Making a Positive Change

OK, so my New Year's resolution was to lose weight. I know-not original, but I meant it.  Last year I gave up soda, which I hoped would make me lose weight. It didn't.

I even signed up for a gym membership here in Frankfort.  Sad thing is I haven't used it--not once.  I tell myself it is because I have such an irregular schedule, but the truth is I hate the gym.  It's always full of already skinny people who are there just to meet other skinny people.  It's nerve racking.

So I've decided that next week WILL be the week that I use the membership.  I mean why pay for it if I'm not using it?  I want to go at least Wednesdays and Fridays after work.  Mondays I have class until 7:30pm and let's face it- it's hard to feel motivated that late.

I have made strides in the area of my diet.  I've been eating those healthy choice lunch things.  I have less than 400 calories everyday for lunch.  I have lost some weight because of this--I can tell because my black pants fit better and have become my favorite pair for work.

I wish I had someone to go with.  My boyfriend has a membership too, but I can't work out in front of him.  I'm way too out of shape for that, plus I hate having men around when I'm at the gym.  While I'm having fun and learning a lot in Frankfort, I'm missing my friends.
