Day 106 - Finally a Gym Membership!

Tuesday, I finally went and got a gym membership. I have not used it yet, but I plan to tonight. Wednesday we went and got a tour of the gym. Jogging track, pools, basketball courts, raquetball courts, and of course a regular gym with equipment like treadmills, etc. After getting a tour of the gym I do feel better about going there. However, being who I am, I'm still very nervous about doing certain things in the gym. I'm a big girl, and while on one hand I feel awkward in a gym running or doing certain things with my fat flopping around everyone, but on the other hand, I feel no one should have anything to say to me, because whether I'm big or not I AM at the gym TRYING to fix it. I'm just stuck and torn between the two feelings. I want to be able to go in there and use the treadmills and weights and stuff like that. I just need to get used to being there. I think it will be awkward at first, but I'm HOPING that I can get used to being there and it comes more naturally and I won't be the new girl anymore. I want to try and go at off times, and stay out of the way as much as possible. It's just going to take some getting used to, but I don't want to give up.

On the other hand, I won't feel so awkward just using the jogging track or basketball courts or even the raquetball courts. I may have to start out with those things and work my way up. As for today's plan to workout, I'm not sure what we will be doing. I think today I would prefer jogging or maybe basketball. I guess we will see how it all goes!

Can't believe it's taken me 106 days, to finally get a membership to a gym. Oh well, at least it's better late than never! I'm excited to finally use it!

In some other good news, the weight that I had gained back after starting to exercise, I finally dropped again. So now I'm back down to 222.6, which is where I keep hitting the wall. Between 220 and 222ish. Hopefully hitting the gym will help me start dropping more. I don't have much time left in summer to get below 200, which is my goal for now. I need to work hard. It's possible, but very much a stretch.

    You're at the gym, not at Mcdonalds. Everyone is there for the same reason :)

38 Weeks

Image
Here is my picture for the week! (One day late though). 38 Weeks & 1 Day: December 18th Only two more weeks to go!!!! However I am hoping that Mackinley will come today or tomorrow. Otherwise, I would like her to stay in there until at least the day after Christmas! I just don't want to have her too close to Christmas. If she's a Christmas baby, then so be it, that's just not what I'm hoping for. This week, the most plans we have is my doctors appointment again this week. The day after Christmas. Otherwise, it's normal housework, and relaxing. As for guesses this week on when Mackinley will be here, my official guess is today and one more person also said today. Then mom is hoping for today, but again her official guess is January 1st. Then we have one person who guessed tomorrow the 18th (and one family member out of state who is hoping for the 18th but unofficially, not in the game), two people who guessed wednesday the 19th, one person who guessed th...

End of a Busy Week!

This has been an extremely busy week. I've had appointments and plans and housework everyday! Today I plan to take it easy for the most part. We don't have any appointments for today, no big plans, nowhere we need to go, so we are going to spend the day relaxing, napping, and of course catching up on a bit of housework. Really have some yardwork that needs done too, but with the heat I'm not sure we will get to it! Yesterday was a big day! First, I got a call, saying I was approved for a medical card! Yay! Now I can finally call and find a doctor and get an appointment scheduled! This is big news! I'm so relieved, and glad to finally get moving and see a doctor! Today James is gonna help me look at our choices and we will decide our top choices and then call and see who is available. And secondly, we had our WIC appointment which went very well for the most part! We first did the paperwork part and found out we were approved. Then my iron was checked which I was told ...

More Baby Movement?

Forgot to add in my last post, that over vacation I think I might have felt the baby again. But it was different this time. In the car on the way to Pennsylvania, we had the music kind of loud in the car for a while. During that time only, I felt some movement in my stomach. It wasn't like pokes, or "flutters" as people say. Although I still can't quite figure out what a "flutter" is supposed to feel like. Anyways, this feeling was like if you drink a ton of water or liquids and wiggle your belly around, and that sloshing feeling like you've had too much liquid in your belly. That's what it felt like for a while. And I had not had that much to drink, so I know it wasn't actually liquid in my stomach, and I wasn't moving around anyways. That's why I THINK maybe it was baby, but I'm not sure. Just had to post about that to see what everyone else's opinions are if they think it may have been baby or just a coincidence of somethin...
