Fruit Cake. FRUIT CAKE!

On Wednesday I signed up across the road from work. Yesterday I went for an hour long induction. Today I had my first session.

Yep. I’ve joined the gym.

No, before you scoff at me and point out that I’ve tried the gym regime a number of times in the past, with varying levels of failure, allow me to point out a few differences:

  • I’ve got a couple of gym-legend workmates giving me advice and encouragement through each session
  • I’m paying for it now, so there’s an obligation to get value for money
  • I’m going before work starts. All it requires is getting a reasonably early night and then the early wake up isn’t actually too bad - and even if it is, after 30 minutes in the gym I’m already feeling much, much more awake and ready for the day. Also, it means I can go out in the evening without having to worry about arriving late/skipping an after-work gym session to accommodate it. Oh and finally, it means I don’t spend the whole of my working day thinking of excuses why I shouldn’t go to the gym, as in previous “after work” gym attempts…

If I’ve (just about) convinced you that this will work this time then that’s good.

Let’s just hope it’s actually true. :-)

Toodles,

Pat a.k.a. “Fruit Cake”
(Apparently “Beef Cake” wasn’t appropriate for a veggie…)

    Done :-)

    Amazingly, Pat’s managed to go to the gym three times last week - and he went this morning too!

    (He even mentioned to me that he looks forward to the gym sessions. I think that screw is well and truly dangling…)

    Cheers mate. By the way, who is chanmander? Just looked at his blog off your blogroll and there is no mention of who he/she actually is. Plus there are only 2 posts, last one Being in April so not many clues.

    No worries! Chanmander’s a mate from Uni (Chan is her actual name). She doesn’t update the blog much :-)
