HEALTH UPDATE
Miracle Max: Have fun stormin' da castle! Valerie: Think it'll work? Miracle Max: It would take a miracle.
As I wrote on the 7th of September, and then again on September 14, I need to commit myself to bettering my health, and to generally living a more balanced life. Yesterday afternoon, with the solid support of a co-worker, I joined a health club thatís just a few hundred yards from my office; and now, this morning, Iím off to my first before-work-workout in years. The plan is to start out slowly with basic cardio and light weights, preceded of course by quality stretching.
While Iím not totally jazzed about waking up early to exercise, past experience with doing this exact same sort of thing tells me that it will eventually result in a ëmeí that is more energized and focused during the rest of the day, and a ëmeí who will be happier with me. (Incidentally, I also plan to participate in my officeís ìFit n' Funî program, which starts next Monday. Fit n' Fun involves walking around the outside of our office building on a one-mile loop. The more loops you complete, the more chances you get to win some great prizes.)
So, thatís the skinny on the effort to get skinny. Iíll continue to post updates, impressions, disappointments, and achievements as they occur.
