i had promised myself I would walk since it was free. Always found an excuse not to do it. Figure paying a gym, even though it is only $15/month will give me more incentive. I can hope anyway. I know I need to do this, so that should be incentive enough. Old habits are hard to break.
 
I am going to do the same thing today. I thought free walking outside would be good, but with the weather temps changing so much. I can't breathe when it gets cold out so I end up not walking. I'm off work until the doctor releases me so I need to get as much walking as I can. I'm also hoping to meet some people and make some friends.

We can keep each other in check and make sure we are going.
 
I am lucky, I work in a school and one of the duties I have is to monitor the halls for a half hour every day, I am able to get a mile of walking in in that amount of time, I do that three days a week, the other days I have to help monitor the auditorium where the kids sit for a half hour waiting to eat lunch so I use that time to walk, and if I don't get enough walking in I come home and get on the treadmill

You lucky girl.
 
My gym has a Zumba class. I'm not ready for it yet, but I'm looking forward to the people and the music. My stomach still hurts when I pickup things. How long will it take before my stomach stops hurting when I go to pickup things? It was so nice to get out of the house. We're going to hit 60 today. I get so depressed when it gets cold, this is warmup is so helping my mood. Christine did you get a new haircut? It looks good. Tracy is the kids excited about your weight loss?

Hi Anna. Geesh. You don't want to do Zumba yet. Lol. I don't think I'll ever be ready for that. I'm too klutzy. I still have some pain with lifting heavy items and it has been 2 months. Wow. 60 has got to be warm there. We've hit it a lot this winter. Kind of miss colder weather. I did get a new haircut. The front has to grow out another 4", but I wanted to start getting the shape.

The kids have been noticing the change, a few were scared that I would die during surgery lol, but I told them I would be fine and I was lol, and the staff has been wonderful , lots of compliments
 
There are several gyms around here. I wish I had someone here to go with me. My husband would go but he wouldn't want to stay as long as I would. We joined a gym together before and would go about 4:15am before work. He'd be ready to leave by 5 and I would want to stay another 15-20 min. I would go after work but once I get home, I don't want to go anywhere. That's bad, I know.

I. An understand not wanting to go to the gym after work. I go at 6:30.
 
We have a "cardio" room in the building I work in. they have a couple of elipticals and recumbent bikes. At least that's what I can see through the window. As early as I get to work, I should go use the bike for 10-15 min. and then go to work. I may go look in there tomorrow and see what they have. Then in a couple of our other buildings, they have weight machines, etc. It would all be free. Just making myself do it.

Oh yes. Take advantage of this.
 
talked to one of my co-workers today. She goes to the gym in one of our other buildings on Mon. and Wed. after work so next week I am going to start going with her. I usually work from home on Mondays but I'm going to change it so I can go with her. They have ellipticals, treadmills, recumbent bikes and free weights. It's a start.

That's wonderful. Wish I had someone to go with.
 
hopefully this will get me motivated to do more exercising. I have a Bowflex downstairs that I haven't used in a long time. No reason not to be. Just lazy!
