Put up or shut up!

Hello, hello!

Wow! I took a big, but good, step today! You ready for this?

I'm a gym member! I went into American Family Fitness, got a tour, and signed up! It's only going to be $25/month! Also, that $25 includes all their classes. I'm pretty excited! Including last month's payment and processing fee, it's only going to be $80 to get started! I know that seems like much, but compared to other gyms in the area, that is SO cheap! The owner isn't going to charge my account until Friday, and thank God for that! I told her I don't get paid til then, and she was totally cool with it! And as a bonus, she threw in two free training sessions and a massage therapy session! How cool is that? Oh! There isn't a contract either! It's a month-to-month deal. I can cancel whenever I want! :]

So, why join a gym, Dani? A few reasons! One, I want to get my blood sugars and my A1C down. Two, my cousin is getting married in June, so I kinda want to look cute for that! Three, I want to be able to shop for cute clothes!! I'm tired of having to buy large-sized shirts to accommodate my waist size, then my shirt is gaping open at the top because of the lack of chest! And four, I haven't had a consistent activity level since marching season 2005! SAD.

My goal is to lose about 25 to 30 pounds. Totally doable! I just need to get my butt in gear and just go work out! Two or three days a week isn't that bad! And it's right next to Planet Tan...so maybe after a few work outs I can go tanning? Only if I can afford it though! I can't overdo it!

I've begun working on my fitness....now it's time to work on my diet. Any suggestions, lovelies? I don't always have time to cook, so any tips are helpful!

Time for homework. And before you ask, yes, school is still not there for me! UGH.


Later Days!
Dani
