I just got back from my first workout at the gym. I am almost to sore to even type, but I actually feel great! I rode 4 miles on the bike, I tried the elipticle (not sure how to spell and working out on it did not go much better when trying to workout on it) for about 2 minutes....2 very LONG minutes. I did some weights, step aerobics, and even did squats and crunches using the big balls. I only had one fall using the ball, but I saw it coming so I made it very graceful.
My friend Leslie hung out with me the entire time and was such a great supporter. She showed me some of the best ways to workout. I also ran into a couple other people that I know, so this whole going to the gym things was not as scary as I thought it was going to be. I am mostly nervous about going there the first time and not having any plans to meet somewhere there. I have to do just so that I can get over it. I am always afraid that someone will wonder why the fat chic is at the gym. Well, DUH!!! To get rid of the fat moron!!! However, I am actually to chicken to say that to them. What I would normally do is stop going. I am working to change my thought process to, Hey, I remember when that girl first started...she looks great!! I want to work to not only be an inspiration to myself, but also to my kids, my husband, my friends, my family and to anyone else that had struggled with weightloss.
One other thing, I know some of you may be wondering what my weight is currently. Well...keep wondering. I am not to the point where I am comfortable revealing that...yet. I promise to you that I will, but I do have a goal set for myself and I need to get to that point first yet. I want to be able tell you where I am at now and where I started. Rest assured, it is not a huge goal. I believe in setting small goals for myself and reach those goals, then set another, then another.... I will tell you this. I am above 250. That is all you are getting from me for now.
Thanks for taking the time to read my blog. I hope that you find, humor, inspiration and motivation.
