Thanks so much for your support. I'm glad that I'm finally able to get back into the exercise routine -- it's such a wonderful stress reliever and I really need that right now!

Plans for today: the gym we joined has finally opened! A couple of people I know went there yesterday and said it's great, so I'm really looking forward to going. Hope I don't stand out too much as a 'novice' as far as the machines go (I can just see myself now, squinting though my bifocals trying to read the instructions on the machines!).

I'll go there today after work for the first time for my LBWO. It will seem strange to try to translate my workout from using dumbells to machines, but I think it will be nice to have a few more options.

I checked gym logs and found a couple of people who use machines. I'll use that info to base today's workout on. but I'll need to bring a paper and pencil for notes in case I need to adjust things for next time.

Wish me luck!
