I went to the gym all by myself! I went once last week with my dd and went Saturday and Sunday with dh. Sunday there was NOBODY there - so I tried out all of the machines - the elliptical, arc trainer, treadmill, and recumbent bike. I just did each for a little bit to see what I like. I still don't really know - but I do know I love the recumbent bike. I don't know how good of a workout I actually get on it, but whatever - it's better than nothing. Today I got on the elliptical - I will say, the really good thing about the gym is that you aren't going to get off the machine after two minutes because you are dying like you would if you were at home. The gym was staffed today and the machines are right by the desk - so it kept me going. I did 20 minutes on the elliptical -- for ME that is HUGE and then 30 minutes on the bike. I'm beyond proud of myself for just going! Now that that first time is out of the way it should only be easier from here.
