I just got back from a long workout at the gym.  I was there for 2 hours...Hicham can't complain now...lol.  I walked around the gym (on a kinda "road" set up for people to walk on) for about 5 or 6 mins.  I did some strength training.  I used the stationary bike for 40 mins..give or take because I had to stop several times to switch bikes because the tv on one was broken...or the foot strap on the petal was too tight.  I used the eleptical for 30 mins...I'm very proud of that.  It's getting easier to use that machine.  I raised the slope on in and I raised the resistance a few points.

Hicham says that for a workout to do any good you have to sweat...but I haven't really sweated since I started going to the gym.  I mean my chest sweats under my bra...sorry if TMI...but that is the only place I seem to sweat.  I don't know if you have to sweat to it to do any good.  I know that I'm doing something right or I wouldn't be sore.  I'm not so sore right now but I know that my muscles will relax...or what ever they do...and I'll be sore.

I'm really proud of myself for doing this...going to the gym...I let myself go.  I've tried to get some kinda exersis routin going before but I lost my motivation after about the 3 or 4th day and quit.  So I'm glad that I joined gensis...and that I have DS and all you awesome people.  I feel like I've got a reason to do this so I will keep with it.  I mean this is the longest I've stuck with any kinda exsersis. 

And it's nice to see results.  I haven't lost any weight yet but I'm not gaining either.  I'm stuck at 255lbs.  But I feel my legs getting stronger.  Before I started working out it was a chore just to climb the stairs to our apartment.  Now it's a little easier.
