GLAMMER's Journal, 31 January 2015

Hi Everyone, sorry I've been MIA again. I took a workshop class called "Living Well With Chronic Conditions". It was in the city, 30 miles from my home. I traveled by a medical transport van, which I've never done before & it went very well. My reward from that workshop was getting a 3 month free membership in the YMCA, & I am now in a weight loss & exercise program with them, including help with dieting & having a Personal Trainer (hoity-toity!), who will work with me on developing an exercise program including use of the Y's swimming pool. I'm very excited about this, & I'm sure it will help me to lose weight a little faster but still allowing time for mental & emotional adjustments & all as I go along. I know they will want me to record my daily food intake, which I do anyway but not as exactly or as strictly as I really should. In mid-March the "Living Well With Chronic PAIN" workshop starts, & I really want to try to attend that one too. These van trips take a lot out of me physically, but are so worth it for me. I've gained a couple of pounds lately, but I know they'll vanish soon so I'm not even going to let it worry me. I got to use the Y's pool for the 1st time on Thursday & it was great. I was careful not to overdo it as I know how easy it is to do that in the water, & took a little extra meds & didn't have any muscle cramps or much extra soreness or anything, which is very good. I am to go there twice a week to start & work up to 3 times a week soon, but will try to get on here to visit all my dear FS buddies as often as possible. Sending You Healthy Wishes & Skinny Hugz, GLAMMER

Hi Glammer, when i started to read your recent activity it was almost like reading my own, lol I miss getting on here as much as i would like to and when you said MIA that's what hit me. I wish we would have something like the workshops that you are going to. Sounds like you are doing a great job and best wishes on going to the next workshop and enjoy the pool.

Thanks so much for your encouragement Deb, Kattay & Lady G. I am so excited about the Y visits too, & I know they will help my strength & flexibility, & also weight loss. Everyone at the Y is very nice & helpful, & genuinely caring, which also encourages me. I'll keep y'all posted on how it's going. Hugz, GLAMMER
