Yay! I did it! and I'm so proud!!

Today, Cameron & I had an appointment at the local American Family Fitness. I have been thinking about this since surgery, heck even before but was nervous, self conscience and had a feeling of inadequacy! Well the gentleman I met with today, walked me through the gym, showing me all the equipment, all the rooms, gave me schedules of everything that I could do and even showed Cameron things that were for his age group! I was sold. And so was Cameron. Of course, I think he liked the pool best of all. So Wednesday I have an appointment to meet with a Fitness Instructor. We are going to work out my exerise regimen after she becomes knowledgeable of my health history and my WLS and we are going to figure out what exactly it is that I am needing to do to get the outcome that I want. She is going to also show me how to use each of the machines that I will need to use to get to my ultimate goal. Then... It will be time to meet with the Personal Trainer that I hired. My very own drill instructor!!!

I am so excited. I can not wait until Wednesday!!! This is awesome!

I think that is great. If I through that I could afford it I would join. Because of all the equipment it would be benfitcal to do it. I am glad that Cameron likes it because it would help him too. Congrats and let us know how it turns out Wednesday night.

Good for you. The first step is always the hardest! SherylLynn

Good for you, Theresa!! I haven't had the nerve to appear in a gym, much less get a personal trainer, even though I know it is a good idea. I applaud you. Joe

It was kinda funny. I was questioning the personal trainers, asking questions. The one I selected is familiar with WLS. His aunt actually had RNY so he has more of an idea of what to expect and what our limits and goals may be. But thank you very much!!

Theresa:  Good for you!  The exercise is such an important component of this whole process....you will be so pleased with it once you get going.  It sounds like a great place...I've heard a lot of good things about it!  Sounds like Cameron is going to have a great time there, too!  :)

Great!  You will both have fun and FIT time together!

Good for you Theresa!!!!  Another accomplishment & once you get in to the program you decide on, many more to come!!!!

That sounds great!  i joined a gym a few weeks ago and have hired a personal trainer.  She is absolutely FABULOUS.  I've had 3 sessions so far, 3 more to go.  Then i'm on my own, she's showing me alot of alternatives than just lifting weights.  great news, i think you will love it! Lys

That is great Teresa! It took me a while to actually have the nerve to go to a mixed gym but it was so unfounded!  I hired a personal trainer too and she was just great at telling me how to work all the machines and the best exercises to do on them etc.... Good for you for going and I am sure Cameron will love it! You both will benefit from it! Woohoo!!! You are on your way!!
