Two Months

So, I've been working out for 2 months now.
No, REALLY working out.
I go to the gym 5-6 days per week
and 3 of those days are with a personal trainer.
SEE??
REALLY working out.
What have I learned in 2 months?
Well.....

I have learned that 1 hour with the trainer is MUCH better than 1/2 hour with the trainer.
Paul, my trainer, not my husband, feels he must get 60 minutes of torture into a 30 minute time frame.
I have learned that spreading the torture out is much better.

I have learned that breathing is a good thing, and that sometimes I forget to do it.

I have learned that yes, sometimes people throw up at the gym. (No, I haven't....yet)

I have learned that even though I was once sure that I could do ANYTHING for 2 minutes, I was wrong. 2 minutes is a long freakin' time!

I have learned that once I get past those two minutes, I will feel an amazing sense of accomplishment and the rest of the workout will be a piece of cake walk in the park.

I have learned that waking up with aching muscles is a really good feeling.

I have learned that this exercise thing is GREAT!!

Good for you!!!!
I am having trouble sticking to my 30 min walks.
I used to walk/run for hours, hard to believe.
