Gym membership

Today I actually went and signed up for a gym membership at the gym I previewed. I found out that several people from my work go there too, though most of them are (YUCK) morning work-out-ers so I will never see them. Coworker Amanda joined today too, and she is an evening work-out-er so maybe we can make some play dates or something. I really require peer pressure to keep up an exercise regimen, which is why I need a gym that offers a lot of aerobics classes. When I just go by myself and use machines, I always manage to talk myself out of doing more work.

I even did a little working out today! I figured since I've been living the life of a sloth for the last year or so that I should start slow, so I just did 45 minutes of speed-walking on the treadmill and then fled home to watch "American Idol." I will probably do the same thing tomorrow just to get into the swing of things. I have an appointment at 6:00 on Thursday to meet with one of their trainers to show me all of the machines and stuff, so that should be fun, too. Then I can start picking and choosing what classes I want to go to, and maybe I can con Amanda into going to one with me. (I'm never sure with the people I work with, I always feel so out of sync with them. I used to think Amanda didn't really like me but maybe I'm wrong. Who knows?)

I've been doing a lot of thinking and I really hope I can keep all of this up. I'd like to get back into better shape and I really need to stop eating so much crap food (especially at staff meetings and on weekends). I want to be a healthier person when we start spawning and who knows? Maybe if I get into super shape and get all my body crap sorted out I'll change my mind about having babies and trying to go through all of that fertility drama. It would take some of the heat off of Jennifer since I think she is majorly pregnancy-paranoid (and I'm not).

Wow, this is totally random. I'm sad that the "American Idol" try-outs are almost done, because those are my favorite!
