…and joined a gym!Yes, finally after all these years I decided to take the plunge and found a decent one near my place. It fits with my budget provided I cut back on some other unwanted stuff. I decided to go ahead with it because there is nothing else that motivates me to work out and lose weight as well as something that helps with my mood. Especially given that it’s winter now and the urge to step out of the house is next to zilch unless I’m paying for something.
So yes, starting next week [after the long weekend] I hit the gym! From Wednesday.
Until next time,
Cheers!!!

18 April 2011 at 10:57 pmI fear that might happen but the gym I’ve joined apparently calls you if you
haven’t attended for 3 weeks to find out how things are going and to help
motivate you. So fingers crossed I don’t get hit by the laziness bug! 😛

19 April 2011 at 7:57 amNICE !!! … make sure you do what I did .. lift the heaviest weight you can on the first day and feel paralysed on the next …
On a more serious note …good luck, its worth it when I am thankful I started going… you’ll know what I mean in a few months

19 April 2011 at 5:26 pmGood for you! I’m trying to do a 4-times a week workout routine too. Now if only I could also be good about my eating.

20 April 2011 at 3:12 amThanks Jake…I used to go to the gym back in India and then for a year when
I came to Aus. Loved it back then but had to stop because of uni and
finances…so now, hoping to make the most of it.

20 April 2011 at 3:48 amThanks Bikram…I think I have to make it through the first few months and
if I notice muscles and weight loss, then I’ll be more motivated! 🙂
Psych Babbler
20 April 2011 at 3:49 amThanks Nitya! I’m going to try 5 days (I know…possibly ambitious!) and
yeah, eating properly will be the next step! At least you are doing one
thing right…I was going through a stage of not doing either!

20 April 2011 at 6:21 pmYay! Congrats 🙂 I’ve always wanted to join one to gain muscle & stamina. Even run a half marathon someday. God only knows when I will get down to it. But I’m super glad you did. And you totally have to strike it off your 30 by 30 list! 🙂

20 April 2011 at 9:59 pmHi Psych Babbler, first time here, and nice to see that you started GYM. Keep posting update so that people like me is motivated and reminded. I was very punctual with my schedule during early winter, but later I was very lazy and now I have tough time getting back my schedules. I started with BMI 27.5 and now at 21.7. I wish I could reach my target soon..this is what I have written in my blog.. http://weourlife.wordpress.com/2011/01/21/weight-tracking/
