Gotta get in shape

It is official. Today started the first day of our new workout and healthy eating. Ryan and I pulled ourselves out of bed and ran this morning. I really like working out first thing in the morning because then it is over and you don't have to worry about it the rest of the day. So far, so good. We will see how long this lasts.

We decided this new routine was necessary after being at the lake this weekend with Ryan's family. Ryan felt chubby and I just felt flabby and out of shape. Nothing can get you motivated like being in public in a swimming suit. So here we go! I checked into some gyms around our house and I found a really good one but it is expensive! I really think that if I could find a good class to go to and I knew exactly what time I had to be there, I might be a little more committed to the gym. But then again, if I can't commit...I don't want to spend money to sit on my couch. Working out during the summer is not a problem. The real problem comes when school starts again and I can't make it to the gym when I need to and then I feel guilty about not going and then I stress out because I am spending money for something that I am not even using. Then the stress makes me want to eat and I get those cute little hot dogs right under my rear end. It's an endless cycle!!!!
