26

Well I weighed myself at the weekend and got a shock. I am sitting at 11st 12lbs. Quite a lot for a girl who is 5'5".

So on Monday after work I popped down to the local leisure centre and signed up for a 3 month off-peak membership. I know I am leaving the country in 7 weeks, but considering how often I am planning on going along, it works out cheaper. Plus if I know I have paid for it already I am more likely to go and not waste money, instead of telling myself I am saving money if I don't go.

Last night I went along for my wee "induction" session. The nice chap showed me and another new member around the whole gym and explained how to work all the machines. Something that no-one has ever bothered to do before.

The membership allows me use of the gym, the swimming pool, a small selection of classes and the spa type place.

I am hoping I can get off my ass and get down to the gym on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, plus make it to the "Anything Goes" class on Sunday mornings. The class has a different activity each week so will give me a bit of variety.

The only problem is that during the week I can only go in before 4pm. Which means I will be up super early to be at the gym for 6.30am! I can then do a 45 minute workout, get cleaned up and off to the station to catch my train at 7.54am.

Just got to figure out the best way to split up my aerobic and weights programme, that I used to follow, to fit in the shorter time periods at the gym.

How much weight do you think I can lose before we go? And how many inches can I lose from my measurements?




btw: no word on the visa application, think DH's xrays would only be arriving around now so hopefully we will see some progress next week.
