Ok, so I did it. I signed up for a 2-week trial at Butterfly Life with the intention that I'll join their 6-week Move It or Lose It Challenge next week. That way I get a no-hassle, no-commitment way to see if I'm really going to stick with this whole working out thing. With this program I get full use of the club, access to a weight loss portal online, 2 meetings with a personal trainer to set my goals and follow up on my progress, and a few other things that I can't remember off hand. I'm hoping that this will kick my butt into gear.
Speaking of kicking butts, mine was kicked at spin class. The ladies showed me around to all the equipment, took my measurements and let me participate in a spin class today. Man am I out of shape - and I must have looked like I was going to have a heart attack because the spin instructor went out to the lobby and fetched me a bottle of water. It doesn't help that my rosacea goes haywire when I get my heart rate up. It's been 45 minutes since I stopped cycling and my face still isn't completely back to normal. Oh well. Maybe once I'm in better shape, I won't get so flushed. One can hope, at least.

Making a Change
I've been trying to lead a healthier lifestyle lately, but I find all my healthy choices in food to be boring. I'm a chocoholic/candyoholic/get the largest size because I just love the way food tastesoholic. Yeah, you read that right. Well, my in-laws bought me a Wii fit for my bday back in March and I have enjoyed using it, but I find that I'm not keeping up with it as much as I should.
Today I went into a local woman-only gym called Butterfly Life and got some information about membership. I like the way they have their gym setup (a circuit like Curves + dvd classes + live classes + cycling) and they offer a 2-week trial offer. Hubby thinks that we can swing the monthly fee if I actually use the membership. While this totally makes sense, I feel a bit of weight on my shoulders to commit to this. I really want to do this and I really want to succeed. I need to lose 20+ lbs. to be out of the overweight category on the BMI chart and 40+ lbs. to get to my "ideal" weight.
In any case, we decided that I should at least do the 2-week trial, possibly sign up for their weight-loss summer program and then decide on a contract at the end of the summer. We'll see I guess.
