the gym again

Rosaline and I started at the gym this AM. Bright and early at 830. woke up freezing and didn't think I'd be able to do it but I knew it needed to bed done. AND it's nice knowing someone is waiting and going to hold you accountable.
plusses of the gym:
1. it's near my home.
2. the locker room is well heated
3. it's fairly clean
4. all machines have instructions on how to use them AND what areas they work--in ENGLISH.
5. they give you shorts and shirts to work out in.
6. it's only 2 people short of empty in the AM.
7. there's a sauna
8. there are plenty of bikes and treadmills.
minuses:
1. the downstairs area where all the machines are is pretty chilly unless you're doing cardio.
2. the bikes don't have tvs.
3. it's 50,000 a month. 130 for 3 but i'm making sure I go enough in one to justify.
4. it's not right next door--or even better--in my living room.
so there you have it. the plusses outweigh the minuses. now i just have to get out of bed to go again in the morning. monday is always the hardest day. and upon leaving the gym i felt great. after lunch though i was more than ready for a nap. i'll go to bed early tonight and make sure to get up and get going in the morning.
at least that's what i say now...
i came home from work tonight and fried some tofu. then cooked some spinach with garlic, onions and butter and tossed the tofu in on top. yummy yum yum. and then, while chatting to some friends online i took some practice GRE tests--some good some not so good. i found out i have lost any math that i might have learned and i need to focus more on that than vocab. aaiiissshhh.
