Oh, I know. Today I actually managed to go one level up halfway through my work out on the elliptical.
Hopefully that will help compensating for all those horrible cookies I have been forced to eat today.
Our YMCA is having a promotion for December ... if you work out 12 days during the month, they give you a "12 Days of Fitness" T-shirt. I'm easily motivated by free swag, so I've been hitting the gym regularly this month. 
Hopefully it'll help combat the usual holiday weight gain.

Too many cookies! 
Seriously, instead of breakfast while you're lounging in front of the tv watching some crap show about Hugh Hefner? 
So I decided to take a run outside. This only confirmed how much I hate running. I'm still glad I did it though. And for my gymnastics and yoga exercises I was banned inside my mother's tiny dressing room where I couldn't even strech out my arms properly. Not that I'm complaining or anything. 
How is everyone holding up?

Maybe they'd give you two free shirts.

My goal for the next couple months: lose my gut. It's not huge, but it's annoying. I have fairly wide hips compared to the rest of my body anyway, and these love handles just make it so much worse!
Christmas has been ok, but Thanksgiving was tough. I put on several pounds because of stress.
My back is getting a lot stronger, but the rest of me has been at a standstill for months now.
I'm thinking of joining a new gym. My current one doesn't have flexible enough hours for me, so there are too many times when I can't even get there to lift. I need a 24-hour gym. I made so much progress at my old gym because it was always open and I could workout whenever I felt like it.

I find that ellipticals just don't do anything for me. I last they don't feel like they do. Hard to work up a sweat on those things.
Not if you have the resistance up to 10 and try to hit 160 rpm's. Good workout.
I'm going to be joining a gym, probably tomorrow. Anyone have an advice on what kind of things I should look for?
Enough machines to allow multiple people to use them so you don't have to wait long. Avoid gyms with fees. Clean locker room and bathrooms.
RAMA
"gyms with fees"? Do you mean "extra" fees in addition to dues, or do you mean able to use the gym completely free, no charge?
That's the advantage to teaching in a high school where the football coach teamed up with the sports boosters to renovate our weight room.
First time I've been in in quite awhile. I hurt. I promise not to slack this time!
