I survived the gym~
So, I didn't die after all. Instead, I did some push-ups, various exercises, and lifted some weights (2 5 pound dumbbells and a 10 pound triceps press). I also got my height and weight measured, but those are secret. :P Though if you want to know, I might or might not tell you privately
My personal trainer's also going to come up with an exercise program that's catered to my needs, so I'd likely be meeting him twice a month, and working out 3 times a week, for at least 8 weeks. The goals/areas I told him I wanted to achieve were to increase my upper body strength, to increase my stamina and to look lean. I didn't tell him why I wanted to look lean, though. ^^;;;
The workout was quite fun, and I felt better (read: less embarrassed) doing repetitions when there was someone there to encourage me. And then I couldn't remember which locker I'd used and spent nearly half an hour trying to find it. But I eventually got home around 9 am...
My next appointment's on Tuesday at 8:30 am, when I'll get the exercise plan, and I'm probably going to shower and change there before going straight to work. Hopefully my legs will cooperate, too.
Other than that, today was a pretty quiet day. And I'm wondering if I'll still be invited for dinner tonight (I was invited last week) or whether that's been called off... And I'm off to another dinner gathering, so I'll have a good dinner, hopefully. ^^;; Even if I still haven't cooked anything as yet
Oh, and my credit card had arrived in the mail when I checked my mailbox this morning! I'm not going to go crazy on it (not with a spending limit of less than $5000), especially since I actually have to remember to pay off the balance (as opposed to a debit card where it just gets deducted) but it's a good thing to have for emergencies and other things. And maybe now I can consider getting myself a desktop? :P
