I took the plunge......

and took a tour of Mademoiselles today, (I was suppose to a month ago but backed out) and at the end I decided to go ahead and sign up. They had a special going where it costs 55 dollars for enrollment and the first month then it is 35 dollars a month to get full access to everything. Robotic tables, Free weights, all the elliptical, treadmills and Nautilus equipment.   I have choice of several levels of aerobics, water aerobics, yoga and pilates.  Best of all to me is the water area since I have hip problems. There is a pool for water walking, swimming as well as classes. The whirlpool tub is a walk in pool type that holds 15 people. They also had a dry sauna, and a steam sauna.

I will start Monday with a first visit where I meet with my own personal trainer (comes with membership no extra charge) who will do my measurements take into account my medical history and help me set up a plan to start with to help me with my goals. Mine of course is alot of toning as the weight will be coming off anyway. I am gonna sag but I might as well combat as much of it as I can.  I hope I can be as faithful about it as Amy has been.  My Goal for the first month is a minimum of 3 workouts a week. So if I come whining about going you all have permission to kick my tail.

Oh, I'm so proud of you!  That is so impressive and I'm happy you joined. You will feel so much better when you start working out.  Rock that place, girl!

By the way, I love your new pic!  Man, you can tell how well you are doing with your weight loss.  What a difference!  Yay Momma!

TY Kim. Anna and Debbie said they wouldnt have reconized me so I promised to update my avatar. The picure isnt the best but my mom is not a photograher at all. So I used what I had till I can find someone who takes a decent picture.

I am looking forward to getting started especially teh water exercises I have always been a water baby.

Even though I don't fancy myself a photographer I would be happy to take your pic if I ever get to meet you!  LOL!  I'm sure that will happen some time!

Now THAT'S the Mommahen that walked in to my hospital room last night! 

Looking good, kiddo!!

Thank You Winne. I was very happy tohave gotten to met you last night. And can't wait to see your transformation when I come back and visit WW again.

 Way to go!!!!!!

TYVM

I love the new picture!!!  You look so beautiful!!!!  I'm proud of you for making that first step.  I know how hard that is.  You can do this and in a few weeks you will look back and be amazed how exercise is part of your life when it never was before.    You go girl!

Thank You Amy! You all are so good for a girls ego!  I do hope that is becomes a easy part of my life.
