8 / 365

Today, for the first time in years, i went back to the gym. This is a rather momentous thing for me; it's taken me months to get up the motivation to go, and today I finally did.

Did i do a lot? no. about 35 minutes of cardio on the bikes was all i could take before my butt started to hurt from the seats. heh. but hey… that's 35 minutes more of cardio than i've been getting for a very long time. I feel good.

I'm going back tomorrow.

Congrats!!

I've been keeping up with Tim and Robert's progress with P90x, and they're doing REALLY well with it. I think, aside from the programme, they have each other to keep motivated. Do you have a workout buddy? Perhaps you and Mike could go together (I don't know if he's interested)?

so the challenge is on.... eh?

Consider the gauntlet thrown... and so begins the countdown. ;)

They both stayed with us for New Years. I was impressed with how much Robert and Tim both have lost, and also toned up. Very impressive.

I, however, am in no way able to do anything close to P90x… yet. I am just concentrating on cardio for the first couple weeks.

YAY! gauntlet = thrown. :-)

You'll get there. BTW, P90x is *always* going to be difficult. To be honest, I don't know if *I* could do it all the way through (it's a lot of high intensity cardio/cross training, and I am built for the exact opposite workout approach).

What are you doing on the diet end of things?

Best of luck!

I started going back to the gym after 4 years away. I am sore but loving it!
