Yes. It's that simple.

So, clearly I was in a funk. And to be frank, I might still be in it, but only a little. Today I did something SUPER anti-blah and I got myself up, dressed, put on my face, took a walk to the gym, and joined! THE. BEST. DECISION. EVER.

I like working out. I like sweating. I like group fitness classes. I like being healthy. I like losing the excess weight. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, if I like all these things, and I'm not happy...how about fix it?! And so I did. Now, it isn't easy when you are in a funk to get your arse dressed, get out the door, and all that jazz...but after a good night last night, I made the decision that that was going to be my big goal for the day. Annnnnnnnnnnnd...DONE!

I joined a great gym with LOTS of group fitness classes (which I adore) and I'm so excited. Now, I have somewhere to go during the day! Yay! I'm planning everything I'm doing tomorrow around a class that I want to try. (And will continue to do so daily!) This is adding value to my life/experience here even though it's a financial "burden" if you will.

Sometimes the greater the risk, the greater the reward. In this case, the financial risk may be high, but that gets me up and moving, meeting people, doing something positive for myself which adds to my motivation to make it here. Yeah, you could say the reward is quite great.

Moral of the story? Do healthy things that make you happy. That will get you out of your funk faster than a tub of ice cream. Seriously. And yes. It's that simple.
