I finally strolled into the weight room! How scary is that place! I have never worked out in a fitness center, but I did last night! It was so awsome! I used machines that only worked my thighs, bicepts and tricepts! It was so fantastic! My arms and legs felt a little like jello, but it was such a great feeling! I can see why so many people go there. I am now making that a part of my four day routine. Not only will I do the water aerobics for an hour, I will be in the gym for an hour too!
I got pretty lucky though. I had a personal trainer for the hour I was there yesturday and he showed me how to use everything and we adjusted the weights so I did not overdue myself (you know I would have wanted to go in there and put it on the heaviest I can lift and probably would have ended up hurting myself). So it was great having someone take that fear out of the fitness center and show me how to work out the right way! So far this morning I am not to sore. Anyone out there that is exercising, get to the gym and use the weights!!! They really make you feel great! Now I am not just trying to lose weight, I am toning and firming my muscles (hopefully if I lose the weight I want, with using these weights I won't stay flabby). No more arm flab!!!!!!!
Thanks for reading!

That is fabulous sis! You have the exact right idea...if you keep on the weights while losing weight, you will definitely tone as you go! Congrats on moving into the weight room. I'm so proud of you for staying motivated!
Can you believe it has been a month!!!! (and I am still going)!!! I put on my "fat" jeans today for dress down and they are too big in the waist!! I cannot believe it! It was a huge challenge for me to go into the weight room and I am sorry I didn't do it sooner!
Good job honey keep up the good work, sometimes we have to push ourselves a little harder and after we push were glad we did. I tell you sometimes I'd rather stay home and watch tv but after I've gone to the gym I feel rejuvinated. Horray
love mom
Thanks Momma! I love ya! Thanks Nelly Too! Words of encouragement are always good!
Tracy,
That is so awesome. I just signed the family up today for the community center. I hope I benefit from it as much as you do. I think you are doing a great job. Keep up the good work
Elaine, we will have to go sometime together! They have free daycare for "family" passholders. Maybe you will be able to do the water aerobics class with me one night!
