Let's Try This Again!!

So ..  Dennis has been :::cough::::gaining-weight:::cough,cough,hack:::: (due to meds, really)  ... so we decided last month to join the YMCA.  We're excited to work out together. 

Dennis went in to get his plan in action 3 weeks ago, I was told I had to get a doctors release saying I could work out ..... it was heartbreaking because I wanted to get to it.  However, I've been suffering a huge flare up of my CFS and had to go in for a medicine change.  I missed a dose last night of my meds, I fell asleep ... and I can definitely say I can feel the difference ...  but we must go on!  I had the DR. sign away my life so that I can start to get on the road to the new me!  I had my appointment tonight with my health and fitness specialist - I have my plan in place.  The only instructions my DR gave me was to start out very light and slow, and to work my way up .... so I have walking, stairs or bike, and then some stuff in the weight room...   I saw a Zumba class today and I think that I'll try that sometime after I get my cardio tolerance built up... 

Right now we're doing swim class with with the babies, Noah's in swim class and so is Cal.  They are really starting to enjoy swimming but Nathan gets super cold because he has no fat on him.  However, I think I might go in and swim laps sometimes too....  We'll see :)  Been a loooooooooooong time since I've swam laps.

However, my last weigh in with the DR.... I was down another ten pounds and I'm soooooooooooooo freaking excited about that!!!
