So, for the last few years I have been able to use the excuse of my kids as to why I don't work out. Not that I had to offfer an excuse to any one in my life, except myself. A week ago today I decided it was time to get back to exercise. Another excuse i have been using is the cost. The studio I joined is approximatly $1oo a month. A week ago today I joined up and I dove into it. I worked out 6 times in 8 days. My goal is to work out 5 times a week which equates to about $5 a workout. So far I am really enjoying it but was still feeling a little guilty about the cost.

Well, today I had a realization. On the way home from work each day I rotate between driving through Wendy's and Taco Bell. My average lunch costs be about $6. I down about one thousand calories and go home to promptly nap with my kids. Guess what, since I started working out I haven't eaten fast food once, not once. I have been eating turkey sandwiches, cottage cheese, salads, just crazy stuf!

My membership still costs me slightly more than my fast food habit did. However, considering that I have 3 pairs of jeans that cost more than $150 each I am saving money in the long run. AND, I am feeling pretty good about myself.
