I have not been able to walk very far in years and today at the gym I desided to the treadmill first and I did 25 minutes and I was done before I even notices so I desided to do anther 25 minutes then I did my weights / tonning then I went on the eliptical to do my 5 minutes so said let me try 10 then I got to 10 and i said let me see if I can make it to 15 and then I pushed to 20.. yay me 20 minutes total on the eliptical and 50 total on the treadmill then I did the water areobics for an hour.. wow I feel so good that I can do this.. I am not sure but I really like my time at the gym.. not sure if that is weird or not but I feel good doing it.. I know its only my first month into this but I really like it so far and I am determined to succeed

Just wanted to share my accomplishment with everyone

    Sheila, YOU ROCK! GO GIRL! Working out makes me feel so empowered. So far I've been walking 4 miles a day with 2 pound hand weights. I bought a Walk Away the Pounds DVD tonight and plan on doing the 3 mile walk with the stretchie band. It's rainy and cold here. If it clears up tomorrow I'll do my walk outside plus the 3 mile WATP. I wish I could join a gym. Once again congrats! Keep going-life's a cinch inch by inch. Cindy

    Thank You all so much for your incouraging words.. I feel so weird cuz when I get up I just cant wait to get to the gym... and My husband is so wonderfull about it he dont complain about me spending so much time at the gym then when I come home he has dinner ready.. and he bakes everything for me instead of frying it.. He told me the other night that he is so proud of me and I started crying for some silly reason unknown ..

    Thanks again everyone :flowerforyou: :drinker: :happy:
