I AM Addicted - ThinnerTimes

I know I have been missing in action for a little while. Well your girl has been at the gym working it out. I mean I just started a week ago but man it has made such a difference in the way I feel. I mean I can't sleep sometimes because I am ready to get up and go to the gym. I told my fiance I wanted to hit the gym 2 times a day. I don't think he is ready for all of that. All I need is an Ipod so I can have my music. I think it will really be over once I have motivation music to push me on to work-out longer. Ladies yall be looking out for me because I am going to be to cute. I bought a size 26 jeans and that is my goal to get into. I use to be 32/30. I can get the 26 up now but still can't button them. I think it is my butt

, its blocking me from zipping up all the way...lol Guess maybe I should be doing more then Cardio.

I think the best part of it all I kind of get my encouragment from the others in the gym. I see a lot of fit people in there and I wonder have these people walked the road I am walking now. I have only been there a week but I have seen only a few people who would be considered as MO. I am rotting for them wishing them a good work-out while I am sweating away. I am honestly hoping I script this part of my routine in my life for a long time to come. I know there are some people who are excited when they first start but then get side tracked somewhere along the line. I am hoping that doesn't happen. I love this side of the fence and I don't what to go back to the other side. I just thank God for this "tool".

Denise - that is GREAT! I love your attitude. When I go to the gym and see other women who look in shape it NEVER has occured to me that they maybe had been overweight at one time. I am gonna remember that next time I go.

You go girl.You will get into those 26 in NO time.Your going to amaze yourself,for real! Those 26's will be long gone and your going to do the happy dance

Good job on going to the gym so soon.I didnt start working out until recently,I wish I would have started sooner.

Hurray Denise!!! You keep up the good fight and keep up encouraging others!

There are worse things to be addicted to than the GYM! Keep up the good work just don't burn out early on. Try to keep it in moderation and then you won't hate it later on. Just my two cents as I have gone there with exercise and then I couldn't stand it later on. Suzy

Denise, I am so happy for you. You go Girl!! I can't wait to start going to the gym, walking at the school. I am feeling better everyday but wow it's been a long seven weeks. I tried to drive yesterday for the first time since surgery and it was painful.
My doctor said it would take up to three months for this nerve to heal so I am praying everyday for my body to get back to normal. I am proud of you.

Denise, you sound soooo excited. I hope I will feel like that. I used to love to work out so Im hoping after surgery I will again.

That's so great Denise! I'm hoping that I'll get really motivated, too.

I'm hoping that when I have the time off and I'm not too exhausted from recovery, I'll be able to go to the gym and/or workout every day while I'm off.

Thanks you guys. I appreciate your support so much. I feel great. I am a little sore but I feel great. I just feel like once I get home I should be back out there working out again. I feel like I didn't sweat enough or maybe I should have worked out and extra 20 minutes. Like Suzy said I don't want to burn myself out but I also don't want to become one of thoes people who work out at the gym 3-4 hours a day everyday. I guess I am just so addicted because now I don't have food and this is my outlet. Hmmm go figure.

Good work. Everyone could take some motivation from you!!! I see you are from the Southbay area... where do you live, and which support group do you go to? Just curious, I'm trying ti get pluged in. I found a group down here but they meet on a thursday at like 1:00 in the afternoon. I guess those people don't have to work, but I don't have that option. Talk to you later. Katie
