And We’re Back

Well, I will start by apologizing for our lack of posts for the past week. It’s not that we were extra-ordinarily busy or anything, we just got busy with other “stuff”. If you remember in an earlier post we discontinued our gym membership since HIS can use the gym at work for free, I now walk to work (2 miles a day round trip) and we both can use the small gym in our apartment building for free.

Well, I have had absolutely no motivation recently to work out at all. I have only walked to work a few times a week due to some extremely hot weather and rain. So, in order to fight the battle of the bulge and get ready for our upcoming week long trip to Jamaica (YAY!) I have decided to look for a group activity that I can participate in to get some exercise.

I’m leaning towards a group activity so it will help keep my attention as well as the opportunity to meet some new people. In the past I have tried a soccer league which got a thumbs down due to the timing of the practices and games which were just too late at night. I’m totally not interested in softball no matter how many people ask me to play. I used to row crew in college and I think it will be my next sport to try. I’m hoping it’s like riding a bicycle and comes back to me easily.

Living in the Washington DC area we have access to a number of rowing clubs at a variety of costs, some of which I think are more than reasonable. I’ll write more after I give one or two of them a try.
