Today I went to the gym :D

Yes I do have a gym membership. I got that some time ago. Do I go on a regular basis? No. I have a hard time getting in the habit of going. I'll go for a few days then stop for a while, go for a few days then stop for a while. This has been an ongoing pattern since I joined this gym. The good thing is it's only $10.00 a month so if I don't go it's not that much of a loss. On the other hand that's a bad thing too because I don't feel so bad when I don't go. Maybe I should join a more expensive gym. Na. I'm cheap.
I heard somewhere that it takes 6 weeks to develop a habit. Well my goal with the gym is to go 3 days a week for 6 weeks to see if I can make it a habit. I'm taking small steps first. I put the gym on my calendar for 2 weeks. If I can make it for 2 weeks 3 days a week then I'll try for 2 more and so on. We'll see if that becomes a habit. If it does I'll increase it to 4 days a week and go from there.
As far as watching what I'm eating is going, well, it isn't. I am watching what I'm eating, watching it go into my mouth. The problem is that it isn't really good stuff that's going into my mouth. A lot of eating out lately has happened. I blamed it on the holidays, but those are over. Well so I thought.
My mother called today. She has a low tire and wants my husband to come over with is little compressor and fill it. She said for our trouble, she'll buy us dinner. Oh joy. And I'm sure she has food in her refrigerator that she feels the need to unload on us. Mostly crappy food, as in cookies and sweets and stuff. The left over holiday crap food she doesn't want to eat. Oh thank you mother. It's my goal in life to weight 300 pounds. Please keep giving me all your fattening foods. My mother is a very tiny person. She must only weigh 98 pounds soaking wet. I think I'm going to sneak over to her house one night and kill her. That's what she gets for being a tiny person. Well I probably wont kill her, just beat her up. Well I wont do that either, but I'm tempted.
So another day down the drain in diet land. Well at least I went to the gym. That should count for something. I have Wednesday on my calendar for my next gym date. Wish me luck :)
