Um, I'm back now

Wow, where does time fly? It's two years later and I've lost 40 pounds. It's a loss based on eating less and eating healthy food. I haven't begun exercising the way I used to, but when I do exercise, it's much easier. Somewhere along the line I've lost ambition and it's really difficult for me to get up early in the morning to exercise. When I get home from work, it's too difficult to get my exercise clothes on and work out. I am full of excuses.

We live in a rural area and the only fitness center in town is pretty pathetic. We have a private sort of gym in town with personal trainers, but I elected to spend my (extra) spending money on cello lessons instead of a trainer. I'm not sure if I have my priorities straight or not, but for now, it works. My workouts include walking/running out on country roads, or cycling. I'm really interested in getting a "bag stand" with a heavy bag and adjustable speed bag station. I used to go to a boxing gym to learn Muay Thai kickboxing and loved the atmosphere and the hard workout.
