Endorphins and Happy People

Oct 26, 2009

     I feel like a new person!  This going to the gym thing is great!  I never liked going to the gym, and especially not alone.  Now, I love it.  Working out gives me energy for the day and I am ready to go to sleep at night.  I usually go to bed after 2am.  Not anymore!!!  The world is a better place, now that I am exercising.

     Here is the way my week goes...  Monday and Wednesday is water aerobics from 10am to 11am, then free swim until 11:30.  On Tuesday and Thursday I do resistance training on the machines.  Two sets of 15 reps on the most weight I can handle.  Saturday and Sunday, I take off to rest my body.  Friday is scrubbing day.  I scrub the floors, walls and bathrooms.  Then I dust, vacuum, and sweep everything.  Finally, I wash the bed sheets and put away the laundry.  For me, that is a work out!!!  At the end of the day, I feel great.

 According to the scale, I have lost 4 pounds in the past two weeks of following this schedule.  Now, for some people, it may not be a big deal.  But, for me, losing even half a pound is cause for celebration.  I am well on my way to losing the required weight before surgery.  However, I think the best thing is that I am forming a good habit in working out. 

So, cheers to this new week!!!!
