Ok ready??? Drum roll please!!! LOL!!
Guess what we
did? Finally my husband and I joined the YMCA on Sunday!!! They had sent
an offer that we couldn’t refuse. You could save $100.00 if you joined by January 31. This is our year…the year to become healthy and finally be rid of all this horrible weight. I am bigger then I’ve
ever been and theres just no excuse for it. We worked out only about 30 minutes yesterday because it was packed. We could only grab two bikes side by side and didn’t want to be at opposite ends of the gym.
This morning I was up at 4:00 a.m. in the shower getting ready to go back this morning!!! On the road at 5:00 a.m. we got there at 5:30, walked the treadmill for 30 minutes (side by side) and rode the bike for 15 minutes. My rear end was hurting!!!! LOL!! Those bike seats are not made for comfort!! So we are off to a great start (just like most people in January) and I just hope we can keep at it. My husband has to be at work by 8:00 a.m., so it will work out fine. An hour to work out, 30 min drive home..quick shower and off to work!! I may have heart disease and I’m not able to work out like most, but darnit I’m going to give it my all. I want my before/after picture to look like some of my heros here. I want SKINNY!!! or at least HEALTHY!!!
My husbands so funny, he had to get new gym clothes yesterday…he had to pick out special headphones for me to use…LOL!!! Quite an expensive weekend I should say, but should be worth it if we can get healthy and live longer. I need to be around to see my adorable grandson grow up. I need him and I know he needs his Gramma!!!
Ok…hope everyone had a fun filled weekend!!!
Alphabet Soup for the Soul
Letter T Tears: Let your tears flow for those who hurt. Weeping is a physical expression of your compassion. Scripture tells us that Jesus wept then he learned his friend Lazarus died (John 11:35). St. Paul reminds us to “weep with those who weep” (Romans 12:15).
Great job. You have to start somewhere. Since you have put in so much money it might be easier to keep up with it. That way you feel like you have to get your moneys worth ya know. Keep up the hard work!!!

AWESOME! I’m a YMCA member too and I love it! If you get bored with just the treadmill or anything try out one of their classes. I’m a big fan of water aerobics and Turbo Kick. Keep it up girl and you will be both skinny and healthy!!!
YEAH!! I laughed at your “side by side” desire with the bikes - but you know sometimes it’s fun to have your workout partner on the opposite side of the gym, cuz you can look over and do funny faces across the crowded gym.
I’m proud of you!
Way to go Jane! I am glad you are doing it togeher! Keep at it Jane!!!
Woo Hoo!! Happy dance for you both!!
Wow Jane, your excitement about the gym is contagious! I am so proud of you! You will do wonderful!! And I agree with DH, I always find that I’m more eager to go to the gym when I have new “toys” like new gym clothes, headphones, etc. Keep up the amazing job!
I love your blogs–they always leave me smiling! Congrats on your new addition to the family (the Y membership!) You should definitely check out their water aerobics classes–I use to take classes when I lived in Houston–it was great!!!! It’s a shame we don’t live closer–we could start a synchronized swimming team!!!
I’d have to wear floaties though b/c I really not a very good swimmer! I am excited for you, Jane!!!!!!!!
Congrats on the gym memberships!! You are off to a wonderful start!! It’s great that your hubby is going with you - it will help to keep you motivated!
