I said that when I go to the gym I am there to work out and burn up those calories? Well tonight for the first time ever I went to the gym and hated every single minute I was there. I was there for an hour and I was not a happy camper. You know why? Last month 200 new members signed up (which really is terrific but … ) and I swear they were all there tonight in our little itty bitty gym. We have 8 treadmills, 6 elliptical trainers, 4 bikes and 2 rows of exercise machines and then the free weigh area. There was people everywhere. I couldn’t breath in there, I was mad, I hate people (not always but in a group setting like that, yep I hate them all), and I couldn’t of keep my heart rate up if I wanted too because I had to wait for each machine. This is never going to happen again, I am going to go back to my 5am work outs and if I can’t go then I’m not going or I’ll wait until midnight when everyone should be in bed. UGH!!! It was such a waste of time tonight and I am very disappointed in me for not working my hardest but I couldn’t.
I had to get that off my chest. I am very glad that my gym has a huge membership maybe they can make some money and expand the place. It is a great gym and they have a wonderful pool, meeting rooms, hockey rink (that has free skating when not in use for hockey) and in the summer basket ball. It was just too full for my liking tonight.
But I did go, I did work out and I did burn up some calories so it wasn’t all bad.
I hope you all had a great Monday. Mike is in Minot ND tonight and tomorrow am on his way to Sidney Montana. It’ll be good for him to get out and about and see some country side and work in a different area for awhile and also learn a few things about being away and being prepared. I will learn how to do some of the things here alone and also eat alone because Jim has huge lunches he doesn’t eat supper at home. It’ll work out, another new chapter is about to start and a new learning experience along the way.
Take care my friends and have a blessed evening and a terrific day tomorrow.

I'll be one of those newbies in the coming week once I sign up for a membership at the local gym. However on the bright side, most will probably fade and go less in February. I won't be one of them though - I'm going to stick it out. (she says not yet doing it)
The important thing,..you were there! No matter what, you got a workout in and burned some calories! Next time will be better!
Give em 6 weeks Julie!! IN Jan and Feb I always work out in the AM. I hope they stick around and get healthy, but most of them are on their merry way by Valentines Day!
Praying for you and Mike and Jim!!
Most likely, a lot of those new folks will burn out fast. Sad but true. The same thing happens in WW meetings. January is full, February is less full and so on. :) Hang in there.
I agree. Most people start the year with big plans....its the ones that are still there in July that succeed....and I plan for it to be us.
That's what I hate about the gym in the beginning of the year, and during the winter time. All of those blasted people!! Drives me crazy!! Good for you for sticking it out, though. I probably wouldn't have. :)
A new chapter- a good brilliant chapter, it will be. You did well, I think!
