Well, after years of sedentary life and half-hearted efforts to lose weight and get into shape, we finally decided that the time for excuses was past. We signed up for a gym membership.
AND, we signed up for 6 months worth of weekly sessions with a personal trainer.
Last Thursday we had our assessment and Dominick (the head trainer) punished us for about 20 minutes. My biceps ached so much that night that I woke up from a deep sleep and had to take some ibuprofen. Since then I've been to the gym 3 other times and just worked out on my own.
Today, Sandy and I met with our assigned trainer, Josh, for the first time. He seems nice, and although my muscles are a bit sore, he didn't kill us too badly. He assured us that there is more pain and misery in our future.
We signed up for an 18-month contract for the gym. That coupled with the cost of the personal trainer should be enough that we'll keep going back, just to get our money's worth if nothing else.
Hopefully, a year from now, I'll be a mere shadow of myself.
It's about time you updated your blog! And I really have a strong dislike for exercise - until after it's completed. Good luck! And did I mention that I MISS YOU?!
