This past week FLEW. I think I got tired of waiting. It was time. I wasn’t using my elliptical nearly as much as I should (read: EVER), and all of my DVDs? They’re collecting dust. Not good.
I used to work at the YMCA locally, and I loved it…but I never actually worked out while I worked their-I think I was just ready to go home. BUT, I loved the environment. So Monday, I joined a gym.
I sucked it up, put the elliptical on Craigslist and walked into the Y with card in hand. I had some very bad memories of being in the gym and feeling intimidated. I really need to get out of my head. Badly.
For those of you who are new to my working out updates, I am following The Trim Healthy Mama Plan in addition to using Le-Vel supplements, which is why you’ll see letters in parenthesis behind my meals.
