Thanks Felicia, My energy level is good, but not great. Yes, I do a lot of stuff, but that's not saying I don't collapse the minute I finally get through the door at night. If I were to work out in the morning, I would be like you I think...in need of a nap for the rest of the day. As it is, my workout is usually the last thing before I go home for the evening, so when I get through that door, I'm done. Some nights, I'm so tired that the DH has to warm up dinner for me (which I wisely cooked and put in the frige the night before). The spinning class, at first was great. The evening instructors at my Y are mostly "part-timers", working mothers, or singles with full-time jobs that picked up teaching at the Y as a way for teh free membership. I have to admit, that this session, I was officially in better shape than my instructor (who, as a side note is now 4 weeks out from WLS herself). Most of the time we were 1 on 1 in the class..she didn't even get on the bike but would stand there and talk to me about WLS and ask advice while I pedaled away (and she was the one getting paid for it). Married life is great. We are still getting through the major adjustments and figuring out our "roles" as far as household duties go. I had to have a chat with him about my need for "me time" on occasion, and he's been good about giving me space from time to time. We're looking forward to the future, which is a great feeling. Keep up the good work youself Felicia. I know with your son, and homeschooling, and trying to get to the gym every day - you're life must be SOOO hectic, I admire you!

Summer kills me. I just cant take the heat and I used to heavily this year to get out of working out. We have finally been having cooler weather and its like brought about such a huge change in my attitude. Its hard to get into a routine though. I do find that I spend the time before going to the gym talking myself out of talking myself out of going HAHAHAHA. I do like it when I am there though and am proud of myself for going when I am done. I hope one day to "want it" as much as I "need it" lolol. Congrats on getting back to Curves!! YOU GO GIRL! *huggles* Felicia =0)

Motivation is ugly isn't it. lol I ran out of excuses as soon as they said they provided day care LOLOL. I had been using Joshua as my reason why I couldn't get out there and join a gym because what do I do with him and I didn't want to have to get up early or go late to make it there. WHINE excuse WHINE! lol Now I don't have an excuse anymore *sigh* so I guess I gotta go lolol. Joshua has been loving it. He gets out of the house and then when I am done we go for a walk. So its worked out in many ways. *hugs* Hang in there. When its your time to be ready to focus on working out you will! It just kind of has to HIT you I think LOLOL. Felicia =0)

Omgosh I hope so cuz right now I am struggling. I am tired. My body is pissy at me and UGGG I HATE BEING SO WEAK!!! You are so inspiring!!! I wanna be just like you when I grow up *grin* Ok so I want your energy at least. I am hoping thats what I am headed for. I am tired of being tired for the sake of being tired. Its so funny about the 5K. I used to watch those on TV and think ( are they nuts ) and now I was just telling hubby the other day that next spring I want to start doing the walks for this and walks for that. I am not a runner. Just not my thing ( wasnt when I was thin either lol ) but I do like to walk and think it would be a great way to get out there, meet people and wiggle my jiggle a bit. Keep posting about your work outs!! Its inspiring!!! *huggles* Felicia =0)

OMGosh you should be so proud of yourself. Can you believe you are only 10lbs from GOAL???? Look how far you have come. You are doing just amazing!!! You are so right! We do need each other. We need to stick together and no matter WHERE we are in our journey we have to remember the ones that pulled for us and now in turn pull for them. *HUGS* Your so going to make it!!! Felicia =0)
