Trimming Down, Pts 1 & 2
Jun. 16th, 2004 06:15 pmPart 1 -- For several years I went regularly to a high-intensity weight training gym, where clients work out exclusively with trainers. It was an amazing experience, and after a year or so I was more fit than I had ever been in my life -- and one of the strongest women in the gym. (Hard to believe for a sedentary bookworm!)
I have fallen far from those glory days. (The place was expensive and I was seriously underemployed.) The good news is that my favorite trainers from that gym were hired to open a new gym that does one-on-one training but also includes cardio as part of the program and has a nutritionist on staff as well as a cooking instructor. I called today and will start on Tuesday. They are even willing to wait until a week or so later, after I get my first 'new' paycheck, to charge me.
I am sick and tired of being as overweight as I am. I'm going to be 40 in December and my goal is to be the best shape I've ever been by my 40th b-day -- or at least significantly on my way there.
Part 2 -- I have become seriously addicted to LJ, and I'm going to need to cut down my Friends list in order to reduce the amount of time I spend online. I simply don't have the time to keep up with all the entries and still have time to be with my child, take care of my house, and etc. There aren't that many people on my list, but many are serious writers, and it takes time to read, digest and respond the way I wish. (I love it -- don't get me wrong!) Unfortunately, this means that I don't have time to read everyone who has intrigued and/or entertained me during these past few months.
