First of May – My New Way

Thank you! Let all of us have a weight losing weekend!
I am joining a gym next week, cannot wait getting new kinds of exercise!
 
So, day ended, or dinner and chores done, all left to do is hanging around the couch area (and a little paperwork when the kids sleep) *stressless*
This afternoon fetching the children pace was so slow and it made me think on my bike is me, ofcourse.., the kids (total of 63 kg) and the biketrailer where they sit (25 kg), actually quite a lot of weight I pull on that bike.

The weather is getting a bit better here and towards the end of the week it looks like summer could finally be arriving. hope it gets better in Denmark as well.
 
It's 15 celsius right now, as long as it is not too rainy it's fine enough. Well who really cares right now I just bought my membership and recieved my access key to the FITNESS CENTER!!!

Edit: posted before being finished writing, apparently...

Plan to do my first visit tomorrow and looking forward to it!! Today is a little shitty (finances and TOM) but I overruled my bank account buying a six month membership and a nice birthday present for the boy, that made me quite happy again :)

Seems like everyone's dealing with some lousy weather! It's been horrible here. We've been very hot and humid with a lot of thunderstorms. I love listening to the thunder, but when it's right over you and it shakes your whole house, that's when I start to worry!

Congrats on your gym membership too. That's a nice little reward for yourself and I'm sure it'll help you get to your goal that much quicker. :)
 
I love thunder and rain, but not when exercising!!
Looking forward to see the gym and try out the machinery, it has been almost 8 years since I was a gym member last.. Swim bath is open again from today, it was closed 7 days for renovation and now it has switched to summer opening hours which fits me perfectly. So many exercise possibilities so little time LOL

Just came home from the gym.
Workout at gym:
10 km bike
20 min crosstrainer medium hard pace
6x10 sit ups
4x8 adductor machine
and drank two litres of water.
The crosstrainer was pretty hard on my right knee and ..calves? Lower leg back side.
Besides from that, visit was a succes.
Will still bike my 10 km for transportation too.
 
You are back to the gym, congrats! And I am sure you will find out what exercise works best for you in no time. I personally could never make friends with the cross trainer ... possibly the most demotivating piece of equipment ever!

I have my sights set on a local swimming pool once winter arrives, but first need to build up that bank account again and pay off the summer holidays that I booked before becoming unemployed ... but a new swimsuit should be in this month's budget and if summer finally does arrive *fingers crossed* then I shall jump into one of the many lakes in Berlin for free :)
 
There are TV screens attached to all the machines, totally overkill if you ask me.

Just checked out your thread, I applaud your efforts. Good job getting back in the gym but ease into it a injury would sideline your plan. I did that once.
 
Hi Brawny!
I will take it slow and sensible, and focus on weight loss and strengthen of my core while listening to my body. A little workout every day is better than to be a gym hero for an hour and not being able to exercise for days.
Just got out of the pool, did my 2 km of swimming and will try to do my 5 km walking route tonight if my father is avilable for 'sitting the kids.
