Bringing Sexy Back

Today was one of those crazy errand days for me. One of the days where I have no make up on, and of course get stopped as the "random vehicle" to be checked at the gate of the base. I got a lot accomplished, including the shoes I've been looking for for months now which were on an amazing sale for $30 off. The highlight of my day however, was joining a gym! I've been back and forth about gym, no gym, which gym. Last night, my husband I talked about what was a reasonable amount to spend on a gym membership, and I went searching. I looked into the infamous American Family, and it was ridiculous. Well, it's ridiculous if you're in my situation. I'll only be in this area for four more months before I move, so contracts are a no-go for me. So when you go month-to-month, the prices always rise by a bazillion dollars. With the military rate, month-to-month, tanning included, Am Fam wanted $69.99 a month. Are they crazy!? So, instead, I went and checked out the new gym in town that just opened up. Month-to-month, unlimited tanning included = $19.99 a month. Take that, Am Fam. I was planning on tanning for a month or two before going to Hawaii anyways, because last time I went in December, I was the only pale person on the island. I looked like I was Swedish or from some other European country where their citizens never see the light of day. It was horrible. Most tanning places around here are $30-50 a month for unlimited. I not only get tanning, but I get a gym, too, for half that much. I'm super excited to be able to go work out now. My plan is to go Monday through Friday as soon as I'm done teaching. The gym is on the way home, so it works out perfectly. I haven't had the time or strength to work out in the last year, and that's been a major void in my life. Now that I am just focusing on teaching, instead of teaching and classes, and we're nearing the end of this deployment, I have the motivation to get the athlete back. I'll try to give lots of updates on my workouts and weight and so forth. Here's to bringing sexy back!
