Yesterday for example I left the house at 7am and returned at 10pm Unfortunately shit happens, but I am planning on getting better at getting to the gym. My plan is to get there at least 4 times a week from now till X_Mas

It's weird I always felt better about myself when I went to the gym... really need to get back into the swing. Are you lifting weights or just doing the cardiovascular stuff?

TVDinner Joined: 21 Jun 2007 Posted: Thu Oct 18, 2007 5:48 pm	Post subject: I am doing both. about 30-45 minutes of cardio and about 30 minutes of weights. no wasting time or talking to people.

I am finally starting back at the gym.

I had a long lay off for multiple reasons, work, injury, etc

Anyway, I am working on what I am going to be doing for my beginner routine and I think that I have it settled.

So wish me luck, tomorrow at lunch will be my first day in 3 months......

I will report back on how it goes
