Gym Is Open (Weekend)

Sorry I'm not so reliable getting the gym opened...I guess my life is too busy...which is a good thing, right? Yesterday, I tried to go to an AquaFit class, but, it was canceled due to a swim meet.  So I shopped instead then went back later and did laps in the pool for 40 mins since I already had my swim suit on.  Kicked my butt.   Today, I'm headed to the gym and plan on just doing cardio.  Treadmill and eliptical for at 1 hour. What did you do to move your body this weekend? Lori

Hi Lori, Thanks for opening the gym. I don't usually write in, because I don't usually move (LOL). But I think it's time I start noticing the changes I am making in that department and give myself some kudos. So I want to note that on Saturday I went grocery shopping (alone of course) and did NOT park in the handicap spots, and walked at a good clip through the whole store. Then I went and got gas, and put air in all four tires (by myself) and I found it is not bothering me at all anymore!!! It used to be I could barely bend over to get the caps off. Now I just had to keep pulling my pants up. When I got home I brought in all the groceries (used my cart because I live in an apt bldg on the second floor) and then put away ALL the groceries right away. Absolutely unheard of for me. Then I got out of my bra right away, changed into my "at home" clothes, and realized I didn't need to lay down and rest. I was dumbfounded. I guess not carrying around a small child on my ass really makes a difference

Reading your post brought back a lot of memories for me.  Yes, this is how it is, changes come in small increments, but are so meaningful.  Woohoo for you!  You are getting it! Keep moving in anyway you can.   The more you do, the more you can do...that is the way it works! Hugs, Lori
