I went and did it

Hi everyone,
Well Thursday I went and checked out the Curves Fitness Center. Its not far from Judi's house. I went in an talked to them about their program and was upfront that I had had gastric bypass surgery. That made no difference to them. I signed up on a month to month basis in case I don't like it after a while. I went on Friday to exercise for the first time. Janie is the trainer I believe and she went and showed me what to do on each machine. There were only about 5 other women there. They all seemed nice. There is one lady named Dee that before she left just had to give me a hug and tell me how proud that I came and she wished her friend would come, she is about as heavy as I am but won't come with her. I told Dee I wouldn't have been able to come last Oct. when I was at my heaviest. It was a good workout, only lasts 30 minutes and I was wiped out by then. But I went back this morning and whoever was to open up today never showed, so I will go on Monday morning.
I came back and decided to try riding my bike. I was able to tilt the seat up some so I didn't feel like I was falling forward and raised the seat a little and BOOM I took off. I rode just around the one block, but it measures 1/2 mile. I thought that was good for the first time. It is really hot and muggy out this morning. Didn't get any weather from IKE, that's good. Have a birthday party to go to this afternoon for my niece and nephew (Amber and Hunter) it's at a bowling alley so maybe I will bowl a game.
Only about a month and a half till the wedding. Hope this exercising helps firm me up just a little before then.
Went to the Heart doctor last week, all is well and I don't have to go back to him for 6 months. Next month I'm gonna call the pulmonologist and see if I can pick up the oxygen sensor machine and sleep with it and see if my oxygen level stays up. With exercising and sleeping with the machine, I would think that these should all help my oxygen levels. Keep you posted.
