Exercise......

I can't seem to get motivated to exercise. I don't know what my problem is but I am constantly making excuses. I will say that I registered for a program at the Y yesterday called 5 weeks to fitness. I'm really excited because with this program I will get to work with a motivational coach. How great is that? It also gives me the opportunity to check out the Y to see if it's a place where I will comfortable to work out. I am still incredibly self conscious, it's ridiculous!! I'll post my results. Also, the program is open to anyone who wants to go. Check out the Y website for details!

Ok, so on another note. At the meeting last night I sat with some incredible women (and men too!). I am so inspired by their success. The sisters (you know who are you!!) are amazing. I love how they get along and how they support each other. Two of them had surgery awhile ago (lapband and bypass) and the third sister had her lapband surgery 5 days ago. They have been incredibly successful but have worked very hard to get where they are. I wish them the very best!! The other people who attend the 8 month post-op group are also amazing. Everyone is incredibly open about they're challenges and successes. It helps make me feel "normal". I feel like I'm in a therapy session, it's awesome.

Before I go, I would like to make one suggestion. Whether you are pre-op or post-op, please make an effort to go to the support groups! You owe it to yourself to get the support from other people who understand what you're going through. I have been going since last August and I look forward to each meeting. I am disappointed when I can't make it and often feel like I have missed out.

Anyway, I'm done blabbing for tonight. I wish you all well!!
Warmly,
Jenn
