Get Moving

You know that crazy lady crying at the gym?  Yeah, that was me today.

Hubs' company just moved and their new office is two doors down from a gym.  His boss offered to pay for gym memberships for the employees and spouses.  The gym is starting a Biggest Loser contest and they're all going to be working on it as a team.  Sounds great -- they'll have personal trainers and dietitians.

Hubs and I started walking by ourselves through to look at the equipment at the gym.  We went into the cardio-theater (dark room with huge projection screen and a ton of bikes / ellipticals / treadmills, etc.) and I just started crying.  In the end hubs let me slip out and go wait in the cafe next door and pull myself back together while he let them know that we are going to wait on having me join.  Every time I have tried to start an exercise program I have become severely ill, which I now know is fibro related.  Just looking at those and knowing what it could do to me made me a mess.

Next week I am going to try out water aerobics.  The water sounds so soothing on my poor body.  And to top it off -- I'm joining a class specifically for senior citizens :)  So it should be low key, low impact, low stress.  I'll also be taking my mom along, so that will help me get all the way there and not putting it off so it never gets done.

My current goals:
     Sleep at least 8-9 hours per night
     Stretch every morning and evening
     Exercise one time each week (currently water aerobics)
     Eat eggs every morning.  (I gotta start somewhere on the nutrition thing!  and I'm terrible at eating breakfast.)
