The first butt-kicking of the week came at the hands of a sweet little trainer. She assured me (lied) that this would be an easy workout and that I'd have plenty of energy for the rest of the day. Liar.
Then, after the butt-kicking came the beatdown. This time, (different gym) he (why are all trainers under the age of 25?) showed me how to use the elliptical trainer (at my request - I thought it would be "fun"). It was fun, at first - but after ten minutes, I couldn't feel my legs. I wobbled off the elliptical, in search of the meaning of life and a machine with a seat (not necessarily in that order).
In case you're wondering what I'm doing this week... I am working out approximately two hours every day at two different gyms, and forcing myself into a high level of activity during the rest of the day. I'm hitting the reset button on years of indifference and invincibility. It's working.
Love it! Your honesty, humor & heart are revealed as you travel this difficult path. Standing along side, ready to kick you from behind when needed and embrace you from the front in celebration to each and every victory.
