I'm such a dumbass sometimes...
Anyway, I just realized that there is a Bally gym only a ten minute bus ride away from Darryl's apartment! I AM SO EXCITED! I almost never work out on weekends 'cause it takes too long to get to the gym, and I don't like running in his area (and I'm just really, really lazy). So this is a huge boost for me today.
This gym will probably be nicer than my usual gym too, 'cause the one I frequent has... uh... well, I'll just say that there are signs on the road that warn drivers that they are under video surveilance due to high drug and prostitution activity in that area. And he lives in the Microsoft city, which means more people have money and the crime rate is way lower. So, yeah, it'll be a nicer gym.
I just wish I had realized it was there sooner! I could have solved two problems with one stone: 1) never working out on weekends and 2) waking up hours before he does and being bored out of my mind.
Last night I was looking at a calendar and realized I only have 20 weeks until Christmas. Yikes. I need to lose 1-1.5 pounds per week in order to lose the weight I want to lose by then. That means I need to stop screwing around and get serious. Adding weekend workouts will help that. Ooo! I keep thinking of things that make this whole deal even better. Darryl keeps saying he wants to work out with me, but he never does it. Perhaps now that I will be working out during our time together, he'll get off his butt and come with. I won't keep my hopes up on that one though :-P
