Does anybody need a workout buddy - to be accountable???!!!

I'm posting my update right now its been a while since i have checked in!

yes! i always do better with a workout buddy! I joined a different gym so i could work out with a friend! It sounds silly, but I have also done a weight loss contract before. We promised to work out 20 min a day (anything would count as long as you were moving, like just going for a walk) and if we missed a day, both of us had to do an extra 20 minutes. we did it for a month. it worked!

Okay, so I'm a week late, but I joined the Y after work today. Tomorrow at 1pm I go for my Wellness Assessment / Test and to get back on an exercise program. I'm a little bummed b/c they told me the military price was no initiation fee and $19/month for both of us ... but tonight they said $60/month.

I still signed up though!!!

The pounds are starting to creep back up (well, more than creep) and I hate for all the work I did this past winter to not even be noticeable when Tom gets home. So I figure the way my schedule is ... can fit in 7 workouts before he flies back in ... and if I do enough cardio ... hopefully it will help, at least a little bit!

Plus, I went to the store last night and bought fruit and healthy sandwich stuff (I ually eat ssoo bad .... pasta, cream sauce, etc etc)...

How is it going Tami? Are you getting work outs in?

I went yesterday and got my Wellness Assessment. Above average in some areas, below average in others. We've decided my goal is to lose 8 pounds and a 5% reduction in body fat.

We got started with a new workout plan ... and I can hardly move today, I am SSOO sore. I planned on going back today, but the Y is closed for some reason. I figured getting back there again today would help ease the soreness. So, I'll be going tomorrow instead.

OMG ... I can't believe how not working out since March can make me ssoo sore and out of shape again. Onward, though!!! I will be in tip-top shape come April 2008!!!

Help keep me on target, ladies!!!

I know exactly how you feel. I went 5 days a week, and then had to stop for a while to take care of family (I would say 6 weeks total) and when I went back I was shocked at how much my body changed, I could not lift the same weights and I got tired really fast. Its crazy.

Good for you getting back at it again.
