Nonexistent workouts

OK. Now I'm totally sloughing on the activity front. I need to start working out again. So, I've joined a group competition/activity with a bunch of coworkers to see if that won't spur me. On the upside, I've been fairly disciplined about food choices so at least I'm trending the right way again after being less than good over the holidays.

I was sick of being sore from running and a little concerned that I'm causing long term damage to the joints. Thinking about joining the Y and giving the elliptical a try. Also debating about lifting one day a week which is something I haven't done in forever. It all starts next week, so wish me luck!
