On to the Next one...

Over Thanksgiving I had planned to work out each day (except Saturday) and hopefully negate the extra calories I would be in-taking.  Yesterday I weighed myself, why you might ask?  Well, I'm wondering the same thing.  It was a nice reality check to get back on my track that I had previously talked about here.  While I have been working out three times a week (sometimes four, patting myself on the back) it has been VERY sporadic and not to the intensity that I need to make it count.  I enjoy running outside but since the time change when I get home at night it is already dark and despite feeling comfortable in our neighborhood I'm just not going to run at night by myself.  I'm hoping that T may join me occasionally for a run, but his pace and my pace are not the same (I usually can keep up at his pace for about ten minutes, then I have to stop and walk because I have pushed myself too much).  So to top off my neighborhood runs being exed out in recent weeks, my gym was bought out by Lifetime Fitness and closes December 15th.  They gave us the options to go to their other locations, but since that would mean driving more than 15 minutes to the gym.... and I would never go because spending 30 minutes to/from the gym is a waste of time in my book.  The other option was to join Lifetime fitness, the spa of gyms in the area at a discounted price.  Let me start off by saying this gym is NICE and there are more than enough reasons to join, but $ is the only reason holding me back.  The $15 price increase is not too drastic, but lets just say I would rather not be paying more for a gym membership.  I can understand the price difference since they have two full size pools (indoors and outdoors), basketball court, rock climbing wall, a TON more classes.... not to mention.... Lifecafe (like you can literally order food here not just stupid protein shakes), salon, and spa (Like I said... NICE).  So, why am I even questioning the membership?  I think I would go here more since two of my friends are members, but I worry that they won't allow T to join at the discounted price since he wasn't a member of my current gym.  The reason why is because they didn't have all the amenities that he was wanting in a gym (basketball, pool, etc) so tonight we are going to go try and work some magic... I'll let you know how it turns out.
