Yoga, the gym and decisions

I went back to the gym today. Today I did Vinyasa Yoga. It was a little different from a yoga studio. There was techno music pumping next door in the spin class. It quieted after awhile. The class was definitely a good workout. Everyone else was skinny. I didn't like that everyone else was skinny. It might be good motivation though.

The husband wants to know if I am going to join. I think I want to go to some more classes. I hate to pay and not go. If he goes, I probably will also go. I have to say that it is easier to stop on the way home and go to a class on a late night or a rainy day then it is to go home and walk. Once I'm home I often want to eat dinner and relax.

I think I made my decision. I think I will join.

I have also decided to make a doctor's appointment as I have been steadily gaining weight, in spite of my weight loss efforts and exercise.

Self Control? What is that?

I cannot stop eating candy. It tastes good. Anyway, but I digress.

I had an adventure at the gym. I went for my 'free' week at the Boston Sports Club. Unfortunately, I got there too late for the 'circuit'. One thing I will say is that it is very nice and clean! Everyone was very nice.

Going to the gym was surreal. In my twenties I went to the gym a lot! I loved the classes and the fact that when you are at the gym, it is all about you! It's relaxing and a good time to get your head straight.

I did the elliptical machine for 40 minutes (while watching tv), which is not very mindful, but a good distraction. I have to say that I enjoy watching tv while exercising . I forgot how much I like cardio and how I like to sweat!

Then I did some weights. I'm sore today, but feeling good.

I think I'm going to go again today and try the yoga class or pilates (depending on when I get out of work). I also forgot my sneakers so it's yoga, pilates or go home and walk.
