Deb M. & Lori A.'s Fitness Regimen

Hi Everyone, It's been awhile since I posted and I wanted to share the new exercise regimen that Deb M. and I have undertaken. We have a beautiful fitness center at work and have comitted to working out together during the week and on the weekends. The Center has fitness instructors, every machine possible, circuit and free weights, exercise classes, video tapes that you can use there and/or bring home, fitness books and magazines, even a punching bag. Deb took kick boxing lessons and is teaching me how to box. We both find that having an exercise partner is a big motivation to show up as well as to do our best while we are there. So far we have been meeting at 6:15 a.m. to work out, since we have full showering facilities, blow dryers, hair supplies, etc. That way, we don't make excuses after work. We'll keep you up-to-date on our progress!!! Lori

That's awesome Lori! Working out with a partner is great motivation. Keep up the good work! Take care, Michelle

Hi Deb M. and Lori That is wonderful to have WLS Partner!!! You both are lucky to have nice fitness at work and keep support each other :thumbup: Hope to see both of you on March 1 for post op support meeting Hugs Kathy K

Hi Lori, What I want to know, is, Where do you work?!!! And are they hiring??? Thanks, Heather

Hi Heather, We work at Bristol-Myers Squibb. It definitely is an excellent perk!! Take care, Lori

Hi everyone: All this talk of fitness and exercise is great motivation for me. I use my gazelle at home (still very shy about gyms) and it works well. Doing 2 miles per day... my commitment to myself and promise to my nutritionist. I am also thinking of getting a "ball" and found one for just $9.95 (+s&h) yesterday. Including the link for anyone interested in purchasing one. http://www.coresecrets.com/ It comes with the ball/pump/cd/log book/food suggestions. I say anything that gets me moving is a good thing. Thanks to everyone for continuing to remind me that exercise is part of my weightloss program...and beyond! Towanda

Congratulations you guys! Sounds like you got a pretty system that works for the both of you. That makes working out a ton easier! Good for you and keep up the great work! xoxo, Phyllis
