Discovery

I went to the gym yesterday. I did! I did! And I discovered the art of the cycling machine. Because I am essentially sitting down and peddling, I was able to read a book while working out. I go to an inexpensive gym with a heavy focus on their classes, which is why I first decided to join. But because it's cheap and class-oriented, the tv for the elliptical and treadmill has been down ever since I joined and that was six months ago. I guess no one ever really complains since their workout room is always empty but their membership seems to consistently grow. That has been my excuse for awhile for not going to the gym: don't want to go to cardio-oriented classes because it's hard and don't want to go to the workout room either because the tv isn't working. But with a current book I'm reading (My Sister's Keeper), I stayed on the cycling machine for all 30 minutes with resistance. So proud of myself and I felt so accomplished!

I'm debating whether to switch my gym to NYSC in Englewood. It's $10 more than what I pay now and they offer pilates/yoga classes with no doubt that their tv will ever be down. The only downside is that it's a 10 minute drive from my house as opposed to a 1 minute drive.

Hmmmm. Dilemma.
Now, I've been craving a cranberry orange scone. How about that for breakfast? This is why I need to go to a gym. Sigh.
