Workout partner

I found me a workout partner. My new partner is my hairstylist, Mary. LOL!! I was getting my hair done the other day, and we were talking about how we needed to lose weight, and how we never go to they gym, etc..... We both belong to the same gym, and had talked about meeting at the gym before, a few months ago, but had never done it.

This time was different. We both agreed that having a person to be accountable to would help. So every Monday and Wednesday we are going to meet at the gym.

Today was the first day. We both made it. Mary kept telling me how happy she was that we were doing it. I am happy too! I walked for an hour today. I did 2.75 (ish) miles. I think it was actually 2.78 when I got off the treadmill, but am not 100% positive. I know it was at least 2.75. I also did the circuit training. On my worksheet for that, it had me do a squat using the stability ball....I just know that I am going to feel that in my thighs tomorrow! LOL!!

I am sooo glad that Mary and I have decided to do this. Even if we only meet each other twice a week...it will get us going! And maybe once we get going and make it a habit, and begin to lose weight, maybe we will go even more. I am not sure that we will be able to meet together any other day (those happen to be her days off) but, it will be nice to be able to look forward to having a partner on at least those 2 days.

I know this is just what I need. A standing "date" to go to the gym! No excuses!!
