When I was in 5th grade, one memory that stands out quite vividly is when my mom decided that she wanted to go walking with some ladies from our neighborhood. She didn't want to go alone so she invited me to go with them. It was winter and I remember bundling up in all of my snow gear and then sweating profusely as we briskly walked with mom's new friends. I only remember this one walk because I think that was all there was for mom. I believe that shortly after that she was in the hospital for one of her many visits. It is this memory that has triggered a desire for me to start working out. The reason? I don't want to be frail and scrawny as I get older.
So, Rick and I decided to motivate each other (actually he is motivating me). Last Wednesday we borrowed P90x from a good friend and allowed it to kick our butts. Seriously. But while we are getting our trash kicked, I have never felt better! Maybe it's because as I now pick up anything that has any weight to it at all, I can look down and see a growing bicep! Feels Great. now if I can just get that back fat and belly flab kicked, all would be well.
