Wait for the weight loss: The Gym

Hi bloggers

Today has been a good day for me :)

Today for the first time in over a year........... I went back to the gym..

I loved every minute of it :) I never realised how much I missed the atmosphere. There was something different this time though. In the form of a gym buddy.

Yea that's right. I managed to get my other half Mark to join me :)

He has recently decided that he needs to join me on my weight loss quest and to shape up for himself. So we both joined the gym together ;)

I want to thank MFP's as they have really helped me realise how much of a special thing it is to do this together :)

I am sure I am going to love going to the gym with him :) and on my own for that matter.

The gym I joined is one where I have been a member before; but they treated me as if I was brand new and got me all excited once more :)

I am going back on Wednesday to have my very own program assembled to challenge me and focus on my problem areas that I want to combat :) I'm reallllly looking forward to it.

I am proud of Mark for wanting to join me and I am going to help him too as much as he is helping me ;)

We walked to the gym and back and did an hour there. I really felt totally refreshed and relaxed once I'd got home and showered.

For dinner tonight Mark has started off well :) by making me a gorgeous risotto with chorizo and mixed Mexican beans in. I have to say chorizo has to be one of my favourite ingredients to use in cooking so love him for that :)

Another thing that's gone well today??? Well I have rekindled my spirit and made dinner ready for my long shifts and evening shifts. ... instead of just taking soup because its easy.... I have pre made something to take tomorrow and the next day and even pre logged it on MFP. If I can keep this up I know I will be a lot more focussed and see a lot more results.

I'm working another 16 hour day tomorrow so those meals will come on handy ;) so its off to bed early for me. But before I go :) I want to say how well all of my pals on MFP are doing. They keep me going and I love logging in everyday in the hope of keeping them on track with encouragement too :)
