It's so good to see so many people joining in here! :)
Yesterday, I joined the fitness center here in my small town. Sigh. It's a great place, only for women, and has very nice, supportive employees.
So why the sigh?
Well. I talked myself in and out of joining and going probably 10 times. I hate that. Here is how my inhead conversations went:
I will never go...
YES you will! You want to get in shape and lose weight!
It's sooooo hard to exercise.
YES it is..but you will work your way up to it!
I can't really afford this.
YES you can.. you can afford junk food? pop? cigarettes (gasp)? Then you can afford this..this is more important.
and on and on and on. But, like I said..I did join!
Another positive thing is that my 15 yr old daughter wants to participate,too. I signed her up to and we went last night for the first time. It was kind of fun to do it together so I am hoping that will be a big insentive for me to keep going! My daughter will be going really just for fun and fitness...she is not overweight.

I joined a gym today too and I'm hoping I can stick with it. I have a habit of being all gung ho at first and then I lose my enthusiasm with time.
YAY for you both!!! COngrats!!
I hear ya, Ty, about being all gung ho at first them losing steam...that is so me! lets all keep each other motivated!! :)
I understand being unmotivated to go to the gym. It is fantastic to have your daughter joining you though.
Here's to keeping up the motivation.
