Went to the gym today for the first time in... uh... six years? Met with a personal trainer, who took down my fitness goals and measurements and got me working on a machine for a half hour.

Holy WOW, am I out of shape. I had thought that with my highly physical job and all my pedestrianism, that I wouldn't have been THAT bad off, but ooooh was I wrong.

Yup, already, and it's only been three hours. I can't imagine how I'll feel tomorrow morning!

What type of machine did the trainer have you working on? Arms? Legs? Bicycle?

Legs are always the worst because when they are sore you barely move around the next day.

It's hard to get back into the swing of things, but once you get used to the routine, it'll seem a lot easier. Congratulations!

I think it's a common misconception that walking is enough to keep someone in shape. It's all about getting your heart rate up and keeping it up for 30+ minutes. I walk all the time, both out of need and for leisure and exercise and I'm really not in THAT great of shape.

I'm sure if you stick with it it will be easier!

Yep, and we are made to adapt to activities we do all the time. Even people training for marathons will sometimes gain fat, or, at the very least, surprisingly, not lose any. Kind of unfair, lol.

Congrats on going to the gym again! Keep it up! Me and Sam are going on a joint diet, maybe you can join our willpower-reinforcement team. :)

Oh yeah, and I love you no matter anyone's weight, don't forget! I also know that skinny guitar-playing girl you have as one of your icon is still inside you starving to get out. Well, hopefully not actually STARVING.
