Excited for the gym!

I never thought I would ever say this, but I am excited to join the gym this morning!! I am just over 3 weeks post op and down over 25 pounds just cleared to start using the treadmill. I haven't looked forward to exercise in years.

I am joining with just a monthly membership because I prefer to exercise outside once it thaws (which will probably be May here ;) ). My hubby is joining with me which is fabulous! My weight loss is spurring him to be healthier also. WLS is impacting my entire family in a very positive way!

My whole family belongs to our gym here. I love that my husband and 15yr old daughter are so supportive with my workouts. I know for me I need that. Keeps me motivated. I have even been going to zumba classes our gym offers, the instructor is so fun and nice. Now don't get me wrong I have to modify the moves big time. but I am moving the whole time. This weds though I made it thru the whole class. WOO HOO!!

My surgery has made a difference in my family too. They don't have a weight problem but they are eating healthier and we are exercising more together as a family.

I love that I am not a bystander anymore to my life! And so does my daughter!!!

Go get em!! You got this girl!!!

That's Fabulous! What a sweet hubby!

I joined at 2 months. It was hard to get going but now I love it! I am down 52 lbs in 3 months and have pep in my step. :) The gym does wonders!

I joined 2 months before my surgery and never went and then didn't go until week 4 post op but now I'm excited! I'm going 4 days a week 2 days zumba and 2 days body pump which is a toning class. Hope you have fun with it too!!!!

Today was my 3rd workout and I am really enjoying it! I have dropped 5 pounds in 3 days and I will take that any day. I am also sleeping better at night which hasn't happened in years! I also found out my gym has an aqua massage table and that is definitely going to have to be tried. If I like it I can pay $25/ month for unlimited access to it. The gym lady says I could even use it 3 times a day if I want to and if it isn't booked.
