe after my next layoff. The winter may give me more free time – or it may not. Depends on how much it snows. But once a week is still my workout goal.

Let’s see. I’ve had my gym membership since January, and I need to use it four times per month in order for my monthly membership to be more cost-effective then a drop-in fee. I really didn’t use it from Jan-May, other than to reduce the price of dance classes. So that means I need to use it 5×4 = 20 times to get my money back out of it. (Beyond the once per week I currently have as a goal.)

Have gone to the gym twice in two weeks, the first time with my GF. (So the “having a partner” theory is valid! LOL) Once a week is not a bad average for me, and a perfectly valid short-term goal.

I will keep this as a “goal” until I’ve been doing this regularly for a while…

I’ve recently started dating someone who goes to the gym regularly. Well, not since we started dating!! LOL But we’d like to go together, and my gym had childminding available, so having a partner to do this with on a regular basis would be a big motivator.

I’m chatting with a girl who is very physically active, spending time with her would be the #1 easiest way to do this regularly. Right now, it’s not at all… :c( Thus far, I have failed miserably in this goal!! LOL

Signed up at the Y, went for the initial consultation with a trainer, made a five-week plan…and have yet to go back, about two months later!! :c(

This is probably my hardest goal – at least, of the ones I have any control over…(There are a few that require the involvement of others.)

Even once a week would be enough. I know this from experience. Besides, once a week would be an accomplishment, given how hard giong the first time can be.

Oh look, I have a complimentary one-week pass in my pocket…No excuses, I guess!! LOL
