Woah, it’s Monday already!?! 😯 How the heck did that happen?! Did I even have a weekend!? All I know is that I want the work week to fly by because Mal and I are going on a mini vacation this weekend to celebration his birthday. I.cannot.wait!! 
Breakfast
For breakfast, I had a toasted whole wheat bagel with peanut butter and banana slices.
I added more peanut butter to the remaining banana. I <3 peanut butter. It’s one of the only foods that truly satisfies me. I love how it sticks to my ribs!
As always, I enjoyed some iced coffee + soy milk with breakfast. I’m rocking the Birthday Cake flavor this morning. It has a sweet, buttery, vanilla taste– just like frosting! 😀
The Great Gym Debate
I’m hoping you guys might weigh-in on my great gym debate. So, when Mal and I moved to a new apartment a few months, I joined a new gym. Now don’t get me wrong, I like my new gym. It has Body Pump, the staff is really nice, and it’s very affordable. But, I’m not getting my bee-hind there as often as I’d like.
Besides Body Pump, my new gym doesn’t have all that much to offer. The equipment is old and there’s not a lot of it. (I’ve definitely had to wait for an elliptical more than once. 😕 ) It’s also a good 10-15 minute drive for me, which isn’t that far, but I’m all about convenience when it comes to a gym. If it’s not easy to get there, I just don’t go.
So, now I am considering joining another gym in addition to my current gym. This other gym offers a ton of classes and it’s much closer to my apartment. It is, however, almost double the price of my current gym, so I’m not sure if I want to pay for two gym memberships. I think I can afford it, so if I’m going to use both of them, maybe it’s worth it?
Ok, let me lay it all out…
Current Gym
- Pros: Body Pump, staff and instructors, cost of membership
- Cons: Location, not many classes, old equipment
New Gym
- Pros: Classes, location, all-women’s gym
- Cons: Cost of membership, possibly crowded?
Am I being stupid considering another gym membership? I’m not going to cancel my current membership because I’m obsessed with Body Pump and the new gym doesn’t offer it. But, do I really want to pay for two gym memberships? Is it worth it? Should I just make the best of my current gym?
What would you do?
