Bullhead Health Club

I finally got back to 187.8 today.  Isn't that what I weighed about a month ago?  Yes it is...back in the right direction!!

I have been working out using the Wii Fit Plus and I really, really like it.  It is fun to see my progress graph daily and I like the the yoga poses.  I have been doing the free run for 20 minutes just about every day, although yesterday I upped it to 30 minutes.  Doing this is what makes me think I would like to train for a 5k.
That is some thing I am still planning on working on.

Anyway since I got the Wii and have been using it, I decided to give up my gym membership at Bullhead Health Club.  So on Monday I went there to do that.  I HAVE NO SALES RESISTANCE!!  The owner happened to be there.  He lowered my monthly rate and set me up with an appointment with the trainer.  I really do like the gym when I go, getting there is the problem.  Since I didn't quit I decided I would make a commitment to go 3 days a week...Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday and just not worry about the gym on other days.  The other days I plan to continue with the Wii.  In the past everyday I would stress about it if I didn't go and feel I should do more if I did go.  No win for me...

This morning I had my session with Jesse the trainer.  Jesse is probably 24 or 25 and really into his job.  I like his enthusiasm and I think we will get along well.  Today was a baseline measurement day.  When I tell people, "yes I do work out" and "yes I do eat really well"--I can see in their faces..Ya Right!  So if I eat so well and work out, why am I so fat?????  Goes back to all the sugar I eat.  Did I mention that I have come to the conclusion that there is not enough candy in the world to satisfy me? 

But Jesse was measuring things like endurance, heart rate, blood pressure, and could see that those things are good.  So then I did a test involving stepping up and down on a step that is about 15" high to a metronome.  This test lasts 3 minutes and before starting he said he has given this test to about 90 people and only about 7 have completed the whole 3 minutes.  Now he has to say 8.....AND I am the only one my age (59) that has lasted 3 minutes.      Yup I DO work out!!!

I can, I will!!
