Me and my shadow

Here I stand at 146.6 pounds. The calorie counter says "CONGRATULATIONS! 26 LBS TO GO!"
It might as well say 126 pounds to go, because I have been at this weight for days on end.

I joined a gym...where there motto is  "No Judgement", where everyone is welcome, except what they call Lunkheads. Muscle heads that throw weights around and grunt. It's a good fit for me as far as a gym goes. I can walk in, undetected, find a treadmill, watch one of 15 TVs, with no sound. I like it that way. First of all I don't own a headset, and I find watching the news or vampires or housewives with implants all much more interesting without sound.

I don't go very often, but the fee is about $10.00 per month, so I figure, even if I make it there once a month, it's worth the money. At the gym they don't really offer much instruction. But then again there isn't much to pushing the start button on a treadmill. The machine then asks me all the important questions..weight, speed, incline. It doesn't ask me how am I feeling today, or do I have any injuries, or high blood pressure. I like it that way. No intrusions and impersonal.

Truth be told, a quarter of a century ago, I was an aerobic instructor. I jumped and stepped and taught sculpting for ten fabulous years. It was probably the best job I ever had and certainly the most fun. Jane Fonda had a workout video which you can and should watch for some giggles at the 80's attire & hair! Now I'm in the same rut as everyone else. Working, eating on the run and not exercising.

But today is the day I start again. Entering my calories consumed, entering my activity and calories burned. I am going to feed my body and soul the nutrients it needs to go for the gold. Here is the start to my day. 
Apples, strawberries and banana. Yummy!

And here is the technical stuff.....I am off to a good start!
