Gettin' Fit

As I said in the previous post:

Chris and I joined (and signed our life away for a year) to a new gym. So far, we go about 3 times a week. Chris lifts heavy things while I work on what he calls the "girly" machines. Sometimes we do some cardio (or rather, sometimes I do some cardio and Chris tries for about 5 minutes before giving up. All that smoking!) It's expensive, but also really fancy. They have a lap pool, exercise pool and jacuzzi pool. They have tons of treadmills, ellipticals, steppers, bikes etc. The classes are free (although I haven't made it to any yet) and they have "towel service." What this primarily means is that they have a ton of towels everywhere to suck up the sweat... or the pool water... and you don't have to carry/wash your own. Pretty cool stuff. You can check out the pretty pictures here: http://www.mvhealthplex.com/facility/facility.htm

Ok, so I can't figure out how to link the damn thing.. gogo copy paste!

Bye Bye Love...

Sad news folks... the Dairy Queen down the street is closing for the season (winter). This is serious since it was one of maybe 4 places to get food within 10 mins of here.

In related news, Chris and I joined a very swanky (and pretty expensive) gym. They have a crazy system where you punch in a code at every machine and some computer keeps track of your workout (it also keeps track of your reps and whether or not you're doing them right). Big brother though it may seem, I'm hoping that the combination of far less access to ice cream and serious guilt about the monthly dues will whip me into shape!

We'll see...
