So today, I did something I have been longing to do for years but what too scared. I joined a gym, and actually went, got the tour, and did 30 minutes on the treadmill at a brisk pace. I didnt think I could talk myself into the door, let alone complete a 30 minute workout.

I know it doesnt sound like much, but for me it was a major accomplishment.

It feels good working out. We had a new gym just open up down the road from us with a $1.00 sign up and $10.00 a month which included unlimited fitness trainer. I have committed to 2x a weeks and already met with the trainer. She was very open regarding the surgery and set me up with a good workout taking in consideration that we cannot eat a lot and have to be careful on how many calories we burn during a workout until we can increase our calories. I have just got up to 800 calories daily. Keep up the good work!

Congratulations! I know what you mean about talking yourself in the door. It can be so hard when the place is full of super fit people that never had a weight problem.

That is GREAT

Way to GO!! Hey just getting out of our old routine is a NSV!!! GOOD JOB!!!

Yah fo Michelle. You go girl!

Congratulations on your achievement!! Feels good, doesn't it? t took me FOREVER to go myself. I was horrified at just the thought of going myself. But after going a few times, I noticed that my particular gym has quite a few big girls which helped ease me in. Now I go whenever I want. It's also good to know that you have a trainer who's not so indifferent to your situation.
