Here we go again.

I went back to the gym today. Not to work out, but to sign up for classes for the next session. It felt good, but a little scary. It's been nearly a year since I last stepped through the door. M (my kick-ass instructor, and owner of the fitness studio I work out at) greeted me with a smile and a hug, and made me feel so much better. I was worried that I would see disappointment on her face when she saw how far back I've slid, but all she said was, "You still look good, I don't know what you're talking about." I love how non-judgmental she is. She's an amazing person. She has talked me through some struggles before, I don't know why this time I was afraid to reach out to her. But that's what I do -- turn inward, and stop talking. Ironic, for someone who never shuts up.

So, like the title says, here we go again. I'm hoping this time I can figure out why I failed last time, and stick with the lifestyle changes necessary to become a healthier, fitter person. I don't want to say skinny, because I'm trying hard to not make that was this is about. But losing a few pounds and a few clothing sizes certainly wouldn't hurt.
