I have Anthem BCBS also, and I am just starting out.  I am nervous about the approval process as well.  They sent me an email saying that it is covered when medically necesssary, I'm just wondering how many hoops I will have to jump through.  These comments are all very encouraging though!

Yup Dave, Ill be at the meeting monday night... skipping the 1st softball game of the season for it... but its the thing I do for me ;)

Ill have to keep better track of the kind of exersice I do... I keep focusing on the gym but it really is more than that!

Eh, sign me up for 750 this month, dont want to jump in too deep and bum myself out the 1st time I participate!!

I'm going to stay with 1200 minutes.

I don't have little kids anymore and I have the opportunity to go to the gym on my lunch atleast 2-3 days a week which makes a huge difference. I'm very lucky with that. It is challenging to not feel guilty about doing something for me. There are times when I feel very rushed. or thinking that I should be doing this or that. I always keep telling myself that exercise is key to my success and well being. I must admit thought that when I call my husband after work and say that I'm going for a run or heading to the gym I feel guilty. He's usually very good about it - usually. :)
Just do the best you can and try to take baby steps to do something for you.

So how do you guys get in so much time for exersice in a month?
I find with work then the kids baseball schedule and husbands softball that if I get to the gym once a week im ahead of the game.

I also have BCBS and had absolutely no problems.  In fact, the policy that our business had originally would not cover the insurance, but they worked with me so we could change the insurance to a policy that would cover it, and even gave it to me at a reduced rate for the remainder of the year.  I got approved in 2 days, and they paid for the repair of the hiatal hernia also.  I have not had a problem with them since.
