Just joined a gym

[DeesKo]

So all this yammering about health care and preventative care etc (and my ever expanding gut thanks to those cuban sandwiches at the store) has motivated me to do something I've always found slightly odd, and I've joined a gym.

http://lifetimefitness.mylt.com/index.jspa

Joint is dope. Open 24x7 so I can go whenever, they have daycare so I can't use the kids as an excuse and the facility is brand new so it's reallllll nice.

I'm actually kinda amped about it and plan to force it into my daily routine. After thinking about my parents and their physical conditioning, my ever-deteriorating condition and the fact that preventive health care is by far the most cost effective and productive we (the whole family) signed up.

I need it, wifey wants it and hopefully in the end it will reinforce better living habits in my kids.

I'm like a kid with a new pair of Jordans, I'm so hyped to put em on and wear 'em out for the first time that I'm seriously contemplating going to the gym right now @ 12:12am, just because I can.

Peace

any idea what the equation for pints of guiness to minutes on the treadmill would be?

I'm just sayin.... you have any idea how tempting a Cuban & an ice cold Guiness is when you don't have to actually take money out of your wallet to have them?

[DeesKo]

thanks... me too.

I bet I lose so much weight I look like a former crackhead who's addicted to meth, Fen Phen and ex-lax before you are convinced Obama was born in the US.

I think there’s something like 400 calories a pint but it will nourish an invalid in a coma?

so if I'm aiming for a 1200 calorie diet, three a day and I'm good... word!

perhaps.... maybe.

at the rate obama is spending millions to block his having to produce the 'ding dang thang'...... your probably right!

in the meantime.....

are you going to use a personal trainer to start with? i kinda think that if you can do it; you should get one to get started...

thats actually a fallacy which explains why people gain weight when they work out

depends on what you're doing. an hour of cardio every day will burn anything

keep reinforcing the fallacy, that idea leads people to eat unhealthy fattening foods as a reward for working out which keeps them at the status quo, delays or prevents progress, causing discouragement and abandoning workout and weight loss goals

you're right and i should be more clear. what i mean is after you lose all the weight you want and have established a regular exercise routine, you may find that you may need to eat more calories and can eat things--like carbs and sugar--that you couldn't while you were trying to shed pounds.

i didn't mean to imply 'eating whatever you want' = eating shitty.

yeah man.... it's $140 a month for the whole family, but damn.... we just got back from our first day at the gym. I packed the kids up and went over @ about 9:00am, and we just walked back in the door about 15 minutes ago.

Nicholas got to play with a bunch of other kids his age in a safe environment, Sithon got to go to the pool and hit the water slides and I rode the bike for 30 minutes, ran for 15 minutes (gotta start out slow, ain't tryin to catch a cramp tonight at the store hahahaha), hit the steam room for 10 minutes, then went out and swam for almost an hour. All in a very nice, almost spa like environment so it's welcoming and not just industrial or dirty feeling.

As for the eating habits, definitely gotta curb that and fight off the desire to crush a pack of peanut butter M & M's, but a few years back I dropped off about 45 lbs with nothing but a change in eating habits, unfortunately with such a crazy schedule and so many temptations I fell off a bit, but I should be able to do it again.
