Day 7 (Morning)

My weight went back down a bit this morning, so my total weight loss for the first week is (drum roll, please!) 3.8 pounds. Not bad, I think :-) Wayne's weight loss for the first week was 6.6 pounds, which is also not bad.

This morning after dropping Claire off, Wayne and I went to the gym to use our free 8-week memberships at Bally's Total Fitness. We signed up for the Discovery Health National Body Challenge to get it. While at the gym I did a 20 minutes on a bike and 15 minutes on an elliptical trainer. I managed to work up a nice sweat!

I had a Bally's membership for a while, and rarely used it, so I am loathe to actually pay for one. If I actually go more than once a week for the next 8 weeks, I might be willing to splurge. Then again, a membership at the local community center is much less expensive (about $95/year). They have a lot of the same equipment, just in smaller numbers. They also don't get quite as crowded as the local Bally's, which was packed even at 9am today. Don't these people have jobs? Yeah, I'm one to talk! The other thing that's nice about Bally's is they have a pool, hot tub, sauna, and group exercise classes. I can get the group exercises classes at the community center (by paying extra for each class), but they are included in the price at Bally's.

Something to ponder, huh?

I'm going to go take a nap! I was up late working and then reading (almost done with The Amber Spyglass). I have a lot of work to do, but I won't be much use if my brain is all foggy from lack of sleep.
