    Default Went to Anytime Fitness today.....

    So I signed up for a free 7 day pass at Anytime. I told my husband we need to join a gym because its either too hot or raining to walk outside! We went in for our orientation this afternoon and when it was done my husband got on the eliptical and I got on the treadmill. He was on for 15 minutes and said he was done! He wanted to cool down before having to go back to work. LAME!!! My husband works from home, in the air conditioning, at a desk in front of a computer! I walked for 30 minutes and I was keeping an eye on him to see what he was doing, he was walking around and then I saw that he sat down at a table with the manager and was chatting it up. Now if you know my husband he is the chattiest person alive!!! When we got home he said he needs to lose his belly so I told him he should have worked out longer at the gym and that he needs to exercise his jaws less and his legs more. He had told me several times since my surgery two months ago that he wants to walk with me but has not done it yet. He eats like a pig, eats crap, and still weighs himself and can't figure out why the scale hasn't moved.

    He has to find fitness in his own timing. We all know if you aren't ready you aren't going to do well. So you keep going and eating healthy and your success will inspire him!

    Yep, no one could have convinced me prior to surgery that I needed to work out. Of course I knew it but it had to happen when I was ready. Your husband will get there, if not, just keep doing what you are doing.

    exercise is one of those things you have to bring YOURSELF to. no amount of people telling you to workout will help. I spent a lifetime avoiding exercise...but now, after two months of going continuously... I miss it if i don't go daily.


    Pounds LOST since surgery 111
    Finally reached Onderland 3/1/2013
    Height 5'3" Small frame
    Starting BMI day of surgery : 45.7 MORBIDLY OBESE CLASS 3
    BMI current 26.0 OVERWEIGHT

    my first goal is to get to 141pounds, that will put me in the NORMAL range bmi. My second goal is 120, which is thin and healthy.
