Today was the first time I have been to the gym in 2 weeks...not by choice I might add. My caring husband banned me from the gym because I haven't been feeling very well the past couple weeks. (Its a good thing I have him, becuase sometimes I don't know when to stop) The doctor said I have an Iron Deficiency and so I've been put on Iron supplements. Anyway, I haven't felt up to doing much of anything, always being tired and nauseaus. Last night I got plenty of sleep and told myself if I slept in that I could venture to the gym. I was so excited at the thought. For those who don't know, I am completely obsessed with the gym and working out. I have always enjoyed exercising and then I majored in Exercise and Sport Science and that just fueled my desires to be healthy. As soon as I stepped foot in the gym this morning, I immediately got a huge smile on my face. I can't even tell you how good it felt to run, and sweat, and make my muscles completely tired. I love the feeling of a good, hard workout and because it had been a couple weeks, it made me appreciate it that much more! I know some of you are probably like "Big deal, you went to the gym" but it feels so good to be exercising and to know that I'm doing so much good for my heart, my lungs, my weight, and my whole body! The other day I was talking to my mom and she thanked me for being such a good influence on my family in terms of exercising and eating healthy. To me that was a huge compliment! It means so much to me to think that I can help make others healthier!So here's to small and simple things that can make our days better and our lives happier!

That is awesome Karlee! I didn't know you loved the gym so much. And yes I agree with you, it is a big deal to go to the gym and feel a good burn. Nothing feels better than sweating and having your muscles sore. No wonder you look so great!!
I need to start going to the gym period. I never know were to even begin, and what workouts are best. So awesome karlee! Sounds like you have a great husband:)

Thanks for that post. Now I feel like a huge fatty. I will never be as skinny as you so I might as well not try, right?
Give me a break! You make me sick! :) I know I know...you love the gym. I think Travis secretly didn't want you to go so he could have a break from the gym. JK
I'm glad you're feeling a little better and that it's not your mono that was back!
Oh I am totally with you...I LOVE exercising. It makes me so happy too:) I'm glad you are feeling better too!
Me too!! I LOVE to workout and now that I know you do, we will have to go together sometime! I did the dance class today, what a laugh! And tell amber it's never too late to start.
