To The Gym: The Decision

It was Friday night and I had just about had it. I was fed up with everything really, but I was particularly aggravated with myself. On a whim while I was driving I pulled up to my local gym. This is a highly publicized gym and I had never been to any gym in my adult life let alone a popular one. I was looking to take a couple of classes only, as that is really all that I can afford at the present time. Fifteen minutes later I came out with a temporary membership. What happened? I did like what I saw and the equipment was super fantastic. I had big dreams about this place being the thing that would turn my life around and lead me to weight loss success putting an end to the completion of what I had set my sights on a couple of years back. For some reason after my first weight loss success it all came to a halt. I did not have as much time to devote to it and therefore, I believe that is why it came to a standstill. I decided at that point (last Friday) that no matter what, I would cut out time for myself every day to devote to exercise. I wouldn't put it last on my last, but rather up high in the list of priorities making it a "must do" task every day. I would make a more concentrated effort. I was sure that once I reached my initial final goal I would have no trouble maintaining the weight. I still believe that in spite of the statistics that people would most likely gain it back somewhere down the road. I have had no trouble with maintenance and intend to keep it that way.

So my gym journey began on September 25, 2009. Can I do it? I sure hope so.
