I’m just getting annoyed at myself for not doing anything about it during the off season and or when I wasn’t working but I just got stressed and when stressed you eat. And with my 15th dragon boat season just about to start this weekend. :zoned: I barely can fit into my winter paddling gear.

I’m annoyed that I ballooned back up to the weight I was when I was 9 months pregnant. I’m mad at myself as fitness ed student I should know a lot better. Ugh.. My current goal is to drop 30 pounds and whatever dress/pant size that would be sweet. As I don’t wanna say my goal is a wear a size 6 dress and my body will only allow me to go to a size 10, very unhealthy to think way.

Then again I don’t want to be built like a body builder, but being able to bench my current weight (I can do it now but I can only do 1 rep of 12) and to have the abs of steel back. I’m back up to doing about 200 crunch’s a day (upper, lower, side abs). To be able to enter into a strength contest one year would be fun as it’s a way to challenge one self.

I’ve been trying out a lot of gyms around here, and so far none of them are up to my liking. Either the hours are crappy or the place looks like clean but not hospital clean and they are all pricey. If I can’t find a gym by the end of the month. I’ll drive back into my old town and go to my old gym. But right now I’ve been working outside (for the most part), so far it’s going but, I just have to make sure I don’t sleep though my 3 alarm clocks.

Good luck! I am seriously terrible about keeping myself disciplined enough to do anything for more then a few days. I agree though, to have realistic REAL PEOPLE goals that work for you and not the rest of the world.

Good luck finding a gym and losing some weight. It’s really rough, I know. When I stopped playing softball after college, that’s when I gained all my weight back. Stopping softball mixed up with depression let me gain over 60 pounds and it sucked. You can do it, though!

You can do it, You can do it!

If you can do it, then damn… I sure as hell can find some time to exercise …. I just hate not having money, I really should just look into getting a membership at the S.A. communit centre, I’m already so damn close!

ps. I love your pics in flickr, lovin lil miss bean

and another thing I want to join up with is at the Olympic Oval – $60 for 60 days you can use the facility – all programs and exercise classes, all public skates, and the exercise rooms … not to shabby eh?

Good luck finding a gym that meets all your needs. My school offers ‘free’ gym hours for whomever has paid their school fees, but they’re just always at inconvenient times (like… 5-6am) that I never bother with them.

I went to tons of gyms before I found the one that is right for me, that’s why they have free trials. I don’t like going to gyms that have tons of skinny men and women there who look at you like you’re insane, if you’re a newcomer to the gym.

I am barely fitting into my jeans, but hanging on somehow to close the button.

I think it’s easy to eat more in winter and I’m sure you’ll have soon paddled off an excess.

I know what you mean, I feel the exact same way. Sometimes I eat for absolutely no reason! I’ve been trying to go to the gym every day lately since I’ve been between work but now that work is starting again I’m worried I’m going to slip back into my old same lazy routine

Where do you live? I can recommend a lot of gyms
