One Year and 22 Days: Gotta Move On

Update: didn't weigh myself today...

Well.. I did something drastic yesterday... I got a membership to GoodLife Fitness (for the second time ever) - I figure this time I might actually use it because it's not a two-bus ride to get there, in fact it's just down the street. My motivation at using the school gym is waning and it's getting annoying having to take my backpack and my gym bag with me on crowded subways and then having to bring them home almost immediately because I stink the damn clothes up with sweat. And considering school ends in about a month, I think this is a good time to switch over to something closer.

I looked at a fancier gym too, but the expense was just way too much ($100/month). I have to admit I did consider it for a while with their steam, sauna and whirlpool rooms and the fact that it wasn't packed in there... but alas, I went for the cheaper one - way less 'elitist' in there anyway. And the free massage chairs don't hurt.

After signing up I didn't really have enough time to go home and come back and still have time to exercise, so I decided I would go bright and early before class. So today, that is exactly what I did (finally! actually doing something I say I'll do). It was great... elliptical for about 30minutes, recumbent bike for about 20minutes and then free weights and a couple weight machines. It felt good to be back. I am seriously going to make use of it because I can't afford not to.

I only had one class today, so I decided I would just stay home. School is bumming me out lately, I stayed home yesterday too (only one class) and rearranged my bedroom and have begun to actually make this condo feel more like home - finally things are coming together. It's funny how just putting up a couple of pictures on the wall can do that. Feels good.

Later on I have my first appointment with the doctor - it's my goal to ask him about my knee so we can get an official diagnosis and perhaps some physical therapy if it warrants it. I'm excited! Wish me luck that he's neither creepy nor incompetent...

Alright, have a great day...
