We did it! We joined the gym yesterday! Of course, now I’m eating Ben & Jerry’s pumpkin cheesecake ice cream, but you have to start somewhere, right? I’ll work on the diet later, after the exercise thing is a habit.
Yesterday was basically a ‘learn how the equipment works’ workout, but this afternoon I went in and started making some progress. It’ll be fun to see how long it takes me to be able to do 30min straight on the elliptical. I only managed about 12min today before I had to get off and stretch to keep from cramping up. I got on for a few more minutes after the stretching, but didn’t stay long due to my hip flexors being all crabby. They haven’t done this much work for a while! After that, I did a bit of upper body strength training. My shoulders are gonna hurt tomorrow! But man, I can’t wait to have my bicep muscles back! I think I did about 35-40 minutes worth of exercise total, which isn’t too bad for my second day.
While I was there, I was the only female in the place. I kinda liked it. For some reason, I don’t care what the guys think of me. I’m way more intimidated by the buff women. Maybe it has to do with being married. Or maybe it’s my competitive streak. I don’t know.
Anyway, it felt really good working out today. Hopefully I’m not too sore tomorrow!
