Jada Petsch's Journal, 01 July 2011

So only 1/2 lb above my lowest weight. Can totally deal with that. Dropped 3lbs overnight in water weight. Woke up 3 times just for potty breaks. XD lol. Not nearly as sore today as I thought I would be. Just mild aches all over from Kickboxing.

So my experience at the Wellness center:

Got there, Jules immediately went to the childcare room and forgot i existed for the next hour an a half.

They discounted my day pass from 8 to 5 dollars. Which was nice of them. Then I had a talk with the desk/weight area staff about the gym, prices, new equipment, management, and my plan for future fitness. They would be more than happy to help me set up a strength training program using the weight machines. Also they're fixing to get 30,000 dollars worth of new epuipement, and the machines they currently have will all be re-covered. New Treadmills too. They'll soon be affiliated with the County hospital as well.

Got on the treadmill and did a mile in 16mins. Actually surprised myself and jogged after being away from it for so long. And I kinda tilt to the left side when jogging, but that's also the foot I've issues with. It wasn't completely happy about me jogging on it either and felt tight almost cramp like after I was done. Stretched it out and got on the bicycle peddly thing and did that for awhile, then the instructors for the kickboxing class came in, and I talked to them while they set up. One of the ladies I knew from my previous memberships there and she teaches one heck of a class. :)

Had an odd realization when everyone got there, I'm still one of the bigger girls there, but!! There were 2-3 others about my same size!! :D It was nice to kinda fit in with the others and not stick out as the biggest person in the room, big difference from 60lbs ago and my first month at the gym.

As for the class itself, I really enjoyed it, though I couldn't keep up with everyone since it was my first day back. Also think I needed to eat something more substantial before the class, and my new glasses with the mirrors weren't overly helpful either. lol. Got very hot, light headed, and a little dizzy the last 10 mins of class.

I was very happy with it all yesterday. Still just didn't feel like I belonged there though. I think it would help if I had more friends among the staff, and other members, but that would happen over time.

I'll probably try the other gym Tuesday, and make a choice between the two Wednesday.

Hope Everyone's Friday goes quickly and that yall all have a very Happy and Loooong 4th of July Weekend! :D

Someday, you're going to be in a classroom and realize you are one of the fittest women in the gym :) It's going to be one of the best days ever! Good luck on your gym hunt! Finding a place where you feel comfortable is so important. I've come to just LOVE group exercise classes, myself, so that will be my number one thing to look for in my next gym: lots of classes!

That will be a really Awesome feeling Kate and I'm looking forward to that day. I love the classes too and the large variety they offer at the wellness center is Wonderful and there is always enough people there to fill the room without it feeling crowded.

Hi Jada, I hope you find a gym that really works for you! The only ones I enjoyed being a member of were those for women only. That was a very long time ago and neither of the two are still in business. :( The one time I tried the major gym in our area I ended up with a trainer who spent most of his time walking with me to each of the machines and flexing his muscles. What time was left he spent talking to other people he knew. He was constantly looking around to see who was there. I think he only spent a couple of minutes per machine instructing me on how to use them. I went back a few times but never felt comfortable there. I hope you are doing well and that your foot starts behaving on that treadmill!!! Take care!
