A few weeks ago, I joined LA Fitness and decided to try a class or two. On the suggestion of a coworker, I went to BodyWorks, a strength-training class, and I fell in LOVE. It's fun, it's tough, and it's full of people of all different fitness levels.
This week, Alison and I went to one of the gyms near work together. It was great having a workout buddy! Plus Alison is pretty much the greatest person to have with you if you need encouragement of any kind. She just exudes happiness. No, not happiness. Joy. Positivity. She encouraged me the whole time and never made fun of me or anything. We're planning on going every Tuesday and Thursday to a BodyWorks class. I can already feel that I'm getting stronger just in the few weeks that I've been doing this. I'm not strong.. but I'm stronger. And it feels good. I still don't like to sweat, but there aren't too many things that feel better than a good sweat from a tough workout. (FYI, one of those things is a cold shower after said-sweat.)
I joined a dietbet with Victoria and some of her friends, and I'm hoping that keeps me motivated for a few more weeks. This is usually the point that I start getting bored and making excuses. I need to push though. Encouragement is always welcome!
Way to go Lynn!!!
