In Which I Resolve to Get In Shape
Went to the gym! Discovered just how out of shape I am. This displeases me.
I mean, I've always had a bit of weight I could stand to lose, but my weight stayed stable and I could, you know, go do active stuff and not feel like I was about to die. It was dismaying to realize I could only manage ten minutes on the excercise bike. Not good!
But I'm all signed up at the Healthplex - working at Saks gets me a discount, who knew? - and they offer a free assessment, which I have also signed up for, which will net me a properly-constructed routine to follow. In the meantime, they've got a walking track and a pool, and I did a mile on the former today. It's a start.
