go to the gym on a regular basis

My Gym membership expired a few days ago and I did not re-up. They did give me a bunch of free passes to come back and visit, though. That was nice of them. :)

go to the gym and lose a good twenty pounds.
I know my boyfriend might not like it, but he will when he SEES how sexy I look!

i have moved half way across the country and dont have too many friends yet. this makes gymming hard for me. i need an accountability partner or i wont do it. however, a new purchase of a full length mirror has inspired me to make an effort. a friend of mine recently had a baby but she said shell be going back to the gym soon. weve made plans to do this together and were planning on trying out a yoga class the gym is offering.

I really HAVE done it – several times in the past six years. I have gone in and out of getting to the gym regularly and I do weigh less now than when I first went in 2002.

I will leave this on my list for another couple months – until my membership expires in late November – and see if I can add a few more entries to this by then.

This goal seems like drugery now. I have a lot of other ways to exercise these days, so specifically GOING to the overcrowded, weird-smelling, uncomfortable gym around the corner is just not all that attractive to me anymore.

My goal for the next 2 months is to just go anyway once a week. Maybe on Wednesdays. That would mean I have to go today. OK. I was going to go out and walk a mile in a few minutes anyway—I guess I can do that on the treadmill instead.

When my gym membership expires, I will call this done and put up some kind of new fitness goal. I’ll have to think about how to word it so that it can include all the different ways I have found to work up a sustainable sweat. =]

It’s too hot.

Plus, the gym smells weird and they don’t have any of the classes that I would totally take if they had them AND I have to climb a flight of stairs just to get to the treadmills. . . AND I have a whole list of reasons not to go.

Maybe they’re excuses. It really doesn’t matter—I do get plenty of exercise elsewhere. I would take this “goal” off my list, simply for lack of interest at this point, but I’d like to go enough so as not to waste my membership fees.

So, every day would count, right?!

I have been getting up at 6:20 and going to the gym every day before work. It’s working out great!

Oh, that was a pun. Ha!

My energy level is way up, and my skin is not as dry, but I’m not getting on the scale until some clothing feels loose.

... that I already spent the money so I could get in better shape, this goal laughs at me from the screen, but I am outsmarting it now.

I figure I spent the money on myself. I wanted to give myself the gift of fitness. So does it matter where I get the fitness? NO. It makes no difference whether I walk around the Zoo or the mall or my neighborhood; or if I ride horses; or do T’ai Chi or dance Hip Hop! If I’m moving, I’m exercising.

Plus, my skin has this special way of telling me when I’m creating enough heat to induce fitness. It cools itself down by pushing water to its surface, causing evaporation. Uh, yeah – sweat. So if I work up a sweat and I keep going for at least 20 minutes, I’m doing fine. I don’t want to share the gym with all the resolutioners right now, anyway!

i used to gym with paige… we got lazy and stopped going… paige has renewed her membership and bought new gym shoes… maybe that will motivate me to do the same

Two months since I’ve been to the gym. Hmmm.

Well, I went today and I’m going to try to go back every day for a half hour walk on the treadmill. Sometimes it seems silly to use the gym only for walking when I have perfectly good sidewalks right here in my neighborhood, but there are a lot of dogs in this neighborhood that sit in their front yards waiting for someone to run by so they can give chase. I have no interest in being mauled, and the gym is right around the corner.

After a while, I will get back on those other machines, maybe join one or two of the classes, and make more use of the pool, but for right now I feel comfortable just walking.

Anyway, I need to get my climbing legs ready for hiking the mountains on Hawaii’s Big Island. That is in 19 days!!!! I’m so excited!

No excuses. Gym changes your body and keeping it in a good shape it is something I am interested in.

Start going after job. No excuses. Follow the plan.

Eat protein.
