Another beginning. 2008 went well with me loosing appx. 30lbs, not as much as I hoped for. Well it is now 2009 and every day above ground is an opportunity for change and I plan to take advantage of it. Two weeks ago I made an appointment with an exercise specialist, had my blood pressure and blood sugar checked and was cleared to start exercising at the
gym, so I did. In addition I plan on making an appointment to consult with a dietitian to "get my mind right" haha. I have never joined a
gym so this was a big step for me. I have gone everyday that they were open but being the holidays they have been closed a few days. I have done the
treadmill for 1 hour and every other day(except weekends-closed) and have used the row machine to start toning my upper
body. Eventually, within 3 weeks I will have them train me on some new machines and kick it up a notch. I need to start keeping track and writing down what I eat for every meal and setting up a weekly meal menu. I am excited, thrilled and motivated for the new year and the possibility for change. As of now I am 335 lbs, and my first major
goal is to get into the 200's (it's been a long time). Happy New Year!
