I forgot to leave the honeymoon in St Thomas

Here it is, a month later.  After returning from St Thomas, I spent a week being sick with a variety of funk.  After that I went back to working out.  All of 2 times.

Steadily my crappy eating habits and lack of any daily workout have caused the pounds to creep up on me again.  I’ve weighed a few options regarding what to do next - sign up for more boot camp, join a gym, or buy a treadmill.  I ruled out boot camp as the 5:00 a.m. wake up call is not appealing during the winter months.  Although buying a treadmill is an option I would prefer, I would have to find a place to put it in our house.  Although it would probably fit into the office, I’m not sure that I want it taking up the space we have set aside as a sitting area, that will also one day have a sleeper sofa for any visitors.

So its back to joining a gym.  In this particular area, there are 3 choices within a reasonable distance.  Gold’s Gym, 24 Hour Fitness, and Bally Total Fitness.  Gold’s Gym has little to no convenient parking, so that was ruled out immediately.  I don’t want to waste time trying to park when I should be working out.  My next choice is Bally’s.  I have previously belonged to 24 Hour and wasn’t massively impressed.  So I went online and read some reviews for Bally’s.  Alrighty then, apparently there are a lot of people out there who are very unhappy with Bally Total Fitness.  Lots of complaints of being roped or pressured into contracts, varying monthly prices for everyone, etc.

So I’m down to 24 Hour Fitness.  I’m going with a friend tonight using her guest pass to check it out.  Wish me luck.  Otherwise when you come to visit, you might be sleeping on a treadmill.

    As a rule, never go with Bally’s. That’s my advice. Or hibernate for the winter, that’s what I’d like to do.

    Is the treadmill going to be long enough for me or will my feet hang off the end?
