catfish87 3,471 Posted October 16, 2013 Got a gym membership yesterday and walked a mile on the treadmill (not that much compared to everyone else), but it was an accomplishment just to get into the gym, sign up, and go back then do a mile on the treadmill. You went and did it. That is the accomplishment! Don't compare yourself to someone else...you went! You did your best...you made the most important step....THE FIRST ONE!

Bandista 7,466 Posted October 16, 2013 Okay, heading off to the basement for an abbreviated workout. I have 3-4 days of intense working out (for me, anyway) with a cousin -- 20 bike to warmup, 40 treadmill, 20 BowFlex -- but I need to do something on my own on these other days, even if it's just a nod in the right direction. Oh, and doing my husband's PT exercises with weights in bed each morning. After a year of thinking these look like excellent exercises for any one needing core work, I finally got my own little set of hand weights. These exercises are amazing and now he's working harder, too. 4 jamilyne 102668, sunnysidega, catfish87 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jamilyne 102668 1,207 Posted October 16, 2013 Went to the gym Sunday, Monday & Tuesday. Met with the personal trainer yesterday and he have me a workout to follow. Every day this week I've done at least a mile on the treadmill. Not going to go today because I need to spend some time with my kids & need to do a million things when I get home. But I did walk during my break at work. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk 2 Bandista and ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sunnysidega 177 Posted October 16, 2013 Went out of town to Celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary and got word last night my first cousin who is closer than a brother to me passed away during thyroid surgery (4 heart attacks), Needless to say it changed the tone of things and my desire to workout. Gotta get through the next few days and I will. Carry on and say a prayer or hold a good thought for my family. He was one of the good guys and way too young. 2 JOANNE M HOLL and ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
