Just a side blurb, but I did finally join a gym after years of talking about it.  Indeed I did join Club Fitness as 
I mentioned previously.  Unfortunately, with the combination of illness, being busy at work, and not having any workout clothes that fit me, I've been a member for three weeks now and haven't gone yet.  Hopefully I'll make it there by sometime next week.  Although being really sick isn't a bad way to shed some pounds I've learned.
