Progress

I cancelled my internet connection for the apartment. And I joined a gym! There is a NY Sports Club right outside my office, across the street. My body is whispering to me "No excuse, ma'am!!" and so I must heed it. They had a special - join today on their anniversary, and the $129 initial fee was a big GOOSE EGG. Plus I got a neat backpack filled with goodies - earphones, a little towel, a water bottle... shweet. Boo-yaa! Even though I am fairly svelte, I am heavier than I look and I don't like the way I feel. Oh, that I could turn the clock back 5 or 6 years and have my six pack back! And 5-10 less pounds. ;) The only advantage to the indolent life is that I can actually have a bosom. The first time I shaped up, I (sadly) dropped a cup size down to an A cup - as if I needed to do that!! I'm not big as is, but did the fat really need to disappear from there?! Time and lethargy has helped get that back. But anyway... On the little information card that I had to fill out, it asked why I was joining. I wrote down "phys/mental wellness" - physical and mental wellness. The guy who gave me the tour and processed the application said that that was the best answer he'd seen on an application yet. Truly, my mind is not quite all it can be. I feel soft in the middle, sluggish - my core, my center, is not as strong as it can be. And the physical is affecting the mental. So, for my own peace of mind, I joined. I have a gym right across from me, and one by the train station in my town - less than 2 miles from me. Plus, my health insurance will refund me $200 if I go to the gym on the average of 1x/week. There are no excuses anymore for not making myself healthier and happier. Here's to wellness...
