Gym Day

I am going to join a gym.  I have started my free week at the Meyer Center.  The lady who signed me up remembered me from last time I tried to get in shape.  She wrote a story about me because I lost so much weight, but not long after I got sick and gave up.  Sooo I am not sure if I should be flattered or embarrassed because she remembered me.

Got my full run in this morning.  Not sure how far I went because I couldn't find a lap to mile ratio but I will look on Friday.  I did get my full set in for my couch to 5k program.  I was really happy about that. I think I am going to really enjoy the gym.  I see all these people who are in great/good shape lapping me over and over again and instead of being discourage, I told myself that would be me soon. Oh and they have a hot tub and a sauna...  woot!

I am also going to sign up for some of their classes.  I think I need that to help me take the weight off.  I am excited about all of this and I want to say thank you to all of you for helping me stay focused and get through the hard days like yesterday!  March 5th here I come!  I am going to rock that 5k!

You're doing great, Chris! It's normal and fine to get discouraged and have days like yesterday, just don't let it stop you from reaching your goal. I really wish I could be there in March to cheer you on. Go get 'em Chris! Kick some tail!

I lost like 25 lbs in a month. I am on track to do more than that this time.
