"every light is burnin', in a house across town"--garth brooks
i am so frustrated...i have had this revelation that yes, now i have a stomach gut, it's lovely, really. but i keep remembering my stomach in high school, oh cavalettes/2 hour workout 5x a week how i miss you and my body misses you too...how could i have let myself not work out liek that, for 5 years? it's unsettling...so here's my dilemma, i want to work out and i want to look GOOD, actually i would settle for good, and a flatter stomach with toned legs, that would be fine. i dont' even want to lose weight, i just want to lose my stomach. i had an appointment at gold's gym tonight after a dinner at the Oasis with my mom and her friends, it was alright...their food sucks, gosh it really does)
so i rush over there and meet anthony, he was a pretty big nerd over the phone, but whatever. we chatted about lake travis, etc. he graduated in '03, so we discussed some of his freshmen friends, wow, he's little. or just a baby, whatever. he showed me around and asked me questions. i undersatnd why they have newcomers talk to him b/c he can talk up a storm, and he's a people person obviously, and i almost just slapped my credit card down and said SIGN ME UP! for a $411 one time charge with 6 personal training sessions (3 which are "free") and then 26.99/month. it's not the 26.99 that bothers me, no, it's the $400, the pretty much half my paycheck that bothers me. i struggled in the office with $400/hot bod/$400/hot bod--no money...$400/nice ass--no money to buy new clothes to show off nice ass...*sigh* i think if i didn't have loans to mess with or the prospect of a new house then i woudln't have thought twice about it, but i am, and three and four and now it's about the 10th time. so i talked to shawna and she got a pretty deal with Gold's through sharla's insurance, so i remembered that MY insurance does something like that...
now i'm even MORE frustrated b/c it's one (1) count it, ONE gym which my insurance covers and it doesn't really "Cover" it, it says it's a "discount" well the $138 startup fee (2 payments of $69) sounded REALLY good until i read the monthly charge..$110!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVERY MONTH?!?! what the HECK? that is something i can't afford..
so the dilemma is this...1. find a different gym, or 2. assume that paying the $400 right now will be wroth it in the end and think of it like $80/training session and then the $26.00/month whatever or 3. learn to run outside...now this would be the best option, but i HATE, absolutely HATE running outside, i am odd, in the fact that i actually LIKE running on treadmills, i could run on them all day long, anthony told me it's bad for my knees, but the elliptical kicks my ass. i am very confused and am thinking about asking people in my office where they work out, maybe they know something i don't...all i know is that after i got a free 10 min (yes i could only work out for 10 mins b/c i'm a lazyass) workout, i thought, wow, I SUCK!
*sigh*...plus i just finished watching the miss USA pageant, like THAT made me feel any better...by the way, work was fine, lots of meetings, got my targets for the next 3 month, almost fell asleep, screwed around online all day, ya know, the usual.
peace out
