joined the gym

Yesterday, I went over to Cal State Northridge and joined the gym! There is a great weight room, all sorts of fun machines like a SPINNING bike one, an olympic size pool and a boxing room! Met the trainer, George and can't wait to get started.

Did I tell you all that I'm already down 5 lbs.!!! Who knew moving and drinking H2O could be so helpful. They say in weight loss that weighing yourself more than once/week isn't helpful. Plus it's not so much about the scale, as how you feel. And for this " "Feeler" that works great! The scale will be a quantitative way to know and my outcome goal verses my performance goal. Outcome focusing on the end result where as performance focusing on a process or action. Today's performance goal is to swim 1/2 a mile and do my strength training weight workout @ the gym!!! Posting workouts next week when internet/computer is up and running!

Question for my readers?
If you are shopping for one person and don't want to waste food, is there a better way to shop. Buy what you need daily? Or weekly? Is one cheaper than another? Specifically fruits and veggies?

Almost done reading: Hush and Mayo Clinic Diet
Listening to: 105.1 country station here in LA
Color of body: light-medium tan!!! Because I can! Using waterproof 50 SPF because then sun is killer here, gotta protect that skin!

New thing I learned:
If you drink a glass of lemon water first thing after you wake up, it speeds up your metabolism. Haven't looked it up to see if it's face or fiction yet! Doing it anyways...gotta get my H2O in and it's super refreshing! Plus, we have a HUGE lemon tree outside of our home. Freshly squeezed lemonaide anyone?! SO fun and smells amazing!
Off to LAX to drop off Beth and Audrey. They are off to Montana, lucky ladies!!! I'm all alone for the next 13 days.
Thinking about going to a pool party with people from All Saints on Sunday perhaps. Butn I want to attend Saddleback on Sunday for church! I really want to see all of the churches I've heard so much about here in So Cal: Mosaic, Crystal Cathedral, ect. If you have others please send them my way!!!
I've been here now 1 week and truely feel like this is exactly what I needed. Thanks be to God, the one who wants our lives to be full and abundant!!!
