I've been working out at the Y.
At first I could only do 5 mins on the elliptical machine, then 10, then 15. Then I started doing 15 mins then low intensity then 15 more mins.
Today I surprised myself and did an hour on the elliptical machine.
I have also increased my strength. At first I could pull 45 pounds on that bar thingie, then 60 and now 75. I still can't do many reps of 75 pounds, but I can do more now.
My blood pressure is lower too. Normally my blood pressure is about 120/70, but today after exercise it was 89/56.
One weird thing though, I am gaining weight. Previously I had never been actually overweight, but I was always on the verge. Today at 128 pounds I'm at my heaviest and am officially overweight. :/
Oh well, I can only hope with time this will turn around and I will lose fat and weight.
