Remember when I blogged about doing 800 squats? Remember when I wanted to kill my husband for thinking it was a good idea for us to work out together? Remember when I whined and complained and was generally acting like a big baby?
One of the main reasons I didn’t want to work out with him was because I didn’t want him to see how far I had to go. I was embarrassed. Ashamed. Unreasonable. My husband coerced me because he’s cute and he wants what’s best for me. That and I like to look at his butt in gym shorts. Anyway, I didn’t give myself any credit. I never thought that I’d go to the gym and impress my husband with how strong I am (thanks Papa for making me cut the grass all those years and not listening to my excuses to not cut it because I’m a girl. I’m a much stronger person now. Ask Hubs.) I knew that I was stronger than I looked from all those years of martial arts. I knew I had muscles somewhere dormant in my body. And oh, OH. My husband woke them up.
I am writing this today as a new woman. Not a smaller woman (yet), but a new one. After those first few work outs with the Hubs I started to feel a lot better. Energized, strong, capable. Now, as I write this I WANT to go to the gym. I haven’t been in a few days due to allergies getting me down. I’m itching to move. I’m ready to get out there and MOVE IT MOVE IT as the song says.
Am I converted?
(PLEASE GOD SAY I’M CONVERTED!)
Ahem. Maybe.
Woo hoo! I hope you are converted girl and hope the allergies go away soon so you can enjoy working out again.
ReplyDeleteI have been pretty good about going to the gym too but what I'm most happy about is that I finally seem to be in a regular yoga practice again -- been going 2 or 3 times a week now for the past 6 months.
LOL, I love this!!!! Chuck and I both joined 24 Hour Fitness, and after only two workouts I'm ITCHING to get into the gym everyday. I did 55 mins of cardio my second day back and was so inspired and happy with myself that I just can't wait to go again. Congrats! I hope we're BOTH converted! It makes going to the gym much easier when it's a pleasant experience.
ReplyDeleteI missed you, by the way!!! I've been gone from the blogosphere far too long.
You're so much better than I. I'm enjoying the workouts, but I have to practically get my husband to shove me out the door because it does mean facing the allergy demons. I hate allergies!!!
