an inevitable side-effect of 4 years of drinking beer

I wish I weighed less and was in better shape.  In this, I am the antithesis of unique.  Boring, in fact.  However, it is one of the many paths on my way to self-improvement, so here I go talking about it.
Connected also with my desire to save money and be more fiscally responsible as I prepare to leave the cozy nest of post-grad University life, I bought a coupon for a month of “Women’s boot camp” from Groupon last month.  Apparently, so did a thousand other people.  So tomorrow morning I have an “assessment” appointment.  I have no idea what is entailed in this, but I have a theory, since it took me 2 weeks to score the appointment, that is it really a ploy to stagger the 1000 + people who bought the Groupon to keep classes small.
It’s amazing how close this tiny, insignificant hurdle came to making me strategically forget about the whole thing.  Luckily, I have a blunt and insensitive friend who, on hearing my plans for a 5-day-a week, boot camp style, kick your ass fitness class, his response was snort and a “yeah, right.  Good luck with that.  I give you two days.”
Now I have to at least do three.  But actually, I am pretty determined to see it through and do them all, unless, of course, it sucks way worse than I think it’s going to.
As to the previous post, last night was a first night on a luscious new mattress, and thank god I actually slept through the night with only normal nightmares.  Exercising daily is one way of preventing sleep paralysis symptoms, so maybe I can keep that in mind tomorrow morning.
