Back to Gym

Well, today was the first day at the gym since October. I did 44 minutes of cardio and 90 crunches. I stopped when my back started to burn. I was going for 45 minutes, so I didn't do badly at all. My goal is to workout every day, even if only for a little while. I missed yoga today. I actually overslept. My Pilate's session on Friday went well. I think that Lynne is a good instructor. A little bossy, but I appreciate that she pays attention to my pain and body. I like working with her.

I feel optimistic. I feel that I can lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle. I am amazed by how much weight I've gained and how very fat I am. I'm beginning to trust, however, that I can make a change in my habits and lifestyle that will result in a more healthy weight. I do feel giant, though. I can't believe I allowed myself to get this big. It's hard to focus on the journey rather than the full picture. Sometimes, I feel defeated before I get started.

I have to continue to work on my attitude.

Good for you on getting back to the gym - I find that so intimidating after having not gone for a while. I am glad your are feeling more confident about being able to make a change - that is where true change starts, with belief! Happy New Year!
