This weight loss/getting fit gig is rocking!

Today has been a pretty nice one, so far. I've spent an awesome couple of hours at the gym and am feeling great. I even made it down White Horse Road, this morning, without my blood pressure going up.

I love my peeps at Planet Fitness, they are simply the best!

I'm liking the new definition I'm seeing in my legs and butt, for starters. My mate Kwacha says my butt doesn't droop any more (woohoo!) and my granddaughter commented on how my legs and thighs are looking great. I notice the changes, I just wasn't sure if others did.

It would seem that my thigh and butt exercises, whilst driving around, are paying off. Despite everyone originally laughing at me doing them (and a couple of truck drivers - looking down at me at stop lights - wondering what exactly my squirming was all about). 

I do love going to the gym and spending time there. Their seated stepper, the Intellistrider, is great for folks like me, who cannot stand and work out. I sit and yet still get a good workout. Today I did 3 sessions, 2 x 15 minutes sessions each with a 5 minute cool-down, and a 20 minute, with 5 minute cool-down. Then I did the back extensions and triceps press.

I've also found a use for the upright stability bar in the disabled rest room. I hold on it and try to stand straight as I can for a few moments, stretching my back. As I have found out on this journey, every little helps. Day by day, I see and feel noticeable (to me) differences, and now others are beginning to see them too.
