Exercise

TOP 3 Excuses why I couldn't exercise:

1. I cant afford a gym pass.
2. Has anyone seen my running shoes?
3. I'm too fat to fit into exercise shorts.

So I started taking walks with the baby and the stroller. Nothing crazy and usually no more than 10 minutes each. I would go twice a day and be pretty wiped out. All the pressure and weight on my knees was pretty painful and with Summer fast approaching it was way too hot. I hate sweating. And did i mention i live on a major street? So the traffic after work was crappy too. All of that pollution wasn't safe for our lungs.

Just as I had finished telling EVERYONE about how much I NEEDED a pass to Bally's for my birthday and would someone please, please, please, get it for me early so I could look good in time for my wedding in September, a miracle happened. I'm not gonna lie, I don't usually believe in fate. I've never been an extremely lucky person. Nor do I think the universe works in mystical ways, but has timing would have it the mail arrived ridiculously late one afternoon and included in all the bills and junk was a flier that immediately caught my eye.

6 weeks FREE membership at Bally's total fitness!

What's the catch? How much do I have to pay up front? Will the location across the street accept it? What do I have to mail in to get my free pass that wont arrive for another 2 months?

So I called the number and got an automated message telling me about this FREE opportunity. Too good to be true? No at all. Everything was legit. We walked across the street the next day and signed up. They took our picture and gave us our member cards. No credit card required! It was amazing.

That was Wednesday. I then procrastinated on Thursday/Friday (my weekend) because I still couldn't find my running shoes.

And then last night, I found my other running shoe! Yeah!!!!

So today, which is Saturday, (my Monday), I am heading over to the gym to get my Step On. I love those elliptical steppers and can't wait to rock out with my I pod. I plan on making some play lists that are about an hour long each. It'll help me keep track of the time and I'll love the music as well.
