This morning I ate breakfast with Trent. He got a new job at Providence Hospital a few months ago. He works in the business end of things. They have been remodeling for what seems like forever. They just reopened their kitchen/cafe last week. He invited me to come and eat with him. It was better than most hospital food. While I was paying for my meal the cashier asked if I was an employee. I said I looked like an employee and asked if I could still get the employee discount. I was told no, but if I had been wearing one of those blue scrub shirts I might. ;)

 

My meal wasn't that much anyways. O had two pancakes as big as the plate for $1.65 and two eggs over easy for about $2.00. Thank you, Trent. I enjoyed it.

For a while there I was a member at the Waco Family "Y" and tried to work out on a somewhat consistent schedule. I had the opportunity to have a personal trainer for long enough to get me started in the right director (thank you, Karen) and I guess stayed at it pretty good. But, things happen and finances get tight. I dropped my membership and have been intending to walk the dog more, etc.

 

I learned about Columbus Avenue Baptist Church's Center. They bought the old YMCA building back in 1993 and renovated it. They run good athletic ministries out of it and have retained it's "workout" focus. Members of Columbus Avenue have free access to The Center. As a ministry to full time ministers and seminary students Columbus gives them a free membership to The Center with a $10 registration fee. 

 

I am back to working on a consistent exercise schedule. The Center is not as fancy as the "Y", but it is more convenient and less crowded.
