Starting next Monday (i.e. one week from today), I will officially be in wedding tone-up mode.
I ended my gym membership when we moved to a different part of the city back in October. I don’t want to join a full-fledged gym, but I don’t trust myself to work out on a regular basis unless I have some kind of structured class to attend at least twice a week.
