I did it!!!
I went to the gym last night and exercised. 
I only walked on the treadmill, but it was GREAT!! I didn't overdo it like I did the last time I tried to join a gym. I started slow, had a good pace in the middle and then did a slow warmdown. I stayed on for a little over an hour and did a little over 2 miles.
My goal is to go again today after I get off work. I'm not going to feel bad if I don't make it, but I'm going to try. It's so nice to go with a friend and that's what I did last night, but today I'll be going as a solo act. My friend does't have as much to lose as I do, so she's not as committed as I am. She does need to lose weight, but she had gastric bypass a couple of years ago and so she just needs to get back on track. I'm hoping that we can support each other and get healthier. We're on opposite ends of the spectrum. She's trying to lose weight so she can have a baby and I'm now trying to lose weight because I'm DONE having babies and am ready to get my body back.
Now, as for eating...all I can say is...UGH!! It's so hard to get on track, however, I do feel like only eating good things now because I worked hard at the gym last night and I don't want to undo that work by eating junk. I just need to try to hang on to that motivation/resolve all day. It's going to be hard, we're having an office luncheon today for our "olympic" closing ceremonies, but there will probably be a lot of salad and I'm going to try to stick to that.
I hope everyone has a great day.
