I joined a Gym!

I joined a gym yesterday!!  Club Newtone in Lafayette, and I have to say so far I am really excited about it.  I met with a personal trainer today for a fitness assessment, and to say it was embarrassing would be an understatement.  I nearly passed out; I knew I was out of shape, but this was worse than I ever expected.  I was so discouraged when I was going through the workout because it hurt and I felt so out of shape.  I survived the workout though, then I showered and got ready for work.  I was pretty proud of myself.  Then I walked out to my car and the sun wasn't even up yet.  I have to say getting up, working out and leaving the gym before the sun comes up is a pretty freaking awesome feeling.  I felt great for the rest of the day, I had a lot more energy than normal.  

After school I went on a two mile walk with my mom.  One of the things Brandy, the trainer, told was to make sure to get in my minutes/miles of training each week.  Luckily my mom was free this afternoon, because I hate walking alone.  It goes so much faster when I walk with someone.  I thought walking this afternoon would loosen up my legs, they were starting to get stiff from my morning workout.

I have to say that at this moment and time my muscles hurt like hell.  I took an Epsom  salt bath this evening and it helped, but yikes!  I think I might really need to work on my stretching after my workouts.  On a more positive note, I tried to convince a friend to run with me today.  She said no, but she did promise to meet me at the finish line with a wheel chair, hot EMTs and a tequila sour :)
