Ok so I went to Golds Gym yesterday and what a work out I had. I had been going to another gym that was through the hospital where I work at and I felt like I was not getting a good workout. Well I am living proof that I was not I was going there 3 times a week and was never sore and one day at Golds Gym and I hurt like I have never exercised a day in my life. We did lower body working out my legs, butt, and inner tighs and we did core which is back and stomach. I work upper body out when I go back and do core again. I think I am going to like this because you are rotating back and forth each time you go. There is upper body and lower body and core and each time you go you do core and either upper or lowe body. We always do cardio everytime you go I was on the tread for a whole 20 minutes on top of everything else I done. I was very proud of myself because I did so good.

Ok story is the gym I have been going to through the hospital does not offer child care and my daugter can't exercise. So I went to Golds Gym today to check it out and needless to say I joined. I start to morrow to get my exercise program and get my body analyzed. I know the the analyse is going to say I am 50% fat (lol). I am so happy my mom actually paid for the first month for me and that was awsome for me because for a long time I was thinking she was no supportive of me getting banded. I know that sounds crazy but my mom thinks you can lose weight on your own by eating small meals and exercising. She is even thinking about joining the gym. Well that is it for today and I will let ya know how the first day goes if my finger are not to tired to type!!!!!

Ok I must admitt I have never been one for exercise and have never been able to stick to it. Ok there I said it exercise is like having an anal scope to me (never had one) but I would hate it as much as I do exercising. Maybe it will get better for me (I hope) because as for now I HATE IT. I know I need it but still is there not a way to cheat at it?

As you can see I am frustrated and just venting to lose a little steam. I did however exercise yesterday did a walking dvd. I confess I did nothing on Tuesday because I was to dang sore to even lift my legs every step hurt and every breath. I know it will get better but I am realizing that this blog is helping me help myself. I know I sound crazy but if you knew me you would understand I am CRAZY lol.

Ok and today I did my 15 min power walk mile exercise by Leslie Sanson Walk Away the Pounds. It wa only 15 min but hey my legs are burning if you have not got one of the dvd get one it is great on rainy days when you don't want to go to the gym or like today I did not fell like walking in the heat.

Yea for me

Well I has been a month since surgery and this is my first visit to the gym. I am so sore it has been three months since this body has seen the gym. Why do we do this to ourselves and why don't we ever learn? When someone can answer that question please let me know!!!!!!!

Well I spent 15 min on the bicycle and 5 on the tread and that was it 20 whole minutes and I was sweaty and out of breath. I was like is the not an oxygen tank anywhere in here lol. I consider that a job well done or me because I went to the gym all by myself like a big girl. I usually wait for a group but I took the big girl pill and went and enjoyed it I had time to myself (something I don't get much of). Well I intend on going to the gym 3 days a week and do a work out dvd when I don't go to the gym. I will keep you updated on my progress.

Ok I have never done a blog before but I wanted something to look back on in a year to see how my mind and body has changed.

In May of 2008 I weighed 386lbs and my LapBand surgery was scheduled for June 24, 2008. I did not want to be that big on the day of surgery so I started to watch what I eat and leaving food on my plate. I lost 11lbs doing that and I weighed 375 the day of my surgery. I am now almost 2 weeks post-op and I am down 12lbs so that is a total of 23lbs lost. I already feel the difference my knees don't hurt as bad and I want to move more. I feel great and I can't wait until I can start going back to the gym. My daughter told me today that my thighs look smaller do you know how good that made me feel. I was on cloud 25. Well enough for now I will blog again later.
