Yes.. I'm still alive.*

*originally from LJ

I've done the impossible, the absurd, the ridiculous, the deadly.

I've joined the gym.

Yes. I'll just let that sit for a minute. Out in the open. Scared yet? I am.

I've been bitching and moaning about losing weight and getting "in shape" for years now, and this summer finally seemed like the chance to do it. However, due to overscheduling, all Tara and I have time for is Tae Bo. Actually, I have no life, but she's pretty busy. BUT I found another accomplice to venture to the world of the sweat-glistening, buff, testosterone-reeking underworld.

I've been there twice now. The treadmill is fun, but I generally end up "power" walking. I like the thigh machine (I'm sure that's not what it's called)... the elliptical trainer is just way too scary. I keep forgetting to bring a bottle of water.

At least the place is air conditioned.

Viva la Jenny Craig!
