My gym offers a free fitness evaluation to all members. They test your VO2 max, your metabolism, your body composition, etc. I didn't want to get this done while I was pregnant. Then I had the baby, and didn't want to get it done while I was still really overweight. By the time she hit six months, I kept saying to myself, "I'll schedule that next week. I'll do it the next time I see a trainer. I'll wait until I don't have the kids with me."
Well, last week my gym got bought out. Today I walked past the fitness evaluation room, and it's been emptied. I guess that equipment wasn't included in the buy-out.
Bummer. That's one opportunity I didn't capitalize on.
Moral of the story: Well, I think you can figure that out.
Ever miss out on something just because you never set a date to do it?

I actually won a prize drawing when I was working: 2 free round trip tickets to anywhere in the US or Caribbean.
I was stoked! Unfortunately, I had my heart set on the Caribbean and flights were limited. Trying to coordinate with Eric's med school schedule was daunting. I kept saying we'd figure it out, we'd find a date to go... and then I got pregnant with Gwen and a) I didn't feel like going ANYWHERE and somehow time got completely away from me. I never scheduled it. By the time I felt better, the deadline for activating the reward was gone. Even though I felt well enough to enjoy the trip, we didn't schedule it in time. THAT was a huge disappointment.
All the time! I just never have enough time to do everything I want to do. And there are things that get put off, and put off, and put off, and then suddenly the option isn't even there anymore. Like exhibitions I want to see, or plays i want to go to. Never enough time.
Elisa, how sad about the free tickets! what a loss.
Kate, that's exactly what I mean!
