Hello,

Well I had my first gym session today... I had a Hypo earlier in the day and over medicated a bit so when I started I was at 13.4 after 15 mins I was at 11.1 after another 15 mins I went to 7.6 then after 10 mins I was at 10.1...
I feel very tired and still can't wait for my next session. I took it slow today and will take it up slowly, once I have a better idea of how it affects my levels.

I have been feeling really bad about myself for the past couple of weeks and have been getting quite down about the way I look (Vain!! haha) It has started affecting my relationship so hopefully going to the gym and improving my diet will get me back to the way I was and happy again!!

Thanks for listening... Well Reading! 🙂
 
Hi Rissy,

I'm glad that your first session was a success and hope the next one is too 🙂

I started my aerobic classes again on Monday and forgot what a buzz I used to get from them. It's amazing how good exercise can make you feel isn't it? Really lifts my mood.

Good luck and let us know how it goes x
 
It really does I have now had 3 sessions and my next one tomorrow... I'm looking forward to it, howeve I am still aching haha!! :(
 
Hi - well done to both of you on kick starting the exercise. It really does make you feel good doesn't it.🙂
