Getting straight


For the first time in a week and a half, I can stand up without my back aching. I spend very very little of my life actually on my feet, I’m either lying in bed asleep, sitting in the car, sitting at my desk at work, or sitting in front of the television or computer at home. I probably spent about 5% of my time (if that) on my feet. So that probably explains why my back has taken so long to get better, it’s at the wrong angle most of the time. I guess that doesn’t really make a lot of sense, but it did to me when I was thinking about it earlier!
Anyway, the point is, I should be able to get back to the gym later in the week. I’m working tomorrow, then I’ve got a week and a bit off. I’m planning to spend a lot of that time at the gym, not exactly making up for lost time, just making good use of my membership. I might knock the weight training on the head for a while, and concentrate on cardio and fat burning exercises. Because at the end of the day I really do want to see the numbers on the scales go down.

    We should all calculate exactly how much time we spend on our feet. Scary.

    Glad you back is feeling better, take it easy at the gym – don’t want to put yourself out of action again!
    How does a gym membership work? annual fee and you can go as much as you like or is there some kind of limit?

    I signed up fror a three-month membership at the gym. I only committed myself for 3 months as I didn’t want to be paying out every month for a year if I stopped going after a while. From the way things are looking at the moment I will be signing up for 12 months once the 3 months is up. And yes, once you’re a member you can go as often as you like for as long as you like. I was there for an hour and a half this morning, and boy did it ever feel good!
