working out at the gym

Since I sign up with SparkPeople.com to help lose weight and get a better handle, on learning to eat right and to get my sugar and blood pressure down I have felt much better. It's been a month now and have been able to keep my diabetes under control with out my meds, and been motivated to go to the gym and work out. Back in march I had head surgery done, which left my right side weak. After being in rehab, and with very dedicated people to help me, I am back to work sooner then the doctors would think, I would be back. I do therapy still and go to the gym and workout which is making me stronger. I have my goals to prove to my rehab doctor, that I can do things like before sooner then he predicted. I know I will get there, it just takes hard word, and the drive to strive.
