Actually, that's not what I wanted to tell you guys. I wanted to tell you that I joined a gym. David and I both did. We actually got a 30 day free pass, but our first day was Wednesday. David did really great. I didn't do too bad, but I did much better yesterday. Wednesday I was sore afterwards and also Thursday, but yesterday, I wasn't. I also had my IPod with me yesterday, so I was listening to REO 2 by of course, REO Speedwagon. It's one of my all-time favorite albums.
David's working today, so it's an off day for us, but we're thinking of going tomorrow, the place is open 24/7. Monday is checkup day at the vet for Jake to see how well the thyroid medication is working. The vet is in the opposite direction in the town west of us. The gym is in the town east of us. We'll probably go Tuesday and Wednesday and then again on Friday.
Through sheer laziness and not really watching what I ate, I gained the weight back that I lost last year. I'm hoping that this will give me the motivation to keep going and not only lose weight, but also to get back into shape. The fact that David was told by the doctor to lose weight is another motivation. If I keep going, hopefully he'll keep up the motivation to continue too.
Hopefully I can finally go from this:
To this :):
Heck, if I got to looking like that, it would be a downright miracle. I haven't looked that good since I was in my early 20s then kids happened and the rest, as they say, is history. :)
Good for you! I am trying to lose weight and yesterday began privately journaling what I'm eating and counting old style WW points. If you know anyone who goes to Weight Watchers, you'll know what I mean by that.
ReplyDeleteI need to lose weight and move more, but I've been having heel pain and have been using that and heat as an excuse not to go out and walk. My goal is to make positive changes, adding them as I go instead of trying to change EVERYTHING at once. I too often fall into "all or nothing" thinking and that certainly isn't working.
I've been a member on line, but haven't been using it. I got bored with having to count points and was usually going over. I have the books and calculator so have been thinking of just doing it on my own instead of paying the monthly fee.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you might have a heel spur. I had one years ago and the doctor gave me a rubber wedge to put in my shoe. That helped it a lot. It did eventually go away on its own.
