I'm still here! I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. Yet.
I joined a gym a month ago. I spent the first few weeks trying the elliptical torture machine and recumbent bikes. The first time I got on the elliptical I was only able to make it three and a half minutes. I got off and did the bike for the rest of the 25-30 minutes... (closer to 25 if I'm going to be perfectly honest). The next time I went in I stayed on for 7 minutes, and then 10, then 12. Then 20!! I can do 20 minutes on the elliptical! It hurts still and I don't love it. But I'm starting to look forward to it, just a little bit.
I saw a trainer who encouraged me to join a BodyPump class. I haven't done it yet. It doesn't happen at a convenient time for me. It isn't an impossible time. Just not ideal and I haven't made the effort to schedule it yet. It scares the lights out of me! It looks like serious business. I'll get there though. It's on my list. :)
The trainer also set me up on a weight circuit. There are 13 machines that I go through in a circle (hence circuit). They cover everything upper and lower body. I think I started out with weights below what I was capable of, again because it made me nervous. I'm slowing increasing the weight as I go. The last few reps are supposed to be hard to do. And they ARE!
I haven't lost any pounds yet. I'm maintaining. But I'm seeing a difference in my body. It's a small difference. And one I'm sure I'm the only one who can see. But it's there. And it's a start.
I took measurements the first week of March. So it's time to do it again. I'll try to remember to post them all, or at least any changes. Nag me if I don't put it up here. I think it's important, and a part of a SMART goal!!
Keep it up! See less of me soon!!
