What did I do next?

Well, I did what came naturally. I joined the gym! I was scared to death. I came in thinking I would do a little walking on a treadmill. Boy was I wrong. 

So, my gym is awesome! Wonderful people work there and they are soo encouraging! Allison signed me up. I got the premium package which will allow me to take classes on top of working out in the gym. They have a computer program that gives you workouts, complete with how much weight to use and how many reps to do. Yep, I am lifting weights!!!

Never would I have dreamed of weight lifting! The first week or two was difficult. The machines are numbered and I could never find the right machine. Oh, and there are men everywhere! I don't have a problem with men being everywhere, but it was intimidating! I got used to the equipment and I got used to not caring about ALL the men who looked like they knew what they were doing! Maybe they don't. Who knows?

I am officially a gym rat and I love it! I hate taking rest days! I feel like they hinder my progress, but I know they are necessary! After working out for 10 days straight, I got a stomach bug. Just God's way of saying I needed a break. So I took 2 days off and got right back into the swing of things. I take a rest day every week....usually on Saturday because I like to lounge on my day off. 

I'll talk more about the gym later! 

Keep reading for the first official weigh in!
