finally working out

Hi Everybody, Well, I started working out yesterday. This is day #2 and I'm sooooooooo sore! Ah, but it's a good feeling. My workout partner has made me a list of things to do every day and he's been a great coach. He shows me how to do the exercise and if I'm not doing it right immediately stops me and I have to start over again. Oh, lord, I don't know how to say it right, but he's not afraid to touch me. Like yesterday, I was doing some damn excercise and I was just doing it wrong. So he says I'll hurt my back that way....grabs my hips, positions them right, pushes down on my lower back and pulls up my shoulders, then stands behind me and pulls up on the weights with me so I know exactly how to do it. He's always checking to make sure I'm not hurt and that I'm not cheating. And he's fun and teases. It's great working out with a friend who knows what they're doing. I'm not just a face or a membership dues. Of course, I'm gonna have to help him change his taste in music. The boy is 25 and he wants to work out to "Sitting on the dock of the bay"???? Anyway. Also started at curves and that's kinda boring and goes way to quickly, but I have a year contract so I guess I'll be going there regularly. Might as well not waste my money. Oh, and I didn't ask permission. I just told my dh that I was doing it. He didn't even react...which is another story for another time. I wish he'd pay more attention to me. Hope ya'll have a great Thursday. Not sure what I'm gonna do tonight. Might head over to Dothan for that dinner meeting. Missing ya'll G

I'm SOOO proud of you You will be GI JANE in no time! I wish I could get motivated to work out. I JUST HATE IT SO MUCH. Hugs to you, Kim

Bravo for you! "Sitting on the dock of the bay," huh? It could be worse, I guess. I hate most other people's choice in music anyway. When I used to go to the aquatic center to swim, they would have the most obnoxious music and it made me crazy. ONE DAY they had some good, serene, tranquil music playing and it was so peaceful, but that was only one danged day. I can't wait to get my mobility to where I can go again. I miss swimming so badly. Hey, if you go to the Dothan meeting, tell Michael Cappelone that "Joni Just Joni" said hello. I just love him. He's such a sweetheart. He doesn't know about our board here, but just say we email each other, okay? Oh, and tell Becky (Bulldog Lady) hello too! She and I share a common love interest....Trace Adkins! Love you, Joni
