Ok.. I Need To Stop Being A Punk And Get My Arse Into The Gym..

Jan 21, 2009

Spring is right around the corner, and I know that I need to get my freaking arse into the gym.  I haven't returned into the gym as of yet.  Don't know why.. I look MUCH better now than I did when I first entered the gym during my preop days..  It seems that I am making up every kind of excuse for NOT going into the gym.. ...  The main excuse that I have been using lately is that "It's Ben Too Cold".  LOL I know, that was a punk move of an excuse... SMH...  All I know is that I need to get back in there.  Without.. I said WITHOUT FAIL, ASAP..

The way it looks I may have to join 2 gyms.. LOL.. I hear you laughing and I see you shaking your heads..and yes.. you have read right.. I will have to join 2 gyms.  The reason for this is because I want the benefit of working out in the morning and still be able to get to my job refreshed and on time, and I would like to work out at the Y at night during the times that my son is there. So I will have to join 2 gyms.  Believe you me, it's not easy for me to find a gym that will fit my needs as well as my time schedule..  When it comes to working out.. I am very much a morning person.. I'm the type that likes to get it in early in the morning.....(Sidebar for you dirty minded people.. GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER.. LOL.  Meaning that I am the type of morning person that I am able to get into the gym at 5:30 in the AM and think nothing of it while doing my cardio and weight training.  I could just join the Y alone, however... the timing would be off for me..  Wish me the best of luck.. I am already 2 weeks behind my "joining the gym schedule".  So until I decide on what gym will be my morning gym, I will be working out for FREE for 30 days at Bally's without signing or being obligated (pressured) to join .  Ohhh.. you didn't know about that??? Well let me hip you to it.. It seems that the The Discovery Channel is having it's National Body Challenge Promotion once again and I have signed up to receive some of the great benefits like:

In My Blender Cup.. Yes I said Blender Cup.. it actually blends my shakes



And YES it does work....




I usually drink 2 servings a day, and I have a small salad. 

My snacks normally consists of cheese 1 oz of cheese sticks  (They are 2 for $1.00 at Walgreens)

and a handful of crackers..



(I try to limit to only a handful, but you know.. These are so good LOL)

I have to admit, I sometimes go overboard with the snack, but rest assure that I am keeping mindful of the Nutrition Label on the Side...  Here's a Crash Course, for those who didn't read my post in regards to this:




Well, that's all I have to report for you today.. Tune in next week; HOPEFULLY I should have an exercise report for everyone with a list of every exercise that I did.  So Until then.. Smooches
