I think I've become a little bit boring as it seems most of my weekends are filled with TV and books. It's like I've realized I'm a bit too old and/or too lazy to get ready for a night on the town and would rather cuddle up under my covers and veg. I never thought the day would come........



I've also been trying to knock some of the books off of my goal list and have set a side goal of reading one book a week. By the time I drive home from work, go to the gym, have dinner and finally have a chance to relax it's well after 8pm and I'm pooched. Going out doesn't even cross my mind.

I also met with a trainer at the gym for a free consultation this weekend. Don't ask me why I even signed up for this.....I saw the form, figured what the hell it's normally a $99 assessment and wrote my name in ink. Well, doesn't he call a week later. So on Saturday after my E test & licence renewal (what happened to sleeping in on the weekend, who the fuck makes appointments at 9 AM??) I went to the gym for my assessment. It was painless but rather long, over an hour and basically consisted of him asking me a million questions and then going back and pointing out things like "you said time was an issue for you, however you just said you live 5 minutes away from the gym...explain." I was however happy to see my BMI down even further and the number on the scale a few pounds lighter than I had thought. Of course the whole point of this was for him to mention personal training blah blah blah. He wasn't pushy which I liked and it did make me stop and think a little bit. I mean, I've been going to the gym for 6 years now and yes I've lost some weight and yes I'm in much better shape than previously but really after 6 years I should have a kick ass body, clearly I have no idea what I'm doing training wise. I could be wasting much less of my time if I actually had a knowledgeable person there by my side guiding me. So we'll see....



Totally off topic, I'm heading to Vegas again in a few months and just had a few questions. Have any of you been to the Grand Canyon and if so was it via a helicopter or foot?? I'm debating about doing one of those day hikes and would like some input, best way to get there etc. I know people who have done the helicopter tours but I was kind of hoping to spend more time there and actually walk around for a few hours so I'm not sure I want to pay $550 for a half an hour in the canyon.



As well, I'd like to see a Cirque show and had my mind set on O up until last year. Two men I had met on the plane had plans to see both O and Love and when I saw them again on the plane home, they said that Love blew O out of the water (tee hee). Any thoughts for those who have seen a Cirque show there?
