Hell May Have Frozen Over
by JS on February 19, 2006
I joined the Y.
We both did, actually, as the Y has a pretty good deal for a joint metro membership. Which is a roundabout way of saying the Eastie Y doesn’t have a pool or a sauna — you know, any of the fun stuff — but that isn’t the end of the world as we can use the pool at a different Y. The newly rehabbed brick building is only a few blocks from our house, and it does have all the not-fun stuff like elliptical machines, stationary bikes, weights, and other assorted instruments of pain and torture. Otherwise known as the point in going to the gym, I guess. I hope.

What a coincidence — I just joined one of our local Ys three weeks ago. And I think that did cause hell to freeze over, because it was -32 the other night.

Yay for the both of you. I joined a gym two years ago, but I have to say it’s not aving much effect. They take money directly from my bank account every month, which is really convenient, but I don’t think I’ve lost weight or improved my general physical condition at all in two years. I’ve been meaning to stop by there some time and see what the problem might be.

Heh, so much for direct debit being a motivating factor — though I still hope the idea of paying for something I don’t use will irritate me so much I’ll get over there and ‘get my money’s worth.’ It isn’t like I otherwise need the fancy sneakers I’m acquiring for this.

Excellent news! I hope you can find a piece of equipment that is fun. I think that’s the key to sticking with it.
