Family Membership to the YMCA.....'A great decision"

We started off Saturday morning, heading over the new YMCA in Ponca City.  It's an awesome facility.  I was so curious to see how my middle son, Hayden would like it.  I was very hopeful he would give it a try, and not worry about it being crowded with people.  (He can sometimes be very overwhelmed with crowds of people and will def. not try something new in front of strangers.)   Upon arriving, I checked Cayden into the Kids Zone, and then took Hayden on a tour.  Clay and Hayden decided to play racquetball, so I went up to the track for a walk.  It's 12 1/2 laps that make a mile and I am not into counting how many times I can walk in a circle, so I like to just walk for a certain amount of time.  I walked a good 45 minutes and a good friend arrived with her son and daughter.  I was hoping to get Hayden hooked up for orientation on the fitness equipment and I knew he might do well with other people he knew.  So we were able to watch as a trainer went through all the equipment and how they work etc.  It was great, she was very informative, although she made those machines look so much easier than they are....LOL!   Turns out......everyone had a blast.    This might just be the best $46.00 a month I have spent in a very long time! 
My weekend has gone extremely well, have stayed on my reboot program and will go back to my dietitian on Friday and be put on a plan that will fit my new healthy lifestyle.  :)  
It's snowing tonight and very cold, I would  love to sit down with a bowl of chili for dinner (but I won't).  My husband has ribs in the oven that are smelling great, and that's def. not my favorite food but tonight........wow, they smell good!   That's OK, because I am focused on the prize...............and that's to get my body to a healthy size, where I feel good, look good.  I don't know what weight that will be and I don't really care at this point...I just want to feel and look good and be in control of what goes in my mouth, and then I'll buy some new cute gym outfits, and run my 5K, that's my goal............and I can see it more clearly everyday!
