I just moved to a new apartment that has all kinds of amenities, including a fitness center. I set a goal for myself to get into the gym within one week of moving in. So, I started today. I really wanted to go, but I had to fight with myself to get up and make it happen. But once I got in there it was great, like coming home. Only problem is I'm sure I overdid it and I'm sure I'll pay for it tomorrow. It's only been a couple of hours and I'm already really sore. ...

I've only lost MAYBE 4-5 lbs in the last 5-6 weeks so I know I need to add exercise to up my game. I originally set a goal weight of 140 lbs, and I still have about 31 lbs to hit that goal. BUT, I am so happy in a size ten, where I am now, I'm not sure I want to get much thinner. However, I REALLY need to tone up. Alot. So if I get thinner, I guess that's ok too.

Anyway, thanks for listening to me go on and on... wish me luck with my motivation!

Good for you! You are set up for success. That is great that the gym is in your building. Keep taking advantage of that gym.

Good for you for pushing yourself to get in there, even though you didn't feel like it. I think that's what is going to make you successful, because it's on days like that that you push through that leads to long term success. Yes, you're going to be sore, but don't let that stop you. Soreness is good. It means you're building muscle; and the more muscle you have, the more fat you burn! You have to work through the soreness. Keep it up!

Thanks for the encouragement! I am super sore today, but it's a good sore. Tuesdays are my extra long work days, but back to the gym tomorrow. I'm really getting excited now!

Good job! I know sometimes it is a chore to get there, but after you work out don't you feel great?? Like you accomplished something to help yourself. I am actually a much better mom and wife on the days I get to work out :-) For me it also has been the difference in breaking through when my weight loss slows down. If I really get slow, I up the running / cardio and it usually jump starts it in no time! Oh I also wanted to add that the first 2 weeks I was SUPER sore, but that passed and I don't really get sore anymore.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
