Working Out...

About 5 weeks ago Tommy decided to make a life change and get back to the gym. This decision was huge considering we would work out every now and than and have good weeks and then not work out for months. As we both are getting older and as we see others and the health problems they are facing we know it is more important than ever to take our health seriously. Tommy started going with out me and decided he would just lift weights since he knew he loved that. He wanted to make a habit and make it something he would want to continue to do. I was just so proud of him and the things he was doing. I am not going to lie at first this was hard for me. I enjoy being with my husband and I really take advantage of all the time we get to spend together. We are that couple that for the most part does everything together. School. shopping, errands, we love to cool together and we prefer being with each other over anything else. So the first few weeks Tommy was working out even though I was so proud of him and what he was doing I was sad because it meant I was away from him for a few hours a night. With work and school I really cherish our time together. After Tommy had been working out for a few weeks and we had talked a little about how we could make this situation better he came to me and told me he wanted to bring me along. He wanted me to come and work out with him. He wanted this to be something we did together. At first I am not going to lie I was a little unexcited about this new life style change. It seems the longer I go without working out and having it as a habit the harder it is to make it a priority. Not that I didn't want to but I knew it would be hard to start off and take effort. I didn't want to bring my husband done either. I decided the fact that my husband wanted to make more time to spend with me but he still wanted to work out was a great thing and I better take him up on the offer. He was so sweet to start off slow with me to get me into the groove and things. I am happy to say I have loved it. It has been 2 weeks since I have been going with him and I feel great. I have more energy and it is actually a lot of fun. Most days I really look forward to going to the gym with my husband. I have already begun to see changes in my body in this short amount of time. After getting married and putting on some weight I sometimes wondered can I ever be healthy again? Can I ever loose this extra weight? As we have been working out I am excited and know if we continue to make this a priority and something that is important to both of us we can help each other and have a healthy life style.
