tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrred

I am in complete exhaustion mode. For a normal person, what I have done in the past week would be normal routine. For my weak body, it's overkill. I need to build strength before I have none left. :/

Maybe if you want you can come to the gym with me as my guest? It's a nice gym, and you can start out really slow. The exercise bikes are nice, and have TV's, LOL. I roll along, and watch the Food Network.

Its the Planet Fitness on Apollo. I love it. haven't missed a day yet. Think it over...? You can even try starting out one day a week. Really slow, then work up to more.

Ya wanna know something pathetic? I have a Bowflex home gym and a step machine. I also have an ab roller and a yoga ball. They all collect dust. I really need to get motivated.

Before I was re diagnosed in 2002 I exercised like a crazy person. With the chemo they put me on I was on steroids. I hated them. I was more emotional than usual, sick all the time and gained 30ish pounds. I went into a bad depression. Since then I just haven't been motivated to get this weight off.

I think I'm ready. I did water aerobics in my moms pool today and really feel I am ready to get on my stepper tomorrow. :)

A gym at home is no fun though... I think you need a sense of competition (no matter how slight) in order to stay motivated. You already know how to work out, I'm a total newbie at it. It would be fun, and a great way to get out of the house! Then you can do the home stuff when you cant get out of the house. Its just a great way to build up your stamina and a nice social outlet too. The gym I go to is so nice, no one judges, everyone is average size, no hardbodies, no muscleheads.

And I dont think its pathetic to not exercise at a home gym. Not at all. I had exercise equipment at home for years when I was with my ex, yet never used it. It just wasn't enough to motivate me. Going to the gym is. It's just more fun!

Oh, yeah, and we have a yoga ball too. Kristen sits on it and says, "I swallowed my gum and farted." She gets more use out of it that way than I EVER have. LOL.

Let me think about it. I'm not sure I'm ready yet. Not the exercise part... I'm not sure I am ready to hang out yet. I really like you and think we could be good friends. I just still have a tremendous amount of pain when it comes to my marriage falling apart. I need more healing time, but I will never fully heal. There were so many misunderstandings between us (and still are) and we didn't even try to fix it.

I see the two of you are talking and getting along again. That is great. I told you I would be happy for him. I do want Julz to be happy.

I don't want to get blamed if things don't work out. I think it's best if we keep things the way they are until you two figure out where you want your relationship to go.

I completely understand, and agree that maybe we should keep things like this for a while.

Where I know you are aware that I am not the reason things ended with your marriage, seeing him with someone else, no matter who, is no less painful. I know that. I don't want to cause you pain, and I do want to continue in a friendly manner with you. If keeping things this way is the way to do it then I am all for it. I have always had, and still have a lot of respect for you as a person, and do not want to ruin what we have carefully built up. So take care, and know I am always here if you want to talk, or change your mind about the gym. The offer is open and always there.
