I Did it!!!!

Well after two failed attempts....I am officially a member of the Oakland 24/7 Fitness.

Karlye and I went up there last Friday to check it out and to see if that was something we wanted to do. Keith and I decided that it was something that we should do since both of us are out of shape. We went up there on Tuesday evening to sign up and pay our dues and the lady that cut us a "deal" was not there so we went home. I went up there yesterday...as in Friday to sign up at 4:25 and guess what...THE OFFICE CLOSED @ 4:00...sooo...I decided I would give them one more shot..Keith and I went up there this afternoon and signed up and paid our dues..we got our keys and we are set! We went on with our day and as we were sitting on our Love Seat watching the Alabama/ Arkansas game I decided that I was gonna go work out! Keith decided to stay home and start dinner so I went by myself! I did it...I did it!

When I walked in the first person I saw (of course) was this Tall, Leggie, Blonde, Perfect Bod, Cute outfit, Barely sweating , skinny twerp of a girl working out on the Elliptical Machine...now I am sure that she is just wonderful and I am sure I will probably meet her and be best friends with her now that I said all of this..haha..but it sure was discouraging from the get-go. I hopped on the "Torture Machine" and worked out for about 3 min. when I thought I might fall out..haha! Blondie got off her machine around this time and it said that she had worked out for 35 minutes and had burned almost 300 calories...of course now...I have got competition...I said...HA..Ill show her..I can do that. Well when 12:00 min. had passed I decided that maybe my legs would fall off soon...but as I counted down the minutes I finally finished 35 minutes of torture!!! I burned 235 calories...not as awesome as Blondie but its a start.

Thanks Blondie for encouraging me to FIGHT!
