Today I Went To The Gym For The First Time In 3 Years

Even though I have walked more than 2,000 miles and biked more than 1,000 miles since I started my pre-op weight loss program in February 2008, I hadn't actually worked out in a gym for more than 3 years until today.  My employer opened a fitness center in my building and I was the very first person to use it!  I lifted weights for 45 minutes and used the eliptical machine for 30 minutes.  I am pretty sure that I am going to be tired and sore tomorrow, but it felt good to get a workout and it is something I plan to keep doing over the winter when I can't walk or bike outdoors so much.

Great job, RP! Keep it up!

How fortunate to have that perk in your workplace!!!!! Will be a HUGE blessing in the winter when you can't get out and bike! USE IT!

Press on....
