I'm so excited! My brother lives in Mexico and doesn't get home to visit us until his summer holidays and Christmas every year. Well he sent me a text yesterday telling me that I have to go to World's Gym before 1pm. He bought me a years membership! I AM beyond thrilled! This is something that I just couldn't afford to do on my own (family of 5 living on one wage). Since my gym pass at the Rec Center ran out mid June (which he also bought), I've been seriously slacking on the exercise. My knees just can't seem to handle too much running, and my bike keeps getting flat tires. Excuses I know, but I've also had alot of stress with what's going on with my Mom. The result of my lack of exercise was my gain of 3 lbs last week. I guess my metabolism finally slowed. Anyways, my new gym is literally one block away. I'm not kidding. It would be ridiculous to drive there! And it's HUGE, like insanely massively huge! At least 20-25 times bigger than my other gym. There is a co-ed section, a ladies only section, a room that they do classes in (that I attend for free). There's tanning beds, childcare (awesome looking room) where they will take all 3 of my kids for 5 bucks! There's a store that sells clothing, protein drinks/bars, and water. Andddddd what I'm most excited about it my FREE session with a personal trainer! Yippee!!! I went last night for an hour, and it was sooooo empty. There's hardly ever anyone in there, or maybe it just seems that way because it's so big. There's TV's everywhere, way more then needed, and I love how the entire one side of the building is garage doors, so they open them all up when it's a nice day and you feel like you're outside :O)

Here's to gettin' buff, and growing some muscles :O)
