......And so it was, stepping on a scale yesterday with the weights you move back and forth to determine your weight, I was astounded to find out I am down below 200 pounds! I didn't think I had lost any weight and hadn't even been trying. I was at around 214 when I left Phoenix. Yesterday? 196!
18 pounds gone. I was wondering, when I received my new work pants, why they were so loose. Just didn't think I had lost weight, thought maybe something with their sizes. Size 34 waist was starting to get a little tight back in Phoenix, but now? Not at all.
I've been wanting to start working out again for a while now, just didn't want to spend the monthly money on a contract. Until yesterday, when Josiah informed me there is a gym that charges $10.91 per month for unlimited use. I'm thinking, what kind of place is it that charges that cheap? Old, junk equipment? So I met up with him at that place after work and was quite surprised at what I saw in there. New, state-of-the art equipment, no junk.
I know how gyms work. They sell, sell, sell memberships. People buy them, commit to however long and have the money automatically taken out of their bank accounts. People go for a week or two and then quit, but are stuck in a membership. The only way a place that big with that kind of equipment could possibly survive is that they have thousands and thousands of memberships - but only a fraction of them show up. Cause' honey, if they all showed up at once or even half or even a quarter of them?
Yeah. So I signed up. That kind of money out of my account will hardly be noticed at all. That's a meal at Applebee's - without the drink. Well that's not even a meal on some of their selections.
I have started to do some blogging on the other account. It isn't Blogger, you won't find it unless I give the URL and it certainly isn't getting posted on here. I've given it out to a couple of people, don't mind doing so with others : )
No time left for today, gotta get to work. Driving to a town called Winnsboro today. Other side of Louisiana. A bunch of pipe and materials.
G'day.
