Home alone saturday

This is the first Saturday i'm home alone. Sam (my wonderful fiance) has gone off into the city and it's just me and the cat.

Probably once every month or so he goes off to the city looking at music shops and car/hobby shops, which is good as I get to catch up on things at home, and enjoy the peace. The only issue is that in months past I have eaten heaps on these days, I tend to get a bit bored by the afternoon and start eating, so today will be a challenge for me.

Aside from this i'm going well drinking my water. I've had 1&1/2 600ml bottles so far today and it's only 1pm. I managed to drink about 4 bottles yesterday and felt great for it!

I've decided to scrap posting up my daily tracking, only because my internet plays up to no end and until it's fixed I can't always get on here each day. When it's working again I may go back to posting it daily.

In other news, i'm looking into some exercising options. There is one gym near here but I don't really like it, i've been there once before to check it out and although they had a "ladies only section" it was tiny, and in full view of everyone else .. and there were a lot of body building types there, which is just too intimidating for me at this stage. I'm not a very confident person, and need to work out in a place I feel at ease.

I did some research online last night, and was looking for a local fernwood .. but it's 20mins away, which isn't too bad .. but it is really a hassle to get to and I know I would not make the effort. There's also a curves which is really easy to get to, but i'm undecided if curves is for me, i've checked them out before and while i'm sure they're great I can see myself getting bored, and also if i'm going to a gym I want to be spending an hour there, not a 30minute circuit.

I do have a cross trainer at home .. but I lose motivation on it, which is why i'm thinking of my other option .. a personal trainer.

I found two in my local area who work independently of the gyms. One had info up on his website about his own weight loss, and his before and after shots were inspiring, however his website really came across as directed at men, lots of hard rock music playing in the background, and work out videos and options really directed at men, I don't think he'd be the right fit for me. The other guy on the other hand seemed really nice, very compasionate and I felt at ease listening to his video on the website, I think I may give him a call, or e-mail and find out some info on rates etc.

So i'm not 100% sure what i'll do at this stage, but I'm in the right head space to start exercising and making it a part of my lifestyle.
