Well ladies...here we go....temporary goodbye

After months and month of procrastinating, I am finally going to the gym. The fact that my dress will be in right before Thanksgiving, and that I seem to have dropped 5 lbs without trying, is enough to get me going again.

I've been putting it off because of an arthritic knee that has been killing me to the point of having to limp about 4 days a week on average. But I am tired of giving in and making excuses. I am hitting the gym and no one is stopping me, damn it!!! Besides, why should I keep donating $70 a month to NYSC??

Anyhow, for the next month or so I will be very busy. A lot of things I've been putting off I am now going to get done. And FH and I have a lot of running around to do with the family, including seeing my new neice who was born on Sunday!!!

Keep up the spirit, I'll be on sporadically, but much love to you all!!!!!

We'll miss you! But have fun getting things done, and once you start the gym again you'll feel great. I don't know if your gym offers this, but you could try aqua aerobics so that your knees are cushioned. It is supposed to be a great workout.

They actually do offer such a class, but get this....it's at 9am DURING THE WEEK!!! What the hell good does that do me when I have to be at work at 8:30??!!

The other option is going in the pool on my own and just do some exercises. I tried swimming laps a few months ago...I was dead for a couple of days!!

Re: Well ladies...here we go....temporary goodbye

Good luck Janna!! I too was procrastinating for some time. Started almost two weeks ago and i have already dropped three pounds! I really modified my all junk food diet to include fruits and veggies. the cravings for Godiva almost made me go postal for the first week, but it gets easier...as long as nobody tempts me with a chocolate covered strawberry from Godiva, you all should be safe! Good luck and you go girl!
