Booked in for the gym!

When one of my friends joined up at the gym recently, she put my name down when they asked for names of any friends that would like 2 weeks free at the gym. When they called me I was all ready to just happily use those 2 weeks and be on my way. I’ve joined the gym way to many times only to end up wasting my money. Besides I have hardly any money right now anyway!

I had to put off meeting with them because cutting all the bad stuff from my diet put me in complete detox… something I hadn’t even thought about. I ended up with headaches, nausea, tiredness etc. They called again today as I asked them to do and they told me of the deal they have at the moment. There is no joining fee, I’m not locked into a contract (I can leave at any time), and it’s only $13 a week! I used to spend about $100 a week on bad food/ takeaway on it’s own! So with the saving I’m making on my food, I’m pretty sure I can afford $13!

And this is the gym that I lost a serious amount of weight at the year after I had my son. I went from 91kg to 69kg in about 8 months. Of course, then I got put off by a plateau and by a whole side of my family not mentioning a thing about my weight loss when they hadn’t seen me since I was at my heaviest. So the weight slowly crept back up to where I am now.

This time, with the kids in kinder and school, I have more time to go.. I don’t have to deal with a husband who I actually had to give instructions to on how to put his children to bed before I left for the gym and end up feeling guilty that I was taking up his time! And I have absolutely no intention of letting anyone else’s reaction make a negative impact on my determination to lose weight.

So I’m all booked in for Wednesday! Now I just have to find where I put my gym clothes!
