Changes... Must... Happen...
Oct. 1st, 2007 10:54 am Guinness is good for you... but so is exercise and good food.
I need to make a change... I know, I know... it's one of those things that we always say... but seriously, you have to pick a day to do it... and today is just as good as any day.
I haven't been getting "as drunk" as I used to a few years ago. (OK, so as I have a few months ago.) (OK, hush little voice... as I have a few weeks ago...) And I feel like I've been eating a little bit better (very little bit). But things must change...
I have an appointment later today with a trainer at the gym. I "joined" last week (my company offers membership, which rocks big-time)... but haven't been able to get myself to actually go there. This meeting with the trainer will force me in to the place. Also, several coworkers play racket-ball every Thursday night, so I'm going to play with them.
I took a look back to when I first started this journal a couple years ago and I was just starting at the gym back then. My second entry was about joining the gym... that was Sept 2004 -- almost exactly three years ago. Good lord!! I've put on probably 50 or more pounds since then.
Whats also funny: my comments about the locker room. Back then one of the reasons for joining was the "eye candy" in the locker room... now, that's kind of one of the reasons I'm nervous about starting back up. I haven't been there in so long I'm afraid I might "get caught looking" or "get inappropriately stiff" or something there... I forget "how to act" in the locker room... plus not being single, I almost feel like I'm cheating or something... I know, it all sounds so stupid when I put it in words, doesn't it... *sigh* but that's the feelings in my crazy little noggin.
Well... wish me luck... I hope my blood pressure isn't so high that the trainer refuses to work with me. Last time that happened and I felt all embarrassed and upset... she told me I needed a doctor's note. (I tried to find that entry, but can't locate it right now.) I feel like if she does that again this year I may end up just leaving and not going back.
