Went to the Gym? Club? What????/

So, is it a gym or a club? People used to say.."Wow! you go to the club every night! Man your amazing! They think I went to go dance or something...

Then they say.. "No!! It is a gym... not a club.."

Well.. My understanding is that it is called a club because it takes a membership...Ya know.. a health club... Like they used to have "Gentleman's clubs..."

So, either way.. Yes, WE did go.. and it was fantastic....

La la la...

Going forward


So, now I have worked out, done cardio at the gym for over a week. Today I did not go because of work and the gym closing early..

So now comes the hard part. Which is, I am giving myself a day off a week but I get on myself because I wanted to go today but did not. SO tomorrow I am planning on going and I will but even so, I don't want to stop. I am afraid I will stop.

I have a friend at work who said I should not think about stopping and not be afraid but just KNOW that this time is different. This time I am going to just keep doing it and doing it and doing it and get in great shape.

One of my goals is to snowboard next winter and I saw someone snowboarding on TV tonight and it looked kind of scary.... I used to ski.. Like a long time ago.. I just wonder if I will be in good enough shape to get out there again and do the snowboard thing...

I know that my plans now are to continue to go to this gym until we come to a place that I can switch to a gym with spin and other exercise classes for legs and back... I know going to a class like that will be great for me. Also, I feel like this is now consistent for me. I have consistently gone for almost three weeks now.

I just don't want to stop. I always get to a certain point and then quit.

I am noticing things now that are improving in my body. I am not exhausted when I get home from work. I feel stronger, I feel less pains and aches in my body. I can bend over to tie my shoes and not feel so winded and I don't get cramps in my side if I bend over wrong or laugh. I think I have lost 10 pounds but I am not looking at that. I am concentrating on how I feel.

I am going to a "Design your own program" on Tuesday which is about lifting or working with weights. I want to work on my lower back, arms, and legs.. Mostly lower back and arms as the cardio works my legs.....

I love that Jenifer Leilani is going too and I want to make sure we keep each other going. I am really committed to making sure do this together. THAT is the key. I really believe that..

Up the hill and down the hill


Went for a walk with the doggies today.. We went up this hill not too far from our house.. The thing is, the "Hill" is pretty long and decently steep... In the past I have walked up, stopping, breathing, resting......

Today, Pax, Holly and I walked briskly up the hill.. the whole hill... All the way to the very top of the hill.... It was awesome.... It was fun! I did it....

Then of course we had to walk back down and back home... Feels good to do that... I may not be able to make the gym today so I wanted a brisk walk at the very least. . We where gone probably about an hour I think... So now back home, they have been fed, I have been fed and instead of needing a nap I want to just get stuff done...

I love feeling this way. I feel like I could do more and I will.. My next step, after pay day.. Is to get a heart monitor so I can make sure I am in at least my 60 to 70 percent zone when exercising. That way I will know for sure I am getting my heart rate up to where it needs to be...


It is sooooo nice to be writing in this blog again. Because when I write in the blog... I am working out....

PUMP UP THE JAM

You can't tell yet,,, But I can... One week later....
So, I have much MUCH more energy after going to the gym almost every day with my honey pie...

I just cooked a chicken for dinner for Jen Lei and I with potato's and onion and other goodies (The hardest part about backing the chicken was not eating all of it.. GD is tastes so goood!)
... Did all the kitchen stuff... walked the dogs.. About to do all kinds of other stuff... Bottom line...

This going to the club and just doing 30 to 35 minutes right now is the bees knees.... I feel soooo much more energy and I feel better about myself..

Energy.. That is the most important element that has been missing from my life. Not feel like I can do much of anything and getting tired out easily. I hated, HATED that feeling... Right now I am like chompin at the bit to do more stuff, just move, anything! Sooooo I am not gana sit here any longer..

Help me stay pumped just by giving comments now and then!!

Thanks everyone for going through this with me!
