I took that first step today and made it to the gym (and noticed my last visit there was Sept 2009 – ugh!). And you know what? I feel great!
I was surprised the place wasn’t busy. I mean, I only had to wait for one machine – a miracle! I walked for 20 minutes (over 1 mile), then I used the leg machines (some of the weights were probably too light, so I’ll have to adjust for next time), then I used the dumbbells, making sure I used light weights. We’ll see how I feel tomorrow. I hope I didn’t overdo it! It’s hard to tell on the first day.
I forgot how great I felt after going, though. So, I’ll probably not have any problems going on Thursday.
I’m on the road to building muscle and I’m happy!!!

Go you. I know I said I would start walking but...I know I know any excuse. (Actually, I do have a good one, arthritis in my back and if I'm outside in the cold for too long I can't move for days after.)
But I promise, once the weather turns, I'm with you. Hey, does walking up and down the stairs all day doing housework count as aerobics?
Good for you!
Good for you! I always feel better when I exercise reguarly, too. It's amazing what a difference it makes.
Anne - using the stairs often certainly can't hurt. And I've heard housework also burns lots of calories!
Thanks for the cheers, ladies. I really appreciate it!
