Guess what....

So it has been since I believe January since I have been to the gym. And back in Jan. they were remodeling the entire thing. I always see the gyms on tv looking all high tech and nice set-up my gym the YMCA was just all scattered around tredmills here and there, ellipiticals here and there. Well I went back last night. Yay for me. And HOLY smokes you should see this places. Fabulous. They got all new machines every single one of them. And we actually have windows to look out of and mirrors...eh to the mirrors. lol. But every machine has a fan on it and a little "CardioVision" a flat screen tv. I was like omg I could stay here for hours!  I stayed for an hour. 10 minutes on the Ellipitical for my first day 10 minutes on the bike, 30 minutes on the tredmill. And ok there is this new machine...seriously I would describe it as doing lunges in the air backwards. Holy geez! I thought I was going to die...but I like it all at the same time cuz I could so feel the burn! lol. So tonight I will be going back and so on and so on! Oh yea and tanning membership tonight. YAY! :)

Wow, what a good deal.  I'm sure it will make the time go faster.  Sounds like you've got your motivation in high gear.  Keep up the good work! Brenda

Chriata.... that is cool... I know I can work out better watching TV too.... you almost forget you are exercising.... I said almost forget...LOL

That is so cool! Hey, that is one major advantage of being single...you can go for hours wherevah you feel like going.  Why not the gym???? I i thought ellips would kill my lower back problems, but dude i love them too. you can cycle backwards, then forwards, and it feels really great.  I'd even consider buying one for home if i had someplace to put it!  As for the mirrors, it is good practice to look at your form and also to begin to appreciate YOUR body, for all you may hate it, it does so much for you. Susan Powter had written about that long ago, and that book helped me to  really L@@K at my body. It is beautiful, in its unique way.

Good for you.

Exactly being single I can stay there for as long as I wish because umm I have nothing else to do. lol.  The elliptical is my best friend. LOVE it. I would buy one myself but eh I'll just stick with going to the gym. I actually can't wait to go back tonight. I might drive seperate from my mom soI can stay longer because I know she will probably want to leave after an hour....I might too but I might not. :) Next weekend.....the 15th.....I have a date. :)

yesss!  a date!!!!  ooooh the anticipation...let us live vicariously thru you!!!!  kiss and tell, kiss and tell!

I haven't even literally met the guy yet...I have been talking to him um for about umm 2 weeks now or so.  He knows that I am plus size and what not still a little nervous about it but I know if he can't except me for me then he isn't worth my time. So hopefully all goes well....I'm pretty stoked

as we have said, OUR kinda guy does not get all up in a dither about real wimmin.  So, baby, let your light shine.  i think you are drop dead gorgeous. Work it, Girl.

Oh I'll be working it. lol. Can't Wait! :) So after next Saturday I will have to tell all ya about it. :)

Good for you, that's great about the new machines.  AND, you're looking forward to going back...definite plus.  Way to go. Enjoy that date.  If he's smart, he'll see what an amazing and beutiful woman you are.  As Neecee said, real men enjoy real women.  I met my guy at my heaviest and he always is calling me beautiful.  Now mine is definitely a keeper. Don't forget, we wanna hear how it goes.
