Hermit-esque

We don't turn the clocks back officially until this coming Saturday and I already feel the darkness effecting my patterns. The summer months can have me happily outside until 8:00 or 9:00 PM and tonight at 7:35 PM I am cozied up, in my jammies. I am totally content to read, write, or watch tv. All sedentary activites.

It's dark. I don't operate after dark. It's not a phobia or anything like that; just what I prefer. I know I have to exercise and I know I have to find something to do to be active this winter. I have been toying with the idea of joining the gym where I work. It is a great place - top notch facility and very easy to get to after work. What if I don't make it optional for myself. Is not making it optional - optional or am I just kidding myself? What if instead I make it a "must do" 2x-3x a week?

With A. working most evenings I could easily do an after work workout and still be home at a decent time. 

Something for me to think about.

I think that's a great idea. I've been scheduling myself to go 2-3X per week (my motivation is that PB joined my gym and I don't want him to think I'm lazy) and today I found out that I lost 10 lbs*. And I'm feeling pretty good too.

*this is not to suggest that you need to lose weight.

i totally agree, the dark is for restful stuff...

I feel the same way about the winter months and that's exactly why I joined a gym when special was being offered recently. Now to just convince myself to go work out instead of taking a nap.

I think the only question is: how well does it fit in your budget? Seems like the time and convenience are there...if the $ is too, then go for it!
