Ash, thanks for commenting. You've certainly put your best foot forward here - yuk yuk - so you get points for that. But yeah, sounds like a gym keeps you sane. :)

Congrats rick! I am kinda anti-social when it comes to working out. My Gym time is my ME time, and it's my kids social time in the gym's daycare. I love getting outside with the kids and often we walk around centennial park......but then they cry by mile 1 LOL. I've tried waking up at 4:55am before Johnny goes to work to go out for runs, but i love sleep too much. Alas, I am a slave to my gym.

Hey, Beth! Thanks for the comment. You certainly know of what I speak. There's certainly benefits to gyms. Sometimes people have no other options and in your case it help accelerate your weight loss. But the benefits of being outdoors are so easily forgotten!

This is SO great....First off, congrats! And secondly, this is exactly how I started my own weight loss "journey."
I got out and started walking. I too was very impressed by all the new people I met, JUST by walking in my neighborhood! In fact, I even have some that are now close friends of mine. What a blessing!
I would take my baby with me, in his stroller, and even now when I say "Let's go walk!", he goes to his stroller and is SO excited to get out and about.
I have since lost almost 120 pounds...but I confess, I work at a gym now too, so I had the best of both worlds...but walking in the fresh air, the sunshine and yes, even in the cold, is good for SOUL.
Congrats sweet friend...keep up the AWESOME work!!!
