To gym or not to gym

May 05, 2010

I have been slacking more than I'd like on th exercise lately.  I have been totally pooped when getting off work.  I realize it is because of the long hours and several things on my plate right now.  But I have to be good to myself.  Only thing sucks bad is that it is SO freaking hot down here, and summer hasn't even started.  Like hell do I want to go walk around a track  at 5pm in the HEAT with the two kids driving me crazy.  So I thought about a gym membership.  they are air conditioned and have a pool - which would be nice to do some casual swimming with the boys (rain or shine - since it's indoor) during the summer.  Also offer childcare up to two hours per day each time you go - all for only $14/month for the two kids.  can't beat that with a stick!  So I am really debating it now.  But thing is do I really want to spend the extra money on it?  I have SO many other things the money could be used for. 

I really think having the membership where I am PAYING for it would make me even more motivated to get there and work out daily - cuz I am NOT paying for something I don't use...EVER!  I think if I can kick it in gear, my last 20-30 pounds may come off pretty easy.  I haven't really done any major exercising since surgery - here and there, yeah - but not steady with it.

I think I will end up getting a membership - just because I HAVE to take care of myself.  i keep putting myself last and on the back burner, but I HAVE to do this for me.  That's why I started this journey, right?
