gategrrlThe YMCA is no more. Uh, as in, I canceled the family membership this afternoon. Because I didn't get there 15 days ahead of time, they're going to autowithdraw one more month's worth of dues, then stop, so the membership won't run out until November 1rst.
I gotta say, it does take some pressure off of me. Instead of glancing longingly at their schedules, or open pool times, or whatever, I don't have to think about it anymore. That and the highish monthly fees. That I won't miss; that and the previously very slow and badly trained people at the front desk.
Instead, I'm going to take that $$ and invest in some good sneakers/walking shoes and finally get my bike put together after it's been in a shipping box for about 10 years, give or take. And buy a helmet.
Other than that, for the weight loss, I'm on track according to the Hacker's online program. I wobble above and below the line that indicates where I should be if I want to be down to about 150 lbs by mid March. But on track for the most part.
Yesterday, Mermaid and I walked about 2 miles to a local Starbucks with her school books and work sheets, and then walked the 2 miles back in 96+ degree heat. And it freaking wiped me out for hours afterward. Completely! My shoulder hurt, my toes hurt (hence, the need for better walking shoes) and the sciatica in my left hip started acting up. I hate that! That's why I told her the next time we go to another location to study, like Starbucks or a library or wherever, it's going to be by bike. I need to dig up my panniers.
She doesn't want to go with me to walk the dog, though. Probably because walking with him isn't so much fun. He has to sniff, he has to stop and pee, and he has to go poop and we have to pick it up. *holds nose*
Dog walking is not all its cracked up to be.
