GEARING UP

So it's officially December and I have now lost most of my body tone from the summer when I was much more physically active than I am now. I'm not fat by any means (see my title & profile picture), especially since I'm basically a vegetarian...almost. But when it comes to physical endurance and stamina or even lifting my dirty clothes basket when it's full, it's a sad sight. My husband has been begging me for over a year to join J&K's gym. I've been saying no because I thought it was just another gimmick to spend more time with J& the guys and avoid his other chores here at home. 
"Honey, I just don't have the time to mow the lawn today."
"You didn't have time to mow it last MONTH either!!" 

But now I may need to rethink this. There's no getting past the fact that we both could be in a lot better shape. I cringe when I think about how awesome we were physically just two years ago in comparison with today. If I could lose just 5 lbs and beat K in arm wrestling I'd be happy. So J&K hooked us up with a two week free trial membership. When I went Saturday I thought I was going to die. Pathetic. But tonight we have a weight-training class and I'm excited about it. I'm gonna walk in there with a new attitude and my new workout gear I bought today. Yes, I may sweat & make pit rings like an ice glass melting on a polished mahogany table and I may even faint from exhaustion and totally embarrass myself but at least I'm not the type to sit on my butt all day and blog about absolutely nothing.
