Bodies glisten. Oiled, tanned, sleek bodies intermingle with sweat-dripping, not so sleek bodies. Hard bodies and those striving to become hard(er) bodies work side by side. A night at the gym takes precedence over another night at the movies – the bar – the couch.
After the first tremulous days of being in a new place, doing new things, and bending my body into unaccustomed shapes I’ve become one with the gym.
It’s not been an easy 7 months, but it has been fruitful. 40 pounds gone away – for good. Many more pounds must follow. Each day a new day towards life.

VV’s 100 Word challenge this week is SHAKE. The above is a true story. I have many more pounds to go before I am sleek . . . but it is getting closer.
Zumba? My daughter loves it. I think I’d end up hurting myself, I’m so uncoordinated.
no zumba, Tara. I’m pretty uncoordinated myself. I spend my time on the recumbent bike, treadmill, different weight machines, free weights and other fun stuff. Happily both daughters join me from time to time, along with future sil and a granddaughter. 🙂
Wow! Great job! I love the gym when it’s making me feel good. I’ve been a bit down on the place of late and going there has been me forcing myself to do it. Ugh!
Good for you! And not just for the sleekness, that will be a side bonus. But for your health and happiness.
Daughter and I were on an exercise regimen but the last month and a half kind of kicked our butts and we fell away from it. This post has inspired me to get back on that horse. 🙂
That is wonderful! I am down 10lbs. I have alot more to go! Congrats to you!
You’re right, every day is a new day towards life! Way to keep up with it, I love how I feel after working out, or a good walk etc–I wish the feeling lasted long enough to get me to do it more often!
