The trainer that was supposed to show me how to do the 30 minute express (curves) was just full of himself. I had to listen to how wonderful he was for an hour and then he showed me how to do cardio on the recumbant bike. I did find that useful but not his bloviating.
The next time he got down to business but I was really hurting after he showed me some more machines.

I am done with him. I am just going to use what he did teach me and carry on like I was. I don't need personal training even if it is free.

I cut the back of my heel up on the edge of a cement brick we were using for temporary stairs at the cottage. Hubby tore up the old porch that needed replacing. Pretty soon we will be building a new porch.

So I signed up for some free training at the gym. My trainer has shown me how to use other machines that will not put pressure on my heel. I am learning new things.

It could have been an excuse to stop exercising completely but I was not going to let that happen. I have come too far.

I got a postcard today in the mail from my leader. It was a congrats for getting thru vacation and the wedding and so on and still losing. That brought a smile to my face.

It was nice to go home to wi this week. I will go to the meeting in Plymouth but it is not the one I prefer. It is just where I will get weighed and be held accountable.

I got bogged down with a lot of stuff that had to be done on the computer while I was home. I have a new camera with new accessories so it was a learning process when I really didn't want one but I survived. Hubby even...

I got weighed in at my home meeting today. I lost 2.2 !!! I am so pleased with that. I know the exercise has really been the catalyst for my losses. I seem to workout harder at the gym. Maybe it is the other people also working out hard or maybe it is the machines are better than mine at home but I am walking longer and faster on their machines. I will get to see how mine is in comparison today.

The gym I go to has people of all ages and stages. I like that. I can see many people my age there. It is a comfortable place. A lot of machines of all kinds. So far I have only...

I am continuing to lose weight and I feel I have made the transition to the cottage without a hitch. I survived our one week vacation and a fancy wedding and a wedding brunch and still lost weight.

I am feeling really happy about the successful transition. I got to the gym about 5-6 days a week. I feel the work I am doing there has really made the difference at the cottage. I am not good about walking during the heat. So the gym was the right idea.
