As far as resources go for this weight loss challenge, I feel pretty lucky in regards to places to work out.  Not only do I live in a nice area that I can walk around in (which even includes a trail) but i have 3 gyms at my disposal.

And that right there is one of them!

My employer has two offices within 2 miles of my house, both of which have a fitness center that I have unlimited access to for 10 bucks a month.  My apartment complex also has a dinky little workout room, so if I don’t feel like going to far I can always go there.

I’ve been going to the office gym though, even when I’m at home.  I think its alot nicer, has alot more available to me, and it has the ARC Trainers, which are growing on me, and walking there is always a nice warmup (even though I do drive there more than I should).

As far as workouts go, today has been a good day thus far.  I burned 2067 calories (per the machine).  I was going to stop at 1500, because my legs were burning and I wanted to go home, but I perservered, a) because I felt guilty about not working out yesterday due to my hangover, and b)t hat extra 567 calories could be a meal, so it’s one less thing on my diet that I have to worry about!  Sadly, I wanted to take a picture of this, but the machine reset itself before I could get the camera phone set up :(   Next time I won’t wait until after the timer runs out, so I have more of a window.

Going to DC in a bit, so I’m sure there will be plenty of walking down there.  Hope everyone’s had a good weekend!
