Gym or not to gym?

I have thinking about joining a gym for a while now. In order to lose at least ten pounds I figure it may faster to increase my activity level in addition to taking PGX Daily.

I went by GoodLife Fitness to see what it was like. The facility was very nice with pretty much more than I could ever use. They had free weights, bikes, trainers and big screen tv's everywhere. Unfortunately all this luxury comes with a price. At about $54 + taxes a month for 2 years it would be an over $1400 commitment.

I also went to a Steve Nash Fitness world. The location I went to was small and old but the monthly fee was only $29 + taxes a month. Reasonably priced but I felt that the manager was too pushy with trying to get me a trainer etc.

I also went by a local community centre. The have annual or monthly passes available. The annual pass is $360 but would also give me access to their other facilities such as swimming pools and skating rinks. Pretty much leaning towards the community centre route. It may not be as glamorous as a fitness club but the goal is the same. Get started on getting fit.

Dance Central 2

If you are like me looking for fun activities that keep me entertained is a challenge. Since the kids got an Xbox 360 with a kinect sensor I decided to pick up a game called Dance Central 2.

The premise of the game is you try to copy the dance moves to various songs while the sensor detects how well you do. It's fun and you get a great workout.

I have a greater appreciation for performers and singers.

Even though PGX Daily says we don not have to do anything to change our lives why not add a little fun while burning calories.

Today's activity... Skiing!

I would like to think that obtaining a healthy body is not all about eating pills. Even if PGX can change your life.

So today I went skiing for the first time in 9 years. It was a great to be outside and in the fresh air.

I know my legs are going to be sore but it a good thing.

Timmy Ho you tempt me so

I had to run out to the bank and next door is Tim Horton's. I am tempted to pick up a new size large double double . Of course I would normally throw in a sour cream glazed donut for good measure. Not today because I am making a change. Better get in my car and get out of here.

Going back to the office to my bottle of PGX & a large glass of water. Haha.

White Tuna Sandwich

For today's lunch we're having a white tuna sandwich with a mini blueberry muffin.

As you can see I am one of those people who eat at my desk. That's bad right?

Supplements of the day

Yum yum. PGX Daily and the rest of the daily routine.

To be followed with a tuna sandwich for lunch.

Wake Up Call

So a friend of mine recently had a heart attack. He is only 37 years old. He is a professional and has a young family just like me. Just like me he has a tough time trying to juggle work, family, friendships and exercise. For me this is a wake up call.

I not been taking PGX Daily regularly & I have not been exercising regularly. But my attitude has got to change. So here we go again... today I am 190 lbs. and not as fit as I could be.

I have started taking PGX Daily again twice a day. I am also taking a multivitamin, Holistic Way Omega-3 Fish oil (Meg-3) and a B complex. I do have "greens" drinks that I take when I feel like I am missing veggies.

I am considering putting a photo up of current physical state but I am bit too embarrassed. I'll take the photo and then decide.
