The experience of signing up was sort of humbling because I had to discuss my weight and goals with a total stranger. And all this took place in front of my husband, so it was further humbling. But I'm glad that I did it. I felt really supported by my husband and by the staff that I encountered there, so it's a positive step. I'm excited about having a place to go and work out regularly. I plan on swimming laps at first and then moving on to other low impact exercises like the bike or elliptical machine.
It's definitely forcing me to face some anxiety head on too because it's a new routine for me. I feel weird about the changing & showering in the locker room and working out in front of strangers. I also have to go through a personal training session which I'm sure will be helpful but will also be an anxious situation for me. I'm really looking forward to putting the extra effort into getting healthy and getting the weight off.
I was sure I posted a comment. I had gone through issues with my Thyroid as well. I was Hyperthyroid for quite some time. I did have radio-active IODINE Treatment and it seemed to be stable. I did not go into being Hypo.
ReplyDeleteScroll up a few years I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer last year, Both Breasts were removed. They are now saying there is a link to having issues with our Endocrine System and later Breast Cancer. Not sure how true.
