Exercising

I have been exercising and it feels so good. I have to attend an exercise class once a month at the hospital for bariatric patients. The class reminded me how much I love to exercise. I used to be an aerobics intstuctor in my home town. I have always loved aerobics and it has helped me over the years to lose weight. I also taught a volunteer aerobics class for two years at my church. We would meet three days a week. We had so much fun. I was proud of myself that I did it all during my pregnancy with Delana. But I have not been exercising for the past year because of my health problems. I thought I had not missed it until I attended my bariatric exercise class. Now I am exercising four to five days a week. I am attending a new class at my church. Another gal took over the class when I stopped so now I am attending her class three days a week and I am walking Tuesdays and Thursdays and days I can't make it to the church. I am walking with a good friend Deronda on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We walked together yesterday and it was so nice. I loved it. I feel so much better!!!!!! I have not felt this good for a year now.

Doesn't it feel so great to move? :) I always have to kick myself out of the house to exercise (and complain in the process), but I always feel so much better afterwards! And I'm so glad I went!

p.s. I don't know if you've seen "strides" in your exercise progress, but just yesterday while "boot-camping" with my friend, I realized we had jump roped for a whole minute, and I didn't feel exhausted or out of breath at all. It shocked me! And it only took 7 weeks to get to this point. :)

My friends and I do circuit training workouts together, which involve cardio and weight training combined. Maybe its something like aerobics? I never was much for aerobics (I always felt uncoordinated to move that quickly), but I love to run, walk, and lift weights!
