Well today is a day for goal setting. First I though I should tell you a little more about my gym situation. I have 2 gyms. The building I work in has a little gym. It has the circuit machines, tread, bike, ellip, etc. All the usual suspects. The company I work for has a big gym, two blocks down. This is where the gym nazi resides. Big gym also offers 18 classes as well. All of this is F-R-E-E to me. I know, I know, I really have absolutely no excuses! One of the classes is a 30 minute dance cardio deal. Sounds fun to me. Goal # 1 is to go to this class.

Every Sunday I absolutely love to read the newspaper. It is a ritual with me. I always save the Target circular until last. To me it is the dessert of the paper. Goal # 2 is to be able to buy and wear the cute little workout clothes they have in all the cute colors!!!!!
I am in a trimming down state of mind. I had, until yesterday that is, a big, cumbersome comforter on my bed. Was 10 years old, was lumpy, had seen better days. So I chunked it. The thing took up my whole trunk! Then I went to the Great Clips Salon and told them to cut my hair OFF SHORT. I am talking just a tad longer than Jamie Lee Curtis short. The theory being, I want to only have to put a dab of product in my hair, run my fingers through it and wa-la, DONE. Goal # 3 is to take my short hair self, and my work clothes to the gym in the early am. Do the workout or take a class, shower and then go to work. THIS WOULD BE A HUGE STEP FOR ME. Maybe I should make a bucket list for this year. Things I want to do during the workout year. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I am focusing on light and airy. I want nothing to tie me down and weigh me down.
Am going to do a lap around my neighborhood tonight i.e. 1 mile I think. Am putting on my Ipod, cranking up everything from Gaga to Cash to Elvis to Stones and back again.

Your dedication is refreshing! It is so easy to get caught up in doing the same workout day after day. So far, it sounds like you have managed to throw in a mixture of cardio sessions that should keep your body guessing what's next. Along with the classes that are offered at your gym, it sounds like you will be wearing those Target clothes sooner than later! Congrats on the new hair and bedding and good luck in the morning! Can't wait to hear when the pounds and inches start dropping. Keep it up Gym Virgin!
