A few days ago I got a message from Jordan at the YMCA stating that I had lifted over 5,500,000 pounds since I started using Fitlinxx to track my weight lifting efforts. Yesterday the scale in the men's locker room said that I weighed 197.2 pounds. So, my weight is slowly coming down.

I have found that over the past week or so I have been getting a little dizzy and nauseated during my workouts. Yesterday I did my half hour ride on the stationary bike and then felt so lousy that I skipped the rest of my workout.

I got a letter from the Y stating that I needed to bring in proof of income if I wanted to continue my "scholarship" at the Y. I am getting a reduced rate on my membership fee because of my low income. I have decided to cancel my membership at the Y because of various problems. They mainly boil down to little kids that don't behave. I would rather pay more to belong to a gym where the members act like adults!
