nixter = official gym member

Yes it is true, SP and I have finally joined up to a gym. After much talking and debating we popped into a gym yesterday, one which is between home and work and signed up, tonight is our first night. I am going to meet SP there, work out for a while and then we have our 'orientation'.

I am pretty excited and keen to get back in shape after no exercise since SP and I got married and then lots of eating over Christmas. I dislike the 'sluggish' feeling we have both had and when I run up the stairs I nearly have a heart attack. We are both pretty unfit at the moment but we are looking forward to frequenting the gym about 4 times a week.

Watch out Arnie is all I can say!

I was thinking of joining a gym for the new year, but have instead just renewed my running regime and doing small weights and exercises in the lounge room at home.

(Hey, check out my new blog: andy's five. Something new for the new year.)

(and welcome back from the UK!)

Just checked it out - looks good, are you checking all comments before showing them?

Andy M said...

I didn't think I was checking them, but did you run into trouble? I'll go back and check the settings.

Nixter said...

Glad to see people coming back into the blog world, it's been quiet :(

What a great plan. I wish I had a gym partner. I have a terrible time getting motivated to go by myself.

Nixter said...

I know it can be tough, I think I am more motivated when I am paying per month for a gym membership, I want to get my $$$ worth. But it will be fun having SP go with me. I used to have another execise buddy before I got married and she was a good motivator too. How about walking with your Mum as a start?

I've been thinking a lot about this too lately. I am really unfit. A friend of mine and I decided to start walking together. Today was to be our first day. We woke up to ice covering everything. The sidewalks were very icy. Didn't go out!

Nixter said...

Yeah the weathe can make it hard if you are doing outdoor sports or activities, hope the weather gets a bit nicer so you can start these walks. You can do it ;)

Funny! I just joined a gym too! My roommate and I. Although, we have such different schedules that it may not always work to go together. I'm excited to start working out and to lose some weight I gained over the holidays!

Nixter said...

Yeah I need to lose some of that weight gained in the last 10 months. Keep up the good work, I ahve been enjoying it - well at least all of the TWO times I have been so far.

Well done Nixter! I joined a gym last year and I think it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I lost some weight, put it back on over Christmas and holidays, but now I'm back into the healthy eating and regular exercise. It's amazing how much better you feel!!

It truly is, it's hard when you have been eating heaps to try to cut down, but I am now an official fruit eating machine.
