You just wait

til you see me in 3 months.
That is all the time I am giving myself to get this big behind end into shape. Well, that is all the time I have at the gym but I'm hoping that it will be enough time to give me a new excitement about getting back to and being in shape when I don't have the gym anymore. It has been since I had McKenna 3 years ago that I really have gone downhill and I can't stand it anymore. I was really thinking the losing of the metabolism wasn't going to happen to me (who died and made me queen...apparently nobody) and I hear it only gets worse. I am also the worst junk food eater so if I don't do something now....ya the picture in your head is probably the one I have too. Gross huh?
So my friend Jo and I started our 3 month trial at the gym today :) I am proud to say we made it though the sales pitch portion of our first day (which we were both dreading)and we didn't even cave into the year commitment which for us is a big deal. Maybe we shouldn't be so proud I'm sure a year would be much better for us but who can commit to something so far in advance. What if I break my leg and am out for 3 month not to mention I have commitment phobia on things that I don't know if I will like. We did flounder a bit not knowing what to start on but all in all I think our first day was successful. We did end up sweating and I think that is always a good sign. There was a bit of a blonde moment when we lost 50cents in the locker room because we couldn't figure out the locker key but we decided we got such a great deal on the trial that we could spare the extra cash (so maybe it was just a semi blonde moment).
Tomorrow is personal trainer day, yeah the yucky weigh in and body measurements day. Very scary but necessary I suppose. I don't really want to know the whole truth and nothing but the truth but this is what I get for letting myself go. I will endure the bad to hopefully get to the good.

So why am I blogging about this?... well
1. it is part of my life right now and that is what blogging is about right??? and
2. I want to be motivated and knowing that you all know now and will be expecting to see results has now added that extra motivation.
At this point I need all the help I can get. I am just glad I have someone wonderful to go with.

P.S. A special thanks to beautiful Kelly, you are the one who made this all happen. Maybe we can share sweat space someday? I promise I will try to keep my sweat to myself :)

Oh Pammi - I wish I could join you & Jo on your magical trips to the gym! Who knew you could have such good times sweating?

I went to 10:30 yoga yesterday! And it was great until they came to get me from the childcare area to tell me that Tommy had cried for 40 minutes without stopping. Boo hoo.

I'm going to Body Jam with Jake's sister Liz tonight at 7:35. Maybe yoga again tomorrow morn. Want to start out slow. Buns already a bit sore....

P.S. Forgot I'm meeting with trainer tomorrow morn. All the measuring is quite embarrassing in front of everyone. Had very creepy guy last time. Got friend Jodi this time.

Pam, your grain mill is here. Maybe I can take it to jolene's house to take to you? Don't know when I'll be back at gym in a.m. Tommy very sad in there.
