New Plans
This week I have been walking every day for 45 minutes and eating low carbs and have started to see my weight shift in the right direction.
I am starting my new job on Monday, and that means this weekend must be about preparing for the week. I was going to buy a big igloo lunch box, but my friend Anth suggested I use a regular tote bag to transport my food for the day. I am going to be preparing my meals in advance and pre-packing them.
As I mentioned in my last post, I am moving soon, and last week, I went to check out the gyms in my new town. I found one gym I really liked. It doesn’t have many windows, but it’s spacious, friendly, and has my favorite thing — large TV screens high up in front of the treadmills, with close captioning. I don’t like the personal TV screens on the new machines, because the TV is too close to my face and I get nauseous trying to focus on the picture while moving. Another gym was all windows, but it was really small and seemed constrained, and there were no TV’s.
I could work out at home if I could find a cheap and simple bench. I’ve gone to THREE stores this week looking for a bench, and all I see is complex, expensive benches. I’m going to try the Sports Authority tonight. I REALLY want my own bench.

Try Craig’s list too for a bench. Could you use an exercise ball instead? Good luck with your move.
