Ok, I'm going to the gym...now

Alright, enough procrastinating...time to go use the gym membership I've been paying for and not using for (mumbled, under my breath) at least two years. Time to stop the mental masturbation about the workout plans I concoct and how good I'll feel and actually go DO!!

I can do this, I've done it before and know that the first weeks are tough, but then it gets to the point where it feels weird NOT to exercise.

Okay...shoes are on, off I go

Let me know how it goes when you get back!

Oh and I've done the same before! Paying monthly fees not going :(

Hahahah, I think we've all done that. Start off slow so you don't discourage yourself, build up your time and the amount of exercising you do. :-)

Thanks for the encouragement! Workout was good...nothing crazy, 25 min of cardio and then some crunches, push-ups, planks and squats (all of which proved how far down the rabbit hole I'd gone)...but, I'm happy I went.

I have 2 month-long passes to barre method classes, (which are supposedly great toning and conditioning classes that integrate interval training, isometrics, and dance conditioning and have similarly ardent supporters like Cross-Fit) that I plan to use beginning in July as I can tend to get bored with the same ol', same ol'...we shall see :-)

I saw masturbation in the original post..lost track after that :P

Go go!! Get your workout on!!!

I like to pretend I am squeezing fat cells out when I push myself.

Lol...I can see how that could serve to distract!! I just love that term, and find it fitting for some of my thought processes as well as others :-).
