First trip back to gym today!

After talking with Bob and hearing how he exercises on the road, I got on a bit of a guilt trip.  I decided that I needed to get off my azz and get back into the gym.  So, I went this afternoon for the first time in over a year.  I hit the treadmill and walked 2 miles. Then, I did 2 sets of 15 reps each on the seated chest press & butterfly machines for chest, and  rope pulldowns & cable kick-backs for triceps.  Of course, I used extremely light weights since I am only 4 weeks & 2 days post-op, but it sure felt good to get back to it and get my muscles moving!!  I know I have a long ways to go, but at least I'm finally on my way!!   WooWhoooo!!!  Gonna do it again tomorrow!!!

If you shower up there at the gym after all that work then I have just a few words of advice for you:  Soap On A Rope.

Great way to take your life back! C'ya Bob

Nicely done, Bama! Your combo of weight lifting and cardio is going to turn you into a lean, mean healthy machine. You've inspired me to hit the gym today which I have been ignoring in order to spend more time on my bike. Thanks, man!! Boner

Atta Boy Bama!  You are doing great and you are such an inspiration to the entire Locker Room!

Way to get your azz in gear my friend.  You will feel tons better now that you have kick started yourself into moving and lifting again.  Working out is now such an integral part of my daily life that if I miss a day, I feel bad.  I finally took some control back in my life with exercising and my family (kids/wife) all know that I get an hour and a half to myself everyday to workout = weights/cardio.  It has made a hugh difference in my weightloss since RNY.  Good Luck Bama and the rest of you guys who are working out now.

 Keep it Up! Best Wishes- Dx

Thanks for the encouragement guys!!
