Aaron and I finally joined a gym we think we will like. We had our first training session last Wednesday and let me tell you, it was an hour of pure hell...for Aaron anyway. His guy was killing him! Poor man was doing lunges upon lunges, bench presses, incline presses, mountain climbers...and those were only the ones I was able to make out while sweating my own biscuits off! My trainer was much more reasonable. That or she quickly realized I'm fairly out of shape and she didn't want to kill me right off the bat! None the less, I got my ass kicked as well. WHEW! We were sore for a solid 4 days after. We have our next training session this coming week and I already know my trainer and I will be going through the same circuit of cardio, mountain climbers (the death of me), and strength training exercises. I'm not enjoying it yet by any means and I have yet to feel endorphins, but I'm hanging in there.
On another note and completely off topic, we are getting a dog!! My family had a chocolate lab all of my high school and college years so I have been begging Aaron since we moved into our house last July. He finally caved and I couldn't be any happier! A co-worker of his mom's has a golden lab mix that just had puppies last week. I've done a bit of research and they seem to be the best of both breeds so as for having a companion when Aaron is gone I'm good there. I've also read that they are especially good with young children/kids so that's a huge plus for when we decide to start a family in a few years. Now we just need to decide whether or not we want a boy or girl....hmm!!
