Up at 0630 and cleaning and tidying my room. It felt great at the time but it's made my long busy friday even longer. I need something to do with my mornings- I've scheduled every second day for getting my video projects up and running, and I'm thinking that in the inbetween days I might gotothegym.

What? I said I think I might gotothegym.

Fine. I'm thinking of joining a gym. Or maybe just paying per visit. I dunno, how does the gym thing work? Guess I'll find out. Actually, I suspect I'll go into one, ask stupid questions, get embarassed and frustrated, and end up fleeing. I guess that means I should go enquire at a gym I have no intention of joining, leave the one across the road for last.

OK, speaking as someone who has had a love/hate relationship with gyms, here's what I've learned:

* Figure out why you are doing it. Do you want muscles? Do you want to be toned? A stronger heart? Lose weight? Once you do know, you'll be able to make your way a lot easier.

* Read a little bit about it to get an idea of what to do. The 'For Dummies' series helped me a lot because I didn't really know what to do or how to do the exercises and most of the information I found was written by 'exercise gurus' that really just wanted to plug in their services and products.

Really. It's a lot easier for that.

Personally, whatever goal you choose...I think you are quite amazing as you are. :-)

Awww shucks... *blushes*

Basically I just want to gain mass around arms, shoulders, chest and legs- enough to match my new belly. I'm not particularly interested in cardio, losing weight or getting toned. Shouldnt be too difficult...
