And she's away....
I have finally gone and done it. I am so proud of myself. Today is the beginning of new things. Watch this space and I will keep you posted. 
Ok, are you watching? Here is your first update.
I joined a gym and had my first workout yesterday. So what is so fantastic about that? you ask. Hello! We are talking about me here. Mother of two teenagers and two babies who works half day as an accountant/consultant and always busy doing something with someone or taking kids somewhere. I couldn't believe my luck when I was given a flyer last week about a gym opening at the shopping centre just down the road. I go to said shopping centre practically every day for little essentials like bread and milk. If you read my previous posts, you would have noticed that I am not a shopaholic like most women.
What was even more astounding was that a workout takes 30 minutes. Truly, right up my alley. I was in and out of there in 40 minutes yesterday. Believe me, I can feel that my muscles had a workout. So let's hope that this works out for me. I will have the dreaded weigh-in again on 28 December and hopefully would have reached the goals we set for this first month.

The great thing about starting at gym after a long break is that sore feeling you have in the first few weeks...you can FEEL how it's working! But, as you get fitter and the soreness disappears, unless you start losing weight rapidly or turn into a toned, mean, athletic machine, the benefits seem less physically noticeable.
Bring back the soreness so that I can feel it is still working! :-)

I know several women who have joined and love it. I wish you the best! As long as you enjoy it, I think that is so very important!

Michelle - that is what I have been telling myself for months and I feel so much better for taking the first step.
Reluctant Nomad - come come now!! Don't mess with my imagination.
