Tried to work out but was cramping so badly I decided to spend an hour in the steam room.  Man, I feel great!  Darn near fell asleep in there, it felt so wonderful and relaxing.

 

I do love that place.  I always feel so invigorated when I leave.  :)

 

I might go back tomorrow and work out since I really didn't get my cardio done today.  It's really fun.  :)

 

since I'm on my period and cramping like I've been kicked by a mule.  *sigh*  My luck...and what happened to this menopause I'm supposed to be going through??!!! 

 

What a bloody mess...no pun intended.

 

All I want to do is curl up with a heating pad on my abdoman and do nothing.  But, I know I can't, because once I start making excuses not to work out, I won't accomplish anything.

 

I think I'll spend extra time in the steam room..the heat will feel wonderful.  ( I hope! )

 

Ok, so I'm starting a new week of working out, and man, did it start off great!

 

Stepped on the scales, and I LOST 5 POUNDS!!! 

 

Everyone in the place knew it too.  I was bouncing all over.  Told my trainer, and my buddy who signed us up.  Both were happy for me.  And just about squished the poor hubby.  LOL

 

I'm worn out though, may have overdone it in my joy.  Will see what happens on Wednesday.

 

But wow...just to have lost weight!!  YAHOO!!!  Let's celebrate a bit, shall we?

 

Workout was great, I feel as if I accomplished something.  The time really flew, and I enjoyed it.

 

Until time for my first trip inside a sauna.  OMG!  I thought I was going to have a flat out panic attack!  I stepped inside, and immediately was unable to breathe.  The hubby had to help me outside and into a chair by the pool.  Never going to try that again, let me tell you. 

 

I find it amazing that people who use different sections of the gym or different pieces of equipment that they've never used before aren't given some sort of intro to the things before using them.  And the young gentleman I asked about it when I was leaving actually *laughed at me*!  Not exactly the reaction I would have expected on asking an honest question about something I'd never done before.  At least he gave me an idea of what to do if I ever decide to try it again.  That's something, I guess.

 

I'm starting to have second thoughts about Bally's.  I would have expected a lot more caring from the people there.  As well as a bit more variety to my workout.  I'm becoming bored with the same old thing every time I go.

 

Oh well....at least the hubby is seeing results.  He's losing weight.  Only thing I'm seeing is that my legs are firming up and getting thinner.  Oh wow...spaghetti legs holding up an elephant's body.  How impressive!!! 

 

I need a workout that targets ALL of my body, not just my damn legs.

 

*sigh*

 

There's always Friday, I suppose.

Well, tonight is another workout.  At least I found a tank top and some shorts, so I can hit the sauna room after I'm done.

 

I'll be honest, I'm sort of not looking forward to it.  Mainly due to the fact that I'm scared of seeing another gain at the scales.  How can I possibly be gaining if I'm working out and eating differently???

 

*sigh*

 

Maybe this whole 'change my life' idea was a joke...on me.

 

We shall see, after the workout.
