A New Me

I just realized today that I have been working out at Shapes for almost a year. I can't believe that it has been that long. Whenever I tried to workout in past years, I would always quit after a few weeks. I have been consistently going at least 3 days a week since January 14, 2008. It is funny, when I miss more than one day, I feel like I am dragging.

I have lost over 100 pounds in the last year and have dropped 7 or 8 sizes in clothing. I am so proud of myself for sticking to it even when I felt like I wanted to die! Sometimes it is so hard to get up and go to the gym. I have to talk myself into.

I remember when I first started going to Shapes. I did a few water classes and tried to do the machines. After about a week, I was only doing water classes. The machines intimidated me too much. For a while, I did more than one water aerobics class a day. Friends convinced me to try the machines again. So now I try to get in the water on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays and the machines on Wednesdays. I alternate Thursdays.

Well the alarm has just gone off. I would really like to turn over and go back to sleep. But I guess I better get up and let them kick my butt again! Do you feel sorry for me?
