February 6

Today, I'm grateful for Katrina, an angelic woman who works for Curves.

Last Friday, I decided that I would never make it back into that gym and an entire year of membership fees with no visits was a ridiculous waste of money (you could say that procrastination is a problem of mine). I called to cancel over the phone and was told that I had to physically come to the shop to sign papers.

Katrina's familiar face greeted me with a big smile. I knew her from when I was regular and we played catch-up chat for a few minutes. Then she dutifully gave me the paperwork and asked me why I was quitting. I mumbled some lame excuse about being busy.

I don't know what it was, but after I signed the paper I realized I didn't really want to quit. My body was aching to go sweat on those machines again. I just needed my head to be convinced. Katrina tore up the paper, handed me a new access card, and said, "See you on Monday!"

Tonight was my first night back, and it felt wonderful.
