#2593 Saturday with Sandy

I'm writing early today because MT and I are headed back to Sundance tonight for the second show in the Bluebird Café concert series. It's not as smoky around here today, and I'm hopeful we will have clean, beautiful air at the venue.

This morning I said good-bye to my WW coach, Lana. She's not going anywhere, but I have cancelled my WW membership and to forge my weight loss path on my own. As T says, it is the end of an era LOL. I came to the realization that although I know the plan absolutely works, it wasn't working for me anymore, totally because I wasn't working the plan. After a lot of thought and conversations with MT and Lizzie, I made the decision. Like I told Lana, I'm going to trust that what I've learned at WW over the many years will stick with me. I know that's where the food rant on my last post came from. I've been obsessing (a little) over this decision and it's scary to lose my WW security blanket. I feel good about the decision, actually. I'm going to be okay.

I did do something to sort of take WW's place today: I signed up for a gym membership at Vasa Fitness. I've even booked a couple of classes for myself next week, on Monday and Wednesday. I feel ready to get back to the gym and get sweaty. The membership I purchased lets me have access to any Vasa Fitness. There are a couple of gyms close to me, and another that isn't as close, but still do-able if they have a class I am interested in taking. I'm excited. I love Zumba, and I'm looking forward to getting back into it. I signed up for a Zumba class on Monday at my "home" gym, the one nearest my house, just over a mile away, and a cycling class on Wednesday at the Vasa about four miles down the road from my house. It's gonna be good.

Happy weekend! I'll see you back here on Monday. I'll let you know how hard the Zumba class was after over a year of not taking any classes :)
