howdy ladies

hey guys confession time. Well I have been sucking at going to the gym, well ok I haven't gone all week. You'd think with my brother being here I'd go to relieve the stress LOl. Well yesterday I talked to my girlfriend across the street and she has decided she is going to start going with me. We live on military housing and they have 7 gyms that I know of. We are going to go to a different one everyday and then pick which one we like best. it will be nice having someone go with me...and someone who's on my activity level.I did loose 2 pounds this week...I guess from all the walking I did over the weekend at the airshow and the fall festival. This means I have 27 more pounds to go until I reach my goal! Mimi

Hi Mimi. A partner to work out with is so much nicer than doing it alone! I have a gal here at work that likes to walk with me. She is much more fit than I am but is willing to walk at my pace. Which I can say I have really picked up in the past two weeks. She and I really encourage each other to make right food choices and exercise. It's nice to have someone along for the journey (physically anyway. All of us are in this together but you know what I mean.) You are so close to goal! I just know you are going to get there soon. Hugs, Robin

well I will confess too! I haven't been working out at all! I am using my surgery as a crutch, I could at least be walking. RIGHT? I leave near a FT. also. Not only would I check each one of them out but check out what times are good! I know that some are busier than others and at different times. It will be nice to have a buddy go with you! Motivate each other on bad days. YEAH for you on the 27 pounds I am so jealous I have 43 to go and that seems like ALOT! I hope to be in a size 10 by the holidays..... we'll see.... You can do it! Love to see a picture of you soon! Amy I

Hey Mimi, that sounds great! It's always good to have a partner for the gym, that should help motivate you. Just tell her to kick you in the butt if you say you dont want to go and vice versa!! I know my DH gets me going sometimes when I dont want to. Good luck and enjoy all those gyms!!

Hi Miss Mimi! I know what you mean.. I can't afford a gym membership until some of the medical bills are gone so I've been walking. With this cold weather though, I just CANNOT force myself to go out there at length for exercise or any reason. I lucked out and somebody sold me a nice elliptical machine for $30 so I've used that the past couple of days. I'd never been on one before and boy is it tough!! I can only do .5 mile before I feel like my heart is going to come out of my chest. It says my heartrate gets to 147 beats or so then. Is that normal?? I dunno. I envy your 27 pounds, BTW, I've got something like 140 to go. Argh.
