My husband and I went on a nearly two mile walk tonight. It was a really great walk – nice view in a different direction than we normally go. We actually went through this bike path that’s on a hill overlooking the ocean. The view is amazing! The lights on the boats in the bay make me a bit melancholy – they always make me think of family, which makes me a bit sad since I’m so far away from mine. The air was incredibly crisp – it reminded me of a great Autumn day in Michigan, my home state.
At any rate…I got really off the subject.
While we were walking I brought up the topic of our gym memberships. You know, the ones we haven’t used in at least a month. Sure we’ve gotten other exercise but what’s the point of paying for unused gym memberships? So, my brilliant husband devised a sort of schedule that we could try and stick to on a weekly basis.
- Monday, Wednesday, and Friday: Two out of these three days we can go to the gym.
- Tuesday and Thursday: We can go on walks these nights, or at least one of them. (Ryan plays basketball at lunch – for an hour! – on these days and doesn’t really feel excited to go to the gym once he gets home.)
This Friday I have an all-staff mixer from 4-7pm. I don’t have to go but they’re usually fun – get to hang out with coworkers outside of work, free food and drinks, raffle prizes, etc. So it looks like we’ll be going to the gym Monday and Wednesday. Might as well get right to it tomorrow, anyway! If I give myself a chance to slack and just sit on the couch, I’d definitely take it.
