Does anyone really like to exercise?

Ok..my new friend Jennifer has convinced me to start going to the gym with her. Today was our first day. Now...we are not only going to the gym but, we have a personal trainer! We walked in today and I was so intimidated. Our trainer is a blond bombshell with major muscles I'm talking body builder. So of course we start off with squats! Oh my gosh I am too old!!!! Not really I am just totally out of shape. We are going to train with her twice a week for six weeks. I went walking this afternoon trying to get my knees to stop buckling. I know I am going to wake up and need to go to the bathroom and I won't be able to sit down! Ha! I wanted to tell you all that way you can ask me me how I'm doing...this will keep me going, I hope. Wish me luck I'll need it.

Wow Shellie.. that is awesome.. way to start with a Bang! A personal trainer will surely whip your butt.. for me.. one day, I want to wear those skirts and cowboy boots that we saw in Ft. Worth.

I think that is great Shellie. I have gone to a couple personal trainers and have a love/hate relationship with them. I love them for making my body toned but hate them when they hand me the dumbells and tell me to go do lunges. I especially cuss them when I try to sit on the toliet the day after doing those lunges and I just fall to the seat because I cant squat that low because my ass hurts so, so bad, then I cuss some more because I just hurt my ass hitting the seat that hard! Damn trainers! I would go back in a heart beat now though. They motivate you becasue you have no choice your paying them to kick your ass. You will love it, once you start seeing the difference in how you feel and look. Oh also the first time I went to a personal trainer I was hanging over her toiliet for like and 40 minutes after the workout, I was so sick I thought I was going to die hanging over a nasty ass toliet. Best of luck!

BTW-thanks for saying I looked pretty on that last picture on my bowling blog. I just got my hair cut last week. I love it!

Thanks guys for all the comments! Brandi, I expecially like your stories. I felt the same way this am when I went to get on the toliet. My legs hurt so bad and also my butt at the very bottom! Well at least I know it's working. Ha ...I want to cry!
