litheraI'm to that point again where I'm thinking about joining a gym.
It comes and goes aroudnd this time of the year.
And I know myself. I know myself and I hate it. I know I'll start out well. I know I'll start out well but something will come up and I'll make excuses and I'll start skipping days and then stop going all together.
So. I need to sit down and have a long talk with myself.
The 24 Hour Fitness at the bottom of the hill is tempting. They have a pool.
I need to sign up for more tennis classes with Josh because I can be active. I can do this. I do enjoy some activities. I just need to remember that I DO actually like doing these things.
Treadmills suck. Tennis is awesome. Ellipticals suck. Bowling is awesome. There is a lesson here but no matter what, it helps if I have a partner or five. It is easier for me to do these things with company.
And it's because I need the competition. I do better and try harder when there is competition, someone to be pushed by or to push in front of me.
I'm eating healthier, I'm getting more active but it isn't enough. Not yet.
I need more clothes I feel comfortable going to the gym in. And maybe a swim suit but that's something of a step right now.
Oi. This has wandered all over the place. Like I said, I need to talk to myself some more.
