Yeah, six months ago, I never would
have said anything like that.
Six months ago I was a professional sitter.
I could sit on the couch like nobody's business.
If there was a sitting event in the Olympics I would medal.
Lovin' the gym, people!!
If you've been reading my blog, you know that
not too long ago Paul my trainer not my husband
broke up with me, and all he left me with was a
rotten case of golfer's elbow (which happens when
your trainer who is leaving the gym and doesn't seem to
care, throws a medicine ball to you waaay to hard and
you catch it and think 'OW, WTF?')
Well, I have a new trainer; Jeff.
Just Jeff.
I was a little apprehensive to work with someone new.
But......
Jeff
Is
Terrific!!!
He's older than I am.
He understands that I want to get into shape, not go through basic training.
He does NOT text all during our sessions.
He's funny.
I like Jeff.
I think about him all the time because
MY BODY ACHES FOR DAYS AFTER A TRAINING SESSION!!
I'm no longer a sitter.
I have more energy than I ever had in my life.
I feel great.
I can go, go, go.
All that stuff that people say about exercise....
IT'S TRUE!!!
I don't know how I'd get through my mother's illness
if I didn't have the gym, both for the energy aspect
and the 'focus on something else' aspect.
The gym is my therapy.
Have to run, I have a therapy session at 8am!!!

kerry i just love this post -- i can relate in so many ways because like you i have just recently found out how theraputic working out is.
as far as your ex -- paul yor trainer not your husband -- how freakin' rude that he texted through your workouts. i realize it's probably a generation gap because my teenagers are constantly texting -- but if i am paying someone i expect to be the center of their universe for the time i am paying for!
so glad you found jeff -- he sounds like a keeper! and all of this is so helpful for when i bite the bullet & start looking for a trainer of my own.
happy saturday!
xxoo

Shoot! I wish Jeff was in my neck of the woods to whip my butt in shape! Keep up the good work!
After way too many years accompanying my husband on the couch - I decided to give the family a membership to the gym for Christmas. Best dang gift ever.
Good for you to be able to say how much you love the gym! I still have not overcome my fear of those words but I haven't given up either.
Catching up on your blog, and I am so sorry about your Mom. Having lost my father to lung cancer years ago, I remember the pain & I will keep your family in my prayers. {{{HUGS}}}
Yay! What is it my aunt used to say? "Nothing cures one trainer like another!" No wait...that wasn't it. It was "Nothing cures one man like another"! That's it!
