Thank you all so much for the nice and supportive comments.
Last night after work, I walked into Bally’s and joined. The sticker shock was a punch in the gut but I figure for the three years I have the membership (THREE YEARS YIKES!) in the end it will cost under $250 with my annual $150 reimbursements from Blue Cross.
I got up at the crack of dawn this morning (4:30am) and went to the gym for five to meet with a traininer (who overslept and never showed thanks so much) but I did work out (treadmill) for 45 minutes and plan to go back at lunch to do a cycling class. I gotta kick my own but ‘cuz no one else is gonna.
Anyway, I have plans. Plans to go at minimum four days a week. PLEASE hold me to it. All of you.
That was a crap load of money and a long ass contract to not use it as much as I possibly can.
Anyway. The trainer is calling me shortly to reschedule but in the meantime, I’m going to go and literally try to work my butt off.
So the sock. I did promise a progress picture. I am past the heel and on the leg. A few more repeats of the pattern and I’m done. Here is my July Sockamania Serpentine Sock:
I do still have hopes of finishing this month so we shall see. If I really concentrate on these I can do it.
BUT there is no way I’ll ever catch up on Mystery Stole. Just not enough time. I will continue with it though in between the socks.
This weekend (aside from going to the gym of course) Peter has a gig that I’m going to Saturday night at Mill Street Brews in Southbridge. I think I’ll go if I’m not totally exhausted.
Sunday is a dear friend’s baby shower and then some spinning! So it will be a nice weekend.
I hope you all have a great weekend and if you live in the area, come on down Saturday night and hang with me!
Hm, I’ll bet you could knit on a stationary bike….hmmm…..I’ve often wanted to knit on my walks, but maybe I’ve been going about it all wrong!
Way to show up the trainer by actually showing up at 4:30!!
I’m so impressed that you got up that early and worked out! Go Erin!
I am beyind proud of you Erin. Good for you for joining the Gym! Fantastic progress on the sock! Way to go!
Erin,
Great job, I am so proud of you. You can do it…
