Goals and little treats

I said wayyyyy back in January when I made my goals for this year that weight loss and fitness were one of my goals for 2013. I am really focussed in terms of weight loss at the moment, I am really embracing Slimming World and everything it has to offer. I said on the same post that I would think about joining the gym when I got back from my holiday and sure enough, I looked into the prices etc and yesterday we went for a look around.

The gym which I decided I wanted to join is quite a new gym.. well sort of. It has always been a gym / swimming baths which we have used for years but over the past 12-18 months they have had a new building built next door with all new equipment and all posh etc.

I hadnt been into the new building but people had told me it was lovely and a good facility inside. As I say me and mum went for a look around yesterday. I have to say I was SO impressed. The swimming pool is a 25m pool with at least 2 lanes blocked off at all for people who want to swim which I thought was fab! The gym itself was lovely and really open. It has lots of different equipment and there is plenty of the machines so i dont think you would be fighting for them! Also I loved their little technology gadget which you get when you join. Its like a little key that you use for all the machines in the gym, when you go swimming and a lot of other things apparently and it helps you to track your progress! O love this idea, particularly as I want to build up and get fitter as I lose weight. They also have a great range of classes avaliable and a climbing wall which I will defiantly be having a go of. 

Anyway tonight me and mum are going back to take our filled in paperwork we picked up yesterday and are officially going to join (we couldnt do it there and then as we wanted the corporate membership as you get NHS offer but we didnt have our ID badges). 

As a little treat I had already decided I was going to treat myself to a new bag to take to the gym with me. I have had my eye on this for ages and on the way home yesterday I picked this up.

I picked this up from Argos for £14.99 - it should have been £19.99 but it currently has 25% off. 

I was mooching online earlier and I accidentally may have also ordered myself some new trainers! 

I really like Sketchers and when I saw these sketcher running shoes on the Sports Direct website for £20.00 with £54.99 off - I couldnt not have them! I am excited for them to arrive now (is that sad) 

I cant wait to get cracking in the gym. I will keep you updated on my fitness goals etc :D
