Gym? What's that?

I've been slacking off about going to the gym.  I only went once last week and the week before that.  Around this time last year, I had just signed up and was going a minimum of 4 times a week.  I think since I reached an acceptable weight, I've definitely relaxed the work out and eating plans.  I've been eating like a piggy too.  I think spaghetti on Friday night was the only home cooked meal we had!  My fitness goal for this year is not focused on losing weight, but working on my tone and definition.  I'm sure weight loss will accompany that (which I don't mind, my dream weight is another 5 pounds away, but I think that is pretty unrealistic), but I think this requires more lifting than cardio, and I don't think the machines at the gym are going to cut it.  To achieve my goal, I think I have to spend more time with weights, but still have time to run now that I'm signing up for the half marathon.  That seems like to achieve my goals, I have to spend longer in the gym (ick) or go more often (not so icky).  I have to train, but it's so hard to run that many laps around a track that is a little more than .1 mile long.  Now I'm just making excuses and this entry has lost any coherence to it if it ever had any.

Bottom line, I need to start going again and more consistently.  I'm hoping to go 3 times this week, but at least two.  I think since I'll be snowboarding on Sunday that can count as a workout.
