New ODU Fitness Center

Today I was thinking about the new recreation facility here at ODU. I think everyone on campus is wondering when it's going to be open for business. I think this issue has been going on for awhile. Last semester I did a PR campaign on it and the fact that it was so late in opening was one of it's PR problems. Also, the fact that noone really knows if it will open by spring. On a positive note, it is a fantastic building and has state-of-the-art equipment--or will it by the time it opens-ha ha!

Here is a link to a virtual tour that's a bit cheesy, but gives an idea of what we are all waiting for. Us Internet Explorer for best results.

Anyone know more information about the opening?

I got a personal problem with fitness

Sizzling bacon, pants are tight.
A muffin top that's not so nice.
What is happening around my belly is very much
like a bowl of jelly.

Hi my name is Susan Platt. I am a student at Old Dominion University, (and the author of the clever poem above:) and I really want to get healthy. Everyday it's a struggle. I had high hopes to exercise and eat healthy today, but another day has gone by and fitness got left behind for studying and everyday responsiblities. I am a group with two guys in a Public Journalism class. and we are working on the same issue--Fitness and Health. I have created this blog to get some support (hopefully we can support each other) and get some ideas and insight from fellow bloggers about this subject.

Here's the question, and the mystery: How do I get and stay motivated to workout and eat healthy?
