the gym

oy i am in worse shape than I thought..  I did 2 laps (4 lengths) in our 25 yard pool before my arms started to cramp.  so i thought i'd stop.  i'll do 4 laps tomorrow.   and sunday
maybe 6 on Monday!

baby steps... it's a start!! I need to get my ass movin too. I've just been stressed out trying to get my damn approval. I almost thought about gaining 40lbs so I could be "fat enough" for VSG lol. Isn't that terrible?

Just going and trying is a huge accomplishment. I remember what my first time was like on the treadmill - pretty scary. But over time, to my surprise, I began to be able to do a little more and then more again. Congratulations on taking this important step for yourself! Keep up the good work!

Baby steps, Ness!!!!  Before you know it, you'll be doing 14 laps!!!!

Hell, just closing the front door behind me is a big step  Baby steps. You know it will work.  Maybe a combination of activity.  Dont look at it as exercise.  I  look at activity, walking, biking etc.
I was a GYM RAT for 2 hrs daily 4 -5 days a wee****il my Doc put a stop to it.  Saved my WLS program.

I'm happy for you! I need to follow your lead and get my lazy ass to join the gym - at work it's practically free but I have to take those steps and as someone put it "close the door behind me."

good for you Nessa!

Nessa,
way to go!!!  I have a gym membership here in Reisterstown, I am focusing on getting my shoulders back to something useable, and now my knee. It is tough, i know, but keep at it. Pools are great, keeps the stresses down on the joints.
