Seeing results

We are seeing some results, not so much with the weight loss, but in our clothes, and in the inches. It feels good to have other people notice the difference. I am so glad to be able to do all these work out, esp. the ones with Riley. He keeps me going, and I feel alot better. Just 2 months ago, I was not even doing exercise! This is really one of the best things that could have happened to and for us.

Wonderful Husband!

I am so excited, Eric just ordered me a new treadmill! We had an old one and it quit working. He knows how much I enjoy the treadmill, and the use it will get so I have one on the way for home. Thanks honey you are great, and I am also very proud of all your hard work!! It was fun today at the gym I was back in sync, and was going to town. It is always good to talk with everyone, and to know that we are all having the same challenges. I have to remember to take my Aleve tomorrow as it is a Rilely day. Everyone have a good week.

Aleve, my best friend

Hello to everyone. Yes, Aleve is my new best friend. Sore muscles sure like it also. What is that famous saying "no pain no gain". I had a rough day today with the exercises, I normally can go, go,go, but today I was off. Riley says not too worry that we all have these days once in awhile. But, yes I will be back tomorrow!

Music

Have you noticed how music helps you keep going? I can pump it up with the music I listen to. I had my daughter put fast paced music on my mp3 and I love it. Eric listens to Jimmy Buffett (although I like him, that would not pump me up) ha ha ha., I like Black Eyed Peas and Lady GAGA. Yes, even at my age that's what I like. So my advise to everyone, pump it up with MUSIC.

Back on track

We had a wonderful week end in St George, food and all. Ha ha ha. So now today back on track with the healthy eating. Actually felt pretty good to get on the treadmill today. Also, saw lots of friends at the gym today, everyone doing so well with the exercise, keep it up. So here goes another week and were on track!!!

Happy St Patty's Day to all

I hope you all wore your green today! I have been walking without holding on for the past couple of days and this is quite an accomplishment for me, and wow do you get a much better work out. Thanks to Riley for "spotting" me when I lose my balance! Eric had a little "spell" yesterday while working out, so our session was cut short, but he was back to normal today. Once again am I so thankfull for this program to improve our health, and his heart. Keep up the good work to everyone.

P.S.

Thanks to everyone for your kind statements on my grandchildren. My grandson had his tooth pulled today, and actually feels better. Still on his ABX for another week. My grandaughter (from a different family) will see the orthopedic MD tomorrow am to see what the treatment will be, I think she will only need a cast on for about 2 months. She is a trooper, just upset because she "can't even wash her hair". She is 6 years old and has hair down to her bumm. Ha ha Thanks again to everyone!!

Encouragement

Ihave so many friends and family who are encouraging me along. It makes it so much better to have a support system. Also, seeing everyone at the gym and your smiles andthe " good going's" help as well. Thank you much. We are doing better with the WW diet and have seen better results, so we are glad that we decided to follow that program. I am already worried about this coming week end because we are going out of town to visit friends, and I am hoping we don't blow it too much. :(

Hectic weekend

Our granddaughter fell off her bunk bed and broke her arm on Sat. They set the arm and she has to go see an Orthopedic MD in 5 days after the swelling goes down. We did manager to exercise Sat pm at about 530 pm after visiting her at home. She is actually doing very well. Then, to top things off my grandson ended up with a tooth abcess and is now on Antibiotics, all most had to admit him to hosp. for IV antibiotics. He will need to go get a tooth pulled tomorrow. So now that is my week end, watching grandkids, or visiting them with treats and presents. H ah haha. Well, hope your week end was better than mine.

Plugging along

Hi, haven't blogged in a couple days. All going well. What a work out tonight. Riley says we are getting stronger, still trying to come up with a team name. Any suggestions? Running into alot of you at the gym, keep up the good work. I won't be at the nutrition class in the am, have to be at work, but Eric will get all the info for me. We are doing the Weight Watcher diet and are having more success with that. Well that's all for now, talk with you later.

Another week

Starting another week! Wow, how time flies by. It was good to see so many people at the gym today. We are all working very hard arent we? I am so proud of my husband, he has been doing wonderful and inspires me to do as well. This is so good for his heart and I never forget how lucky we are to have been chosen. We are excited to get in shape and participate in the run at the end of our program. Can you believe that we will actually be doing a 5 K run at the end? Never in my life did I think we would be doing this.

ALOT OF FUN

We had so much fun at the class yesterday. It gave us such a good work out and lots of laughs. Thanks for setting this up for all of us. I had such a good time yesterday, that I decided to buy an aerobic dvd to work out with at home. Boy is my body sore, 2 days in a row. Wishing everyone a good week ahead.

Energy levels

Has anyone else noticed how our energy levels are up? I have had more energy and have been sleeping much better with the exercise. My husband also feels much better since we started this program. The class was very informative this am, and I actually learned alot. Thanks to everyone for your advice. We are going to the movie and dinner tomorrow night, and I so hope we have the will power to be good. Just learning about the popcorn this am has already made me decide not to have any. Ha ha.

Thank you all for help with diet and meal ideas

I am so impressed on how helpful people have been to me in the meal concerns that I have!!!! You are all so great, and it is nice to make new friendships in this event. Thanks, again. Today, even in the snow storm we made it to the gym, and what a work out. Just when you think it is getting eaiser, Riley ups the work out. Ha ha ha. Can't wait to see all of you tomorrow for our class, take care and see you there.

Too soon for results?

Is it too soon for results? I find that my clothes are fitting a little looser. OR could it be my imagination? Either way, I am feeling good and just glad to have this opportunity. I am looking forward to the 80's dance class on Sat. it should be a blast. I am still trying to figure out the diet plan. Hope Friday we will get more information that will click the light on for me.

Love Riley our trainer

Another great work out with Riley. He is really great to work with. Pushes us to do better and is so nice about it that you find you are doing more and more without really being aware. I am finding that I have a hard time with the carb diet thing because I don't really get it. I need some ideas, suggestions and maybe some meal plans. I hope this Friday some of this will be given to us. It is always fun to see all of you at the gym, I think we are all working very hard. Keep up the great work, and we will see you at the local hang out, the gym.
