Why is it in this country that 65% of americans are over weight, yet it cost so DAMN much to join a gym or to get a personal trainer, you know someone to kick your a$$.
So to some $20 a month might not be bad to join the gym, but then you have the sign up free of 30-50 bucks...why make it so cheap and then add on more charges? THen you add it up over a year and that's a BIG chunk of change especially on only one income.
I can bargain shop for anything else in my life like clothes, food, health care, etc. But can't find a good deal on joining a gym. Nevermind the cost of gas to get to the gym
My problem is to have motivation. I had it once, and now it has left! I felt so good for once loosing weight and getting healthy, but once again I have fallen into a slump like I was determined not to do! I need a friend to motivate me to go to the gym 3 times a week or at least my husband. But that then comes into play is someone to watch Avery while we go to the gym.
All my friends live far away and we tried to do a daily blog, but apparently its not working anymore! At least its staying lighter out at night and hopefully it will get warmer soon so I can at least start walking/hiking. I still need someone to go with! I live in a safe neighborhood and a small town. You would think I would be ok going out by myself or with Avery, but I don't always feel safe. I feel like someone could attack me and no one would hear me b/c no one is around my area! Not a good feeling to have, i do take my cell phone with me.
At least healthy insurance should help defray the cost of using a gym...but most dont. Especially when you are paying out the nose for health care as it is and you are a seemingly healthy person. I am hardly sick and very rarely go to the dr unless its for a yearly exam. Of course they tell me the same thing all the time, loose weight and excercise! well help me to afford these things financially! I clearly can't afford to have my own gym in my house!
The way this world works sometimes confuses me!

I'm right there with ya... want to send a good ass-kicking my way? I could use it!
PS I went to this great nutrition seminar at work today (now if I only had the money to buy healthy foods!)
I hear you on this one... Richard and I both had gym memberships when we met, but then to pay for 2, and give up the time to go and the drive there we decided to buy a bowflex and save the rest of the money. I take Blake for a walk every morning as soon as Richard leaves for work and try to go again after dinner. Richard usually walks with us at night.
What about getting some good videos? then you don't have to worry about day care at least
What always gets me is how CHEAP the junk food is and how EXPENSIVE it is to eat more healthfully.
It's because the government wants money from people!!!!!!! But it's a pain trying to be healthy food-wise though... I hear you on that one.
