I never would have though I was a gym rat, or would like it that much. Gyms were for those big body builders, or desperate try hards. Lol, thankfully my outlook has changed, because I would hate to think of myself as a try hard.
Anyhow, I got my gym membership today, and I'm so excited!
I found a plan that sounds pretty sound (yeah my awesome rhyming skills) online, and I'll be sticking with that as much as possible for the next 3 weeks...now all I need to do is clean up my eatting, which as always isn't the greatest.

Of course though, I'm not waking up at 6:30 for such things, sleep is sleep and it is holy. But that's the general idea.
On a similar topic, after we got back home from the gym, I whipped up a chocolate mint banana smoothie with the immersion blender. WOW!! How have I been making shakes without it before? I do not know..
