Bally's

So today was my first work out at Bally's (as a part of their free two week guest pass) It was good. I'm not 100% into the Sheepshead Bay location, but when I see how cheap it is, it really makes me wish I hadn't spent the past two years paying $90 a month for NYSC.

There were no evening classes today, so there were random people using the studio to do random things. There was this one woman ballroom dancing, by herself, and I was insanely jealous, because she was quite beautiful, and it was obvious she had so much confidence and she was not embarrassed or self conscious in the least.

But don't let that fool you. I've seen enough old lady boobies in the locker room today to last me the rest of my life.

Easy Mondays, gym, new knitting, and a brief vacation

Today seems like it will turn out much better then I had anticipated. I finished Monday's (very) easy NY Times crossword puzzle, and I went to the gym. Spent an hour on the elliptical machine and pretty much kicked it's ass. Okay, Okay, I'll admit it. I missed going to the gym. I think tomorrow I will try and do some running after work.

Hopefully today I will stop off at Knit NYC (my favorite knitting store) to pick up some yarn for a "Lace ribbon scarf" pattern that's on knitty.com. Then I'll go home and do massive amounts of cleaning and laundry.

Bear is gone until the 13th, and a queen sized bed just seems much, much too large for just one.

Bye-Bye NYSC

So, I finally did it. After 2+ years, I quit the NYSC. I am not really sad...my membership has been on freeze since Sept, so effectively, I haven't been to the gym in almost two months. I get charged for most of November, so I'll go most of then, and then hopefully make the switch over to the YMCA! Like the exclamation point says, I'm actually kind of excited. I used to go to the Vanderbuilt YMCA years ago and it was such a nice, non-busy, laid back place. Maybe I'll actually use the indoor pool. Maybe.  

Regardless, I really need to get my butt back into gear!
