Joined a local small-town gym a week ago...went 5 days...3 worked out with treadmill and then the full curcuit of weight machines (13 of the suckers). My SIL and I joined together and it's much better with someone who can encourage you to go. Then on two days we just do cardio and the stomach torture machine.
What's fun is my SIL. She's grown up in this area and most of the women are baby boomers and so once we get in there they want to gossip and talk about grandkids...we're there about 2 hours or so...half the time talking to other women...it's a lot of fun and a great break from the everyday stuff AND I'm getting healthier...I hope. I've also thrown out all the junk food, fat food and chips...
I'm now making better choices with food and here's the kicker. I had Larry take a photo of me in my underwear and taped it inside the fridge...now whenever I open the fridge door not only do I get a laugh, I also am reminded why I'm doing all of this. The other day my MIL was here and she went to the fridge to get some milk for her coffee...before I could stop her she opened the door, saw the photo and closed the door. She hasn't stopped laughing yet and it's been a week. Thank goodness I had on granny panties...LOL.
