No more gym

I have been looking through my budget a lot lately due to my recent car accident and unexpected medical bills. My goal tonight was to see where I could cut corners even more than I already have. Looking at my spreadsheet, it was obvious and it was staring straight at me. The gym. That $45 could really go toward a bill or savings. So, I will be doing something I have not done in literally 6 years: RUN outside and do workout videos. As a former step aerobic instructor, I never thought I would see this day coming where I wouldn't make a daily stop at the gym. I LOVE the gym -- the equipment -- weight machines -- classes -- all of it! However, I know a lot of friends who do not use a gym and they still look great! I guess it really doesn't matter 'where' you work out, as long as you are getting your heart rate up and toning muscle a few days a week, it is all the same.

I have been doing some research and have read great reviews about the "30 Day Shred" with Jillian Michaels. I found a great deal on Amazon, and am looking forward to starting this when it comes in! I am putting in my gym cancellation on Sunday, so I will still have access to it for the entire month of April. I guess I can tag-team my workouts between the gym and the video. I also need to start incorporating a running routine.



Also, lately, I have been in such a fashion rut!! I don't know if it is just the time of year or the yucky, rainy weather, or what, but I have seriously come home from work everyday and changed into sweats. Poor Ben... but he actually joins me in his sweats and we chill or go around town. However, I have a closet-full of cute clothing and they need to be worn!

I will keep you all updated on how the new workout routine goes. Maybe the change in routine will be a good thing!
