A Gain

Darn it, darn it, darn it! But, I knew I was off track all week and although I everyday I swore that "tomorrow" would be the day I straightened out, it never happened. But this is a new week! A new start! No more evil biscotti lurking around the kitchen. Beautiful weather in the 70's all week. I will eat right and get this tushy moving!

I'm really thinking about joining some sort of fitness group. But why, oh why, do they have to be so expensive? One of the running groups here offers a Winter Warriors training group. It's 13 weeks and trains you for a half marathon. That is a distance I know I can handle since I've already run that far or farther on many occasions. But it costs something like $180! Then there is the gym upstairs. They are offering a 6-week program that includes 3 personal training sessions, 9 sweatshop classes (whatever those are!) and a daily fitness plan. That only costs $100. I've worked out with the trainer up there before and she kicked my butt! Only problem is that her hours don't really work very well for me.

I definitely feel like I gotta sign up for something to get me motivated though. I work better under pressure!

Maybe you could research a local running group (sometimes they are free). Good luck and don't worry too much about the gain.

Have you checked out your city's local craigslist.org listings? there is a section for groups and stuff. I know the south florida page, people post fitness classes and whatnot there.

$100 for the 6 week program sounds pretty good actually. think about it... its only $16.66 per week. If it will help motivate you, then go for it! =)

Sorry about the gain, don't worry it happends to the best of us. I agree with all of the suggestions that the other's commented about too. Or if you have friends that work out too you could make your own little group, that'll cost you almost nothing plus it gives you a chance to check up with your friends.
