Okay, I finally got a reason to get going on a fitness program. The health club in the building at work offered a great deal for a 6 week "jumpstart" program for emplyoyees of my company, including some nutrition counseling and 6 weekly sessions with a personal trainer.

So last Friday I signed up for the next 6 weeks, beginning today. And yesterday I went out to Le Tarzhay and bought some new workout gear, all very comfortable and even flattering (cut not so badly for a big girl me). Last night I packed up my gym bag, and this morning made it in early for a 25 minute session on the elliptical machines. I may go back tonight after work and do another half-hour or so, and also explore more of the facility.

I'm planning on making the most of the next 6 weeks, and hope to get in there almost every day for at least 30-45 minutes, with time to shower and get pulled together afterwards before going to work. I have a Bally's membership which I plan to start using again, but dang… the facilities here are really a lot nicer.
