The new gym I joined earlier this summer is under construction still but scheduled to open Jan 1. The one I'm at is fine, but this one I can walk to without planning and it's going to be MAH- velous!!!

Some current pics-

See that "set back" area there? Hello! Outdoor pool!!! On weekends, they will bring out the tiki huts and its margaritas pool side! This is a lounge pool deck. The lap swim pool and the exercise pool are just to the right and then behind it, so three pools in all.

To heck with the Country Club (which I will pass on my way), this place has everything from typical classes, weights, machines, nail salon, hair salon, estheticians for facials, etc massage therapists.

I SO DESERVE this membership!

And yes!!! Underground parking too!

Looks like it will be a nice facility.

The closest I have to a "good" gym here is a Planet Fitness, that is less than half the size of others in the country, and with 3000+ members, you can never get to use aerobic machines or the weight area unless you go and wait for hours in line.

So I use the really small workout room at the local hospital that is close to work. But it gets the job done, just limited and boring in the winters.

Tell the owners of your new gym that there is a market in Jackson Meeeeechigan they need build here too.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
