Today is the final day for day for entries for me to decide who I nominate for the Zune. I'd like to thank everyone who have participated. I'll be posting the nominee tomorrow. Yes, you'll all have to wait one more day.

The scooter shopping is not going as well as I thought. It's so hard to decide. Do I go for a used one seeing it's my first purchase? Or do I go all out and just buy a new one? What to do, what to do. One thing I do know is that what style of scooter I like. My preference is a more retro style scooter. Not the sporty type. If I were to get a sporty one I'd just go and get an actual motorcycle. I don't get those people all decked out in motorcycle gear and the ride a little scooter.

I don't have the family around this week to help me make up my mind. One is in Las Vegas and one is at Grandmas. I'm sure you can figure out who is where. I'll just wait till they are back to help me make up my mind.

Well I'm off to go dream of scooters. Jermaine has put me on a little program at the gym and it's killing me. All this hard work had better start paying off.

Outta breath

Well, I did it. I joined a gym.

I must admit that I'm not that concerned about the weight issue as I am with the jiggle issue. When you join a gym you get an assessment. During this, they ask you what your goals are. Well, after being measured and weighed they calculated my BMI (fat measurement) and my cardiovascular strengths. Shall we say I was deeply humbled. It's not the measurements that are freaking me out, it was how out of shape I am! (Sadly, I kind of already knew this but now I have cold hard facts to prove it.) So I told the nice guy at the gym that my goal was to get in shape and to get the jiggly bits to stop jiggling and the squishy bits to not be so squishy. He was quite amused by this. He suggested that I do some cardio work for 30 mins at least 3-4 times a week. So Jermaine set up the elliptical for 20 mins to get me started. I managed alright but I was counting down the final 3 minutes. I don't know how those people run those marathons. My client C recently ran a 20 km marathon or something crazy like that. I'm not quite sure how many kilometres it was but I know he trained for a long time and was very proud of his accomplishment.

Props to you C! I don't think I'll be running a marathon with you anytime soon.

I'm going to try to hit the gym 3 times a week. Try is the operative word here. Wish me luck as next week weight training will commence and I'm actually excited about it!
