Got it, trying to figure out to use it.

We got our meal plans Friday. I sooo confused, 45 carbs, 3 servings, no, wait, 3 carbs, 45 servings, protein (beans for breakfast???); We'll figure this out, Mindi has been great, really helpful! All thjis for a little calorie.....well, got to go burn some calories, got a match! See you later!

Workin' at it!

Worked out really hard today, trying to decide if Riley is tryin' to kill me or not! Just kidding, he's great! Wait it's the eliptical that tryin'! I see a few of the folks that are in the heart challenge in the wellness center, working hard, making a difference! Outstanding!

Traci-congratulations on your award! Way to go!

See you tommorrow - Take care and many thanks, Eric

Feelin' better every day!

I haven't felt this good in a while! Had I known this exercise thing would make me feel this good, and have more energy I'd have started eons ago, then maybe I wouldn't be so short for my weight. I thank all for chosing Kathy to participate, I thank Kathy for wanting me to partcipate with her. Had it not been for the 100 day heart challenge, I would not have started to work this hard to improve myself and feel like I do. I lost two pounds (though I feel like I should have lost 20), I'm passing up cookies (even the broken ones), choosing salad over burgers, and am looking forward to these workouts because I have joined the club on how it makes me feel. Good luck all...Eric

I'm learning

Had our second workout with our personal trainer Riley; He worked us pretty hard, but it will pay off! I'm learning that I should have been doing this long ago, I'm learning how to use the equipment, and I'm learning that I can do this.

Results? What results?

Well we met with our assigned personal trainer Riley. He showed us what we needed to do, how to use the equipment and started workouts. We went the next day and the next day, I haven't lost a pound, (maybe I shouldn't have had that bag of chips at lunch), Kathy says it's too soon, I should believe her! but as hard as I think I'm working out.... Wait, I'm noticing more energy, 20 minutes on a treadmill isn't kicking my butt like it did a few months ago, I have an endorphine; holy smoke a roly, now there's a result! I'll keep at this, maybe I'll reach a point where the switch gets turned on and the weight will start to shed.

I used to cringe just driving by a Gym, I refered to exercise as "the E" word, now just after 3 days, I look forward to these workouts. I'm feeling really good. Thanks Traci & Riley! See you tomorrow! Eric
