Ok I started the Self Challenge

I printed out my Gold's Gym coupon and took it to the facility this morning and got me a pass for the next almost 5 months. Since I have two weeks of medical leave, that's what I'll be doing for the next few weeks. I didn't receive any pressure or anything to purchase a membership; however, that might not be true at other Gold's Gym Getting ready for my sister's wedding in June and I'm going to look good. They haven't seen me in about 2 years and they were apprehensive about my having the surgery. I sent them a picture of me from this past New Year's Eve party so they are definitely going to be surprised about who they see.

Great job NaDine!!! Almost 5 months free? That's an incredible deal. I just got all settled in at my neighborhood Y but appreciate you passing the information on to everyone. Have fun at they gym and let us know how it's going! Steve

You're welcome Steve -- we all deserve some free workout space after the decisions we have made to have this surgery. This past Sunday I attend the Body Pump class -- works the thighs and some upper body -- wore me out. I had to pace myself because I hadn't done that in quite awhile. I had to think about how many weeks out of surgery I was and remember it hadn't been three weeks yet. I let my body recover Monday and I wanted to do cardio today; however, stomach was feeling queasy so I layed low at home and it was such a beautiful day too. I probably didn't feel well because I stayed up too late completing some homework -- like I'm suppose to be doing now. Oh well, there is always tomorrow and we shall move forward.
