I don't really have much commentary about the whole weight-loss thing. It's not driving me or torturing me too much. I said I'd document it here every Sunday and I'm keeping my word!

The cold weather has been doing me in. Running outside in the cold is a bitch when you're not properly geared up for it so I did break down and buy this hoodie in the aqua color. I couldn't help it. It's soft and pretty and ... soft and pretty. And came highly recommended at last week's winter running clinic. I also bought a couple of LED's for when I go running, which I've also used when walking the dog. I get a couple of curious looks from passersby, but rather that than be hit. I also invested in some running tights, as well as some waterproof mittens, all in the hopes of keeping myself warmer out there. Thursday is the Turkey Trot 8K and I'll be out there with bells on and, also, warmer clothing.

Today I broke down and rejoined my old gym, though at a different location. It's not that I need the motivation necessarily, but I don't like working out in the cold and am less likely to work out very hard at home. It's not that I plan on not running outside - especially after investing in the new gear - but it can't be my sole source of exercise. In the summer that was OK since the warm weather was conducive to having it be so. But now? Well, not so much. I took a quick tour and it's just gorgeous inside. I forgot what it was like to belong to a nice gym.

Tomorrow I'm taking a "hot bod" class. I'm always looking for an excuse to get myself working with weights since as we all know, I think weight lifting can suck it.

I'm excited to have a gym to go to again. It's right off one of my "L" stops and a short drive from home. Parking isn't too insane and there's a lot they're renting out now, too. I think tomorrow I'll hit the sauna after the class. A nice indulgence.
