Ready, set, exercise!

OK so I'm ready. I'm going to exercise. Last night I bought my new shoes, laid out my workout clothes (shorts and t-shirt), and set my alarm. Then I thought, what the heck, I'll just start on Monday, which is when I go back to work. Isn't that terrible? It's just that I HATE exercising. I'll do it because I know I'm overweight and I don't want to risk developing diabetes like mom and dad. Plus, we want to go to Disneyworld over the summer and I don't want to be puffing and huffing the entire day. The worst thing is that I've been paying for a gym membership since October. And to top it off, we bought a threadmill for Christmas (which is still sitting in a box in the garage). OK, so I promise...I'll do it on Monday. Really, I will. Twice. I'll go at 530am (as usual) and then at 430pm (afterschool). But for now, I'll just keep my new and fashionable tennis in their box...

SPECS: Natural light, 18-55 lens at 53mm , AV mode at 4.0, ISO 200, SS 1/60 (camera resting on table) in RAW. Shadows and slight saturation increase, cropped and resized for web viewing.

Cristina, you are so funny. Those shoes are looking good [great photo] now to get them scuffed up a bit - you can do it.
Thanks for the feedback, a lot of what you said makes sense, well, some of it. I will be back in the gym tomorrow for basketball and will try the things you suggested. Sounds like lighting is the biggest obstacle in a gym. I am going to post a few that were taken at a different angle that I like.
