Joining a gym that is.
From my lovely highrise office windows I look out to the sprawling downtown of the metropolis I live in and see a gym. People come, people go. I sit and gawk at them as I eat whatever leftover food I can scavenge from recent board meetings, usually stale chips (the undesirable, leftover flavors) and rancid peanut butter (which coincidentally isn’t so bad.. at first anyhow, then the rancidity hits you like a baseball bat to the face.) I watch all the pretty people go to the gym. Now I hope some fatty will gawk at me as I join the ranks of the pretty people who work out (PPWWO for short.)
I’ve been debating for a long time whether to buy some home gym cardio equipment or just go to a gym. The pros of an at home studio: Work out anytime I want, only pay for the equipment, privacy of my own home, etc. etc. etc. Cons: This could result in being a VERY expensive clothes rack and dust collector. Yep. That’s about the only con.
So I paid for an entire years worth of gym membership. I will try to make it there tomorrow and will report back all about my lovely gym experience.
Oh, I forgot the best “pro” about going to a gym – getting to buy cute workout wear. I don’t know why, but that’s always an exciting motivator.
Miss Fitness September will rise again (and hopefully before next September.)
Wish me luck. Lord knows I’ll need it.
xoxo,
Tiger

Soooooooooo, I shouldn’t be sitting here with a box of chip ahoy cookies, right? Well, technically I’m not. Because they are in a plastic bag. And half gone. Gone to my stomach. Where they will most likely throw down their roots and hang out for a couple decades. Oh wait. This is suppose to be uplifting. Uplifting, heh what a funny word. I wish my boobs were more uplifting. I wish my A$$ was more uplifted. I know.. maybe I should take the stairs tomorrow like I always do because TAKING THE STAIRS IS HEALTHIER unless of course you tumble down them (I can attest to this) and maybe I should park realllly realllly far away at the grocery store. Yeah, that’s more likely going to deter me from going for a donut at Albertsons (you didn’t hear it here, but they are the BEST chocolated glazed donuts in TOWN!)
So class, what have we learned?
I hope you think about these things…
TigerFIT adjourned.
And I’m throwing these damn cookies away (read: in the back of the cupboard after I carefully wrap them in Ziplocks for another date with danger/retarded eating binges.)

It’s been a long time coming, but finally it happened, by accident really. The other two members of TigerFIT stumbled into my living room this morning and I bored them with some rules.
1st RULE: You talk at TigerFIT meetings.
2nd RULE: You TALK at TigerFIT meetings.
3rd RULE: If someone says “stop” or goes limp, only if they don’t have a pulse are they allowed to leave TigerFIT.
4th RULE: Only two cheating food items a day.
5th RULE: One donut at a time.
6th RULE: No shirts, no pants? Well lose some weight, fatty and maybe your old ones will fit.
7th RULE: TigerFIT will go on as long as it has to.
8th RULE: If this is your first time at TigerFIT you HAVE to weigh in.
Everyone ignored all those rules, except weighing in.
We all set a goal – Health, weight, pants fitting, and no more than 1 item of junk food a day were the goals discussed.
Everyone agreed they need to find better snacks and meals. Time seems to be a constraint in almost everyone’s life, so finding healthy, quick snacks and meals is going to be key. I volunteered to find some good things for us all to munch on and will distribute them to everyone later this week.
We all agreed to journal everything we eat. This will give us some sort of accountability.
TigerFIT meeting adjourned.

Hi. I’ve been nominated to help my friends and family get healthy. This is the blog where I will document this feeble attempt.
