« He's Well Trained ;-) | Main | »
I'm currently waiting around at work for a client to email something back to me. As soon as he does, I can file the brief du jour, go home, change into workout clothes, and head to the gym.
Oh yeah, that's right... I got a gym membership. For $20 a month. Because I am awesome like that.
(Okay, the secret is that TS belongs to sort of a bare bones gym, at least for this area. Bare bones = maybe a dozen or so cardio machines, which do not have individual televisions, but still a pretty kick-ass weight room. We just learned that you can add someone onto your plan for just $20 a month, so tada! Gym membership for me!)
In our effort to not turn into complete blobs, or at least blobbier than we currently are, TS and I are going to attempt to get to the gym 5-6 times a week. That's a LOT, considering each of us currently goes to the gym about once a month. Or less. I walk to work most days and do yoga at home (occasionally), and we try to get out to play tennis, but we're definitely getting way less than the recommended daily exercise. Plus, this time around I gained most of the weight in my hips, thighs, and butt, which is totally new for me, since that's always been the one area of my body that tended to look pretty good without any effort. *sigh* I guess that's what the late 20s have decided to do for me. Anyway, I'd like to actually be able to wear more than just one pair of my jeans and two pairs of my work pants once the weather turns colder, so I need to get on losing those 10 pounds or so I've put on since the beginning of the year. Then maybe I can work on the 10 pounds or so I put on the year before that. I'd really like to reverse this trend... having to constantly upsize my wardrobe is not good for my health OR my budget.
(And yes, I really have gained 20 pounds since my third year of law school. And no, I'm not really quite sure where I put it, except that I would say that my pants are telling me that approximately 75% must have gone to my ass.)
Project Get in Shape and Fit in Clothes Day 1 -- I'll let you know how it goes once I can use my arms again after lifting tonight.
You know what, I'd love to hear about your journey (oh gods, I feel like Tyra on ANTM). I really do need to lose about 10 lbs and I feel motivated and less depressed knowing that there are other people out there doing the same.

Don't you just hate waiting around for one teensy thing at work when you could be free?
