Journey to the Gym

There is a chill in the air, it's getting darker earlier and it's almost time to change the clocks.  I'm about ready to kiss my long walks goodbye.

This does not mean that I will no longer be exercising. No this means that it's time for the next level. It's time to kick it up a notch and joing the gym.

Walking did me good, it did the job it was supposed to, it got me into an exercise routine and it really helped me. When the weather turns again, I'll gladly add walking back into my routine, I really enjoy it, but for now I'm absolutely excited to say that I belong to a gym.

Yes, me, can you believe it?  I joined 426 Fitness, close to home, treadmills, weight training, classes, oh my.  I love this place (did I just say that?), tonight I went in and Paul showed me around and made me feel at home.  There's a ladies only room, there are many classes to choose from in fact, I'm going to take two classes on Saturday, a rowing class and some new african dance exercise called Safari.

It's like Christmas morning!  And for those of you who know me really well, I'm sure right about now you're wondering who the hec this girl is writing this blog. No I have not been abducted by aliens, it's me the same old clutzy uncordinated Lisa. Just a braver, more fit version.

I have to admit that I was nervous walking into a gym, it seems as if gyms are filled with healthy, fit, beautiful people.  I spoke with Paul, told him where I've been and where I wanted to go and he joined in my excitment. I really feel welcome here, they have a lot to offer and hell, get this....I've got a few sessions with a personal trainor lined up. Yep, I am on my way to reaching my goal.

In other news....my new pants are already big on me.  Better get that belt out again.

Also....Welcome to my reader in Thailand!
