personal fitness goals

Yesterday I did something that I've been talking about for pretty much the last decade. I actually walked into a gym. Once I reassured myself that lightning hadn't struck me down immediately (I feel much the same walking into churches), I had a quite nice chat with a membership person, and it seems I'm on the verge of actually starting to work out.

This would complete the...what's one more than a trifecta? Quadfecta? of long-term things I always talk about and never do: join a gym, take a refresher Japanese course, get a piercing, and change my hair. As such it would be a fairly stunning development, personally. It would leave only relatively minor trivia, like learning to juggle and dating.

But when Kelli the membership person asked about my personal fitness goals, all I could muster was "you know, just be a little more personally fit." Which doesn't really cut it, goal-wise.

So I've been brainstorming some more concrete goals that I might actually be able to build a fitness regime around. Here's what I've come up with so far:

I want people to be attracted to me for things besides my hilarious wit, brilliant mind, brooding melancholy, hidden depths of kindness, and really really good looking face.
