So I have not run since the end of October and I FEEL AWFUL about it!  I have gained 15 lbs in that time. Last week I said enough is enough and back to tracking on my fitness pal I went. 

I wanted to get back into an "eating routine" before I plunged into exercising.  One thing at a time.  BUT Now is the time I need to start getting back to running because once I get my Federal Tax return I WILL be signing up for a few races.  But my dillema was finding time to get to the gym.  By the time I get home, make dinner and get Noah in bed Its almost 830 PM before I can get out the door which means I wont be getting home until 930/10 PM.  Thats TOO late and I make every excuse because Im so tired by that time.  So I thought maybe I can get up early in the mornings.  Start a morning routine.  That meant I would have to get up at 430 to get to the gym and home by 6 to get ready.  The thought of that made me even more tired.

So I solved my exercise, gym, time, schedule issues….

I BOUGHT A TREADMILL!!!  I will say goodbye to my gym membership tomorrow.

I hemmed and hawed and weighted my pros and cons.  I felt guilty for spending the money.  But I never spend money on myself.  And I know that it will be beneficial to my family.  And really what I pay in membership fees per year at the gym it pays for its self at the end of the year.  So I will save a ton of money. 

Walmart had a Golds Gym Trainer on sale for $350.  5 year motor and frame warranty.

Although I STILL feel guilty for spending that kind of money on myself I am excited to finally be able to have a routine again on my time!

Now to set up and get back to running!!!!!!!!!

You’re pretty close to me with when I left and got back on this path! I have similar scheduling problems. I’m going to have to re-evaluate what times COULD be available to get some exercise in somehow. I agree, you don’t want to do anything too late because a good night’s sleep is one of the key ingredients to losing! I don’t think you’ve anything to feel bad about with spending that much!
