Getting ready for the Veggie Challenge. Bought some protein powder and a tiny hand blender that works surprisingly well today.

I just want to say that I eat the worst dinners in the world. I'm hoping this vegetarian thing and cooking blogging thing will inspire me to cook better dinners. Probably 90% of the time I eat a sandwich for dinner. Or cereal. Yep, I don't get home from work until about 6:45pm and by that time I'm starving and it's late and I have no patience for cutting up vegetables and steaming rice and putting chicken in the oven, or making some semblance of a decent meal. I need to change this. But how?

I'm also going to be joining a new gym (my previous membership at the YMCA expired at the end of August, and now I live too far from there) but I can't decide if I:
a) want to go to a lower-end gym that's a minute from my work, which I physically see on the way to the bus stop so that I can't avoid going after work, but will be harder to get to on weekends or anytime I'm not at work, and which has a less intimidating environment; or
b) go to a high-class "see-and-be-seen" gym that is five minutes from my apartment, for which I will have to get off the bus after work a stop early (which could be easily "forgotten"), but more convenient to go to on the weekends, which has better perks ie. a heated outdoor pool, spa, better drop-in classes (but would I actually use any of these things?)
Herein lies the dilemma. They will both end up costing me roughly the same. Basically, I just want somewhere that I will actually go to, and after work is usually when I work out.
