mis_creationOof, I'd forgotten how good it feels to work out. I did my pilates DVD two days ago and I'm still feeling it. I like it, don't get me wrong, but I'd forgotten it.
Today is my first shift at the lab. I now have 21 hours/week on every paycheck, which should put me somewhere around $570/mo for earnings, barring any picked-up shifts or extra work. If I stop being stupid with money, this should allow me to start saving for the holidays, and possibly pay off my credit card a lot more, so I'm not hovering on the verge of going over...which I hate.
Have thought about getting a membership at a gym. There's a rec-center type thing on the north end of Ft. Collins (nearest my house, though that's almost irrelevant, but it is on my way to work!), and a 25-visit pass costs $80. If I go three days a week, that's eight weeks + 1 visit, if I go four times a week that's six weeks + 1 visit. Either of which is awesome. I could go in before work three/four days a week, shower, and have time to cool down before I go to work. It's closed after I get off work four days out of five, though, so that sucks... And I could intersperse it with home workouts/walks/attempting to jog...
On the other hand, there's a more expensive gym that's not actually that much further into town. It would be something like $50-60 month, but that would be unlimited, off-peak-hours (which are more convenient for me anyway), plus a pool, raquetball courts in addition to gym equipment.
But as much as I like swimming, I prefer to do it for fun rather than fitness, and I don't play raquetball. I think I'll at least start with the $80 pass when I have $80, that is. Which should be tomorrow...
So, yeah. I'm still alive.
