I actually joined a gym!!!! Big step for me!! I need your help.

Once I get in a groove with this, you think they will think me crazy if I have my prayer time while on the treadmill?!! LOL!  Actually, I probably will have prayer time tomorrow morning because I will be begging God for the strength to just do it long enough to not look like a complete dork!

Bless your heart. The Lord says to you, "My grace is sufficient for you; My strength is made perfect in weakness." He'll help you. :)

I am so proud of you.  It took me a week to work up to 5 minutes on the elliptical-once you break that 5 minute barrier it comes pretty much in 5 minute increments after that-5-10 and so on.  At one point I was up to 45 minutes (years ago).

I love hearing about all the changes and growth we are going through-it makes me feel like less of a dork knowing other people struggle with things that "should" be simple. 

Okay so good to know about the 5 minute increment thing so I won't try to set my goal too aggressive!  I can't ever imagine 45 minutes though.  Holy cow! 

Amy, I'm so proud of you and I'm inspired! You can do this! I'd join you if it wasn't at the crack of dawn.

I love that smiley face guy!  I bet that is what I will look like when the alarm goes off at 5:00 A.M.!!!  See now that you are all proud of me, I actually have to do this thing, right?!  Cuz if I didn't you would have to take it back and I can't have that! LOL!

Please fling some will power to join the gym on me... I need to do this sooooo badly.  I was talking to a friend at lunch time today about joining.  Then I think of ... when would I do it?  I am busy in the morning getting kids ready for school... and then I race home each evening to have dinner with my family.   I know it sounds like I am making excuses but after dinner it is homework... then bath time and then getting kids to bed.  I am open to suggestions if anyone has any of how I can find time to work out... I really really need to!!

Anyway.... I am so excited that you joined.  You have done amazing with your sleeve... you passed me right up! LOL

HIJACK!

Karen - I know you from the VSG board.  I remember when you were a little pre-op gal and look at you now!   You are doing great!  Glad to see you on the OK board!

Karen is my "sleeve sister"!  We both had our VSG the same day.  AND she is from the great state of Louisiana which of course I am from as well!  She looks awesome, doesn't she? -Amy

OMG! You both are from the great state of Louisiana???  I'm from Louisiana too.
This is so cool!
