Timing is Everything! (10-8-ious)

I wasn’t exactly ready to start this new group plan on 3/1. I didn’t have my mind in the right place and I hadn’t quite figured out the exercise thing, but I was getting close to getting serious. I went to town on Saturday to purchase a new and good scale (who knew they were so expensive?!) and I had to have a new pair of jeans as mine are all worn out (the ones that fit anyway). I won’t go into the ugly details of trying on jeans, suficive to say, I did not buy any. I returned home to find one message on the answering machine. It was from the local gym in town (that I used to belong to years ago) they are offering a special to former members - $20/month! SOLD! (how did they know I was out shopping for jeans?!) I spend $40 a month on my damn fingernails – I think melting my butt off is worth at least $20! So I called them back, made an appointment, went in today, signed the paperwork and I am a member!

So here is my plan: Every weekday that I am not headed out to a meeting in the morning I will be headed to the gym for a full cardio and weight workout and likely once or twice over the weekend (this will give me 4 to 5 workouts/wk). And I am going to eat sensibly withOUT counting every carb, calorie and fat gram I consume (I am SO sick of obsessing over what I eat!)

Long Term Goal – maintain a size 10
Short Term Goal – 15 lbs by July
