Physical Therapy

Tue, 22 Mar 2011 22:37:35 EST

Well tonight I started my physical therapy for my back. I am very optimistic about this, I really think it will help me. After talking to my therapist I really believe that she can help my back and that she will also give me good advice about ways to strengthen my back muscles. I am really looking forward to returning again. This is the first time that I have felt good about physical therapy. I can do this I can get back on my feet and start working out again.

What a year

When I started this challenge this year I never realized how it would be. My doctor has been telling me I really need to lose weight. Now that I have started on this adventure who would have thought that my body would turn against me. LOL At the very beginning I stayed the same for a month. I was okay with this I know it isn't easy to lose weight and some times I won't. So the next two weeks I lost weight I thought go me. Then I got a bad case of bronchitis. Okay that laid me low for two week...

Made it to the gym

Well I made it to the gym and did the floor workout class.
I should say that the name of the class is killer floor work out. The name speaks for itself LOL. I sweat more at this class then I did at zumba. It was an hour long and it kicked my butt. Boy I really need to get in shape. The class is on tuesday and thursdays. I will be going back on thursday if at all possible. 48

Exercise tonight

Well I didn't get any exercise in yesterday because I had an important appointment that my hubby and I had to go to. Now that is over with and I am planning to go to a floor workout class at the gym. I haven't been to this class but I have watched it a few times. It is going to be in place of the Zumba class that I was doing. My doctor told me I had to stop that one due to some health issues I had. As soon as I get his okay I will be back to them.

Needing to get refocused

Sun, 27 Feb 2011 09:24:44 EST

Well I haven't been doing very well. My motivation has been way down. I got side railed when I came down with bronchitis it hung around for a week. Then my work out buddy went on a vacation. I should have worked out with out her but I didn't. It let me wallow in feeling bad and so it seems I have lost my focus. I am getting it back but it is very hard. I did lose 2.5 pounds but I don't know how. I was really afraid I had gained.
