Almost forgot the bad news of the day...

I was so excited about my walk this morning that I forgot to mention that I went to Gold's Gym. Boy, did they give me the cold shoulder. As soon as I walked in the looked at me like I had 3 heads. I guess not too many fat  people walk in there. They wouldn't take my 7 day pass and didn't seem to want to talk to me at all. The manager finally did give me a tour. Just lots of equipment. Nothing special. Even if it had been special I wouldn't have like it because of the way they treated me. I felt really bad after that so I decided to go to a WW meeting because I knew I'd feel good being there. And I did. It was the same WW leader as last Monday so it was good to see a familiar face. I sat in the back and people talked to me but I didn't feel as creeped out this time. It was just nice to be in a positive environment where I felt welcomed. After that I decided to go over to 24 hour fitness. I stood inside at the desk for about 5 minutes and when no one greeted me or said anything to me I just turned around and left. That made me feel bad too but I didn't let it get me down. I've had too many positive, uplifting experiences with WW meetings over the last week and a half to let something like that get to me. I still may check out the Briargate Gold's Gym but will call and make an appointment first. They have a pool there and classes. It would be $20/month but worth it to use the pool and attend some classes. I may just wait until Spring to join a club but I don't know. I'll have to see how I'm treated at the Briargate club. I need to remember that we have an exercise room here too at the clubhouse that I can use.

I'm bound and determined not to let these club incidents get tome though. It's not going to stop me from getting out there and walking on Wednesday. I'm really looking forward to that. Even the ride over to the daycare to drop off Bayou was so beautiful. I knew that being up on the Mesa would be gorgeous.


The snow on Pikes Peak and it's purple mountains majesty was just incredible this morning. I love living in Colorado!

My stomach is still queasy. Not sure why. Lunch didn't make it any worse but it's till feeling yucky. I'm going to take it easy for the rest of the day. Maybe some Tums will help. I'll try that.

I'm looking forward to celebrating my weight loss victory at the WW meeting on Wednesday. When I weighed myself here yesterday morning my weight was 289!! Going down into the 280's is nice. I look forward to more weight loss this week. I'm so glad I looked at the WW program again. I'm not sure why it never clicked before but it sure does now. It seems so easy and natural for me. It's not a struggle at all to do the program. I'm not saying that I don't struggle with hunger and wanting to eat when bored. I obviously have that going on but the plan itself is easy to understand and do. Dealing with my emotions isn't easy but I know that will get better too. It's just weird how something can click like this did. Unlike the gyms this morning that did not click at all. I don't have any plans tomorrow so I may try to go to the Gold's Gym. I don't think I'll make an appointment after all because I don't want to be tied to a schedule tomorrow. It'll either work or it won't. No biggie if it doesn't.
