Getting Stronger Everyday

About 4 years ago, I started using the gym in the basement of the hospital. I went most days, and used the machines to increase strength. I would only work out for 15-20 minutes, but slowly over time I noticed my strength improving, and I had a nice little energy boost from my morning routine. Recently I went on FMLA to help my spouse recover from surgery. During the 3 months that I was away I really neglected myself; I gained weight, and I didn't exercise. Now that I'm back at work, and back at the gym, I'm feeling better and stronger again. Although I've lost some strength, I know everyday I'm getting stronger and feeling more positive. Every little bit helps.
