AHHH. First day at the gym....
I felt really good to get out there. The first thing I did was get on the treadmill. I walked for 30 minutes a little over a mile at 2.9mph (?) It was a great speed for me. I was able to get into a great groove. I really enjoyed my time on the treadmill. They had real nice ones with TVs on there, a place to plug in your iPod and contol it on the screen and to put a flash drive to record you information. I then tried the bike, could not get into it, and felt uncofortable. Then tried the elipitcal, could not get into that one. It was to hard on my knees. I did some upper body work with the weights. Very lightly. I am going to go back and do the treadmill again and then do some work on my legs. I came home and did about 10 minutes of my bellydancing video and decided I was done for the day. I am drinking my protien drink now and will make some dinner in a few. All I know it after the gym, I was hungery!!

Melissa - good for you! sounds like it went really well! keep up the good work. lys
Good job Girlie! I am sooooo envious of you. My stupid heart still won't let me work out the way I'd like to. I know I spout off about hating organized exercise, but there are SOME things I like to do, such as my dancing. Some days my body just ain't into it, ya know? Just think, each work out gets you closer & closer to looking phat in that dress!!!
Hugs!

Oh, Ann! I am sorry. I do understand and I can remember how I felt after my diagnosis. I took a long time before I could do anything. You are a wonderful dancer!! I printed out the picture of the dress and hung it on my stickyboard at work. So I look at it when I need inspiration. LOL

Thankful for the easy, grateful for the hard & hopeful for tomorrow. Well done Melissa!! You went out there and did it and it will all help you tone and lose more weight! I can't wait to go back agaain but with my inner thigh surgery and my arm graft it may be a few more weeks yet before the doctor will release me to exercise.... but one I am back I will be back with a vengeance! And also taking belly dancer lessons!
