Baby steps...again

A week ago we joined a gym. An expensive gym. I am feeling a little guilty. I only really use cardio equipment so I could join Evolve, again, even though I hated the place. However DQ went down to check out the really nice gym and came home with two memberships. DQ wanted a place with a pool and this is the only gym around with a pool - on the second floor no less!

I went for the first time the day after we joined and went two more times during the week. Then this morning I tried my first ever Spin class. It was quite a work-out. It was not really what I expected. You may be thinking to yourself "what did you expect from a spin class?" It was a lot more up and down off the bike as well as adding (and taking away) resistance. I will take a spin class again and one day I would like to keep my butt off the seat as much as everyone else!

My goal for the upcoming week is as follows: it is Friday night right now so my goal for the weekend is to work out at least once, if not twice this weekend. Maybe just a walk tomorrow as my knee is hurting. I hyperextended it getting off the bed this evening. Ouch.

As for the rest of the week I hope to work out M, W, and Fr. DQ will go to the gym on Tu and Th. I am a little worried about losing momentum by not going every day. When I had success last time I was going to the gym almost everyday. But hopefully the desire to lose weight will out weigh (haha) any loss of momentum.

I will briefly check in again on Monday, my new weigh in day.

til then -
