Well, I went to the gym last night. I received a 7 day free trial to the new Gold's Gym that opened up about 1 1/2 miles from my house, so I decided to go try it out. Even though I belong to another gym, which is just 1 mile from my house, I figured a change of scenery might be nice. Well, now I'm thinking about joining the Gold's gym too. It was really really really nice.

I went into the "cardio" room. It is a huge room with a freaken movie theater in it. Its like being at the movies, with surround sound and its dark. I jumped on the eliptical and before I knew it, I was into the movie and looked down and had done 45 min on the eliptical. Burned almost 400 calories. I loved that!

The bad thing is they do not have a "family plan" like my other gym does, so if I join, I will have to just join and pay additional and keep my membership at my other gym too so I can go with my family when they go.

Even though they rarely go......my 16 year daughter has been going a lot lately. She just won't get up in the mornings with me. I need a morning partner to help encourage me to get up!

My weight this morning was less than yesterday. I seem to be dropping again.

wt 168.1

My exercise plans for today are:

Exercise - 10am 20 min on eliptical

Exercise - 3pm - 20 min on eliptical

Exercise - 9:30 pm - 30 min on eliptical

Next week I will focus on getting back to stregth training 2 to 3 days a week. I will still need to do 5 days of cardio but I do need to add my strength training in.

How is it you can go on the eliptical so many times a day?

I have a gym right here at my office, I'm on the 4th floor and the gym is on floor 1. Its free and available to all employees. I can take a few breaks and go down there and do a quick 15 or 20 min to get my matabolism going. I just need to do it more often.

Then at night, I like to go to my gym by my house. Its open 24 hours so I have no excuse not to go.
