I have become quite a gym rat haha! It's a great addiction to have. In fact with working late and having errands I missed tonight and I feel terrible for it. Wednesday and Sundays are my "rest days". But I love the gym now.

Quick question how is your eating?
I'm thinking of starting an exercise regimen at home but sometimes my eating is not so good. Any tips?

Amazing! I am on my first week in the gym too! I used the elliptical machine for the first time and love it, even though I can't stay up there long. "The race is not given to the swift or the strong but to the one who endures to the end." #PowerUp[emoji95]

Any suggestions? I am struggling to make gym going a habit. I enjoy it when I go but struggle to keep going.

Also have any suggestions as to what works best while There? I feel lost there too lol.

When I go to the gym I get my cardio in first so that it's done and out of the way. I start with the elliptical or treadmill on incline. I do at least 1-1.5 miles on one of those. Then I move to weights for a little bit alternating arms and legs on different days. After 15-20 mins of the heart rate slowing down some I step it up with some dumbbells doing overhead press with squats at a decent pace. I try to keep my heart rate up when doing those and I alternate squats, lunges and curtseys at a moderate pace.

As far as my eating I eat chicken, shrimp, protein shakes and such. I am at very low carbs probably 20-30 daily. I haven't had pasta or rice since surgery. It sucks but it's worth it.
