Exercise is Back in my life!!

Hi! I wanted to post my latested reward...EXERCISE. For all of you who know me, I really haven't been able to exercise since January, because of multiple surgeries. Well, Friday I went to the gym and it felt so right, that I had to go back on Saturday. I started out by walking on the treadmill and then did some short spurts of running (my favorite) and then after cardio I went to the weights. I did take it easy and did light weights, as I know it will take me some time to build back up to where I was. But oh what an alive feeling I had. I haven't felt that feeling for six months. I am so looking forward to going to the gym tomorrow (Monday), as I decided to take today (Sunday) off. I don't want to over do it. I am a little sore in the legs, from squats and lunges, and alittle swollen in the tummy. I guess that is to be expected. I just wanted to share my exciting news. OH-I put the pedometer back on and I started logging my steps, it shall be interesting. Hugs to all--- Nicki

Awesome news Nicki. Way to hang in there. Glad to see you are able to work out. Little baby steps all over again. I go 5 days a week now and rest on the weekends. But I find I am bored when I don't go. Gosh I do need to get a life. I'm sure you're feeling perky again too. ((HUGS)) Elissa

Hey Nicki, WTG that's wonderful!!! Glad to see your feeling much better. ~Shay

Ain't no stopping you now. Glad to hear you found the gym again. Don't overdue it, but give it your best. The eliptical is great for cardio and low stress level on the joints. Go get em' Rob
