The weight is almost over . . .
I did it . . . I joined the gym!

I am so stinking proud of myself I can't stand it! I am now a member of Gold's Gym. I started going last week with my girlfriend (had a free week going with her) However, she could only go twice - so after much complaining, the hubby said to do it.
I did. I talked them into only a 1 year contract. Currently they only do 2 year contracts at 19.99 a month. Well, there is no way I am going to commit to a 2 year contract. This is my first time to ever be a gym rat, and who knows how long it will last. As the hubby says, I am very fickle.
So, I begged and pleaded and they let me sign a 1 year contract at 24.95 a month. I think that was pretty fair.
Tonight was my second night to go in a row - and of course, today I went and bought workout shoes (because I had none), sure enough I am now the proud owner of a quarter sized blister on my right heel. This sucks!
I have been researching ways to keep from getting blisters and to help them go away sooner. Any idea how long I need to stay off of it - I am dying to go back tomorrow - any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

 |  Have you found a solution to your blisters yet? I've tried a few things--wearing 2 pairs of socks, with the first one on inside out, the second over it looking normal. It'll cut down on the friction. I also just read about some "blister" stick sold at the pharmacy. It looks like a solid deodorant and you rub it on. Hope that helps. :) |

| |  I just read about that stick too - so I can get it at like a large pharmacy? I went today and bought some "running" socks - they are supposed to "wick" the moisture away from my feet - but my feet didn't sweat - I think it was the friction. I will try your 2 sock plan. Thanks for the advice! |
