Let me know if you want me to add/remove/update your goal.

QOTW: Do you have a gym membership? If so, how much does it cost and how does that compare to gym memberships in your home country?

[clickerish]

QOTW: I do have a gym membership, but it's part of my package at the uni so not sure how much it would cost otherwise. The gym hours are lousy, especially on holidays, but free is free. I used to go almost every day to run, but these days it's mostly yoga. I wish I had a yoga membership!

[singingpilgrim]

Haha, I forgot my s/n on TN was RyansBelovedBride. SingingPilgrim is what I typically use elsewhere. But I'm the same person.

I won't finish by June 1st. I got behind and then I got violently ill for a week. I'm better and I'm back to doing it, but it'll be by the end of June now.

[singingpilgrim]

Oh, right, the question. No, I don't have a gym membership. I wish I did, but I don't. I run outside, and I use dumbells and an exercise bike in my living room, I hang out with friends to go walking (and Thursday I'm going to a friend's pool for the first time this year YAY!!) I also use the Wii Fit and do exercise videos... but they are videos I've saved on my DVR from back when Discovery Fit and Health was just Fit TV and had great videos (now they just have Gilad and I'm not a fan). And now we're about to switch satellite providers and I'll lose those, so I'm sad.

Oh! And I guess I should tell you my new goals for June. I should probably message you, wise_rita...

[Cheesecake]

Oh hi, I forgot too, si a day late is perfect for me.
Can you add 'work on C25K' to my goal?

I've been doing real well this last week! Either running (finished week 1) or takung a 3 to 4k walk every day. Very proud of myself.

QOTW nope. Used ti have one, hated it, started slacking because I hated it and wasted money. Won't do that again!

I have fat fingers, please excuse typos!

[azure]

I'm doing really well with my goal. I am fitting into my old size 5/6 clothes from almost 10 years ago! This time last year I was a 10.

I haven't been running in two weeks because of work, but I will get back to it on Friday.

I don't have a gym membership, I go running in the forest.

Done.

Azure, that's awesome! Keep up the good work.

QOTW: We have a small gym and pool in our building, so I just use those. There's no elliptical which I haaaaate but I make due with the treadmill, rowing machine and stationary bike. But damn what I wouldn't give for an elliptical! The pool is great to have, though.

All is good with my goal!

QOTD: I have a gym membership that I will let expire now that I use the gym in my building.

[irish]

Goals are gone to the dogs... but at least I'm maintaining the current weight and cycling most days to work. Wasn't at pilates last week (physio) or this week (meeting a friend for a walk so at least it's still exercise!).

QOTW: Don't have gym membership anymore. Did a few times and was good to start with and then I started coming up with excuses not to go. My best attendance was when I was working in a uni and there was nothing else to do at lunch so I went to the gym most days, mainly for a swim...
