How I did it
How to go to the gym
It took me
60 days
It made me
feel good

How I did it: I have been going regularly now with my friend for a couple months, its great we call ourselves regulars and are having fun together learning how to use the different machines and postitions for the ball, its fun. Going with someone every week makes it easier to keep up the motivation! Read how I did it…

I was grateful today: 4 days ago

1. for getting in a Zumba workout plus some running on the treadmill, starting to find a meditative quality about running on the treadmill.
2. for another call for another interview, keep options open
3. for the Biggest Loser, gives me motivation during the week to resist temptation and lose the weight
4. for feeling so good lately about my body and the changes that exercise and eating better is doing.
5. for hope.
