I made the next step in my quest to get fit and stay active!! I JOINED A GYM!! I love it. I now have different options for cardio and weights. When I get tired of the eliptical, I ride a stationary bike. When my knees are killing me, I move from the treadmill to swimming laps. Did I mention that I love it?!?! I really think I can stick with this and continue to lose weight and get fit. I feel better and definitely have more energy. I have said this before, but the more I exercise...the healthier I eat. Feeling the pain of working out gives me the extra will to restrict my fast food urges. I still don't enjoy cardio activities, but the gym makes it tolerable.

I have been measured, so I can't wait to see how many inches I am going to lose over the next couple of months. Seeing my weight drop on the scale has also given me a lot of motivation. I am going to talk to Coach Jenny about incorporating weights into my walking routine. I think this gym thing is going to give me the spark I need to reach my goal by my wedding in July!!! I am definitely excited about the future!!!
