Equinox...

So far, so good, I've lost about 19 lbs, give or take a pound depending on the time of day that I weigh myself. Plus, you'll be glad to know that I've only skipped 5 total days of working out since January 5th and lost about 2% body fat. Basically I need to lose 15 more pounds and 5% body fat, not sure how long that will take but I feel so much better, my clothes are starting to feel baggy and I get random compliments from people who haven't seen me in awhile. For me getting motivated to workout was finding a place that makes working out enjoyable with added amenities like a sauna and spa, I know it sounds weird but when something is relaxing and de-toxing it is so much more enjoyable for me.

I'm at the point in my routine where I don't know what to do from here as far as further weight loss, shifting the weight, toning and sculpting, etc. I've never been a big fan of working out so I'm slowly but surely learning my way around the gym. Because of my need for education and my impatience, I bit the bullet and joined the corporate mega-giant that is Equinox. It is a new facility in Dallas and it's really nice. I had my first session with my new best friend Colby, he will be training me over the next few months and was really positive. He told me that I've set very realistic goals and was encouraging, even noted that it is impressive that I know what I want to accomplish and that makes his job easy. Somebody should warn poor Colby that training me to do anything isn't exactly easy, but I'm trying to be flexible (literally, he's teaching me yoga poses to help with stretching) and I'm paying him which should be enough motivation for me to do anything that he says.

Tonight is our first workout together; last night was mostly testing, measuring and prodding. I'll keep you posted on how things are going.
