For the first time in an embarassingly long time, last night I went to the gym (this time to Bally‘s, where Daniel has long had a membership, and now I do, too!) and spent 30 minutes on an elliptical machine.
Given that it’s been more than a short while since I last worked out, the fact that I made it 30 minutes on the elliptical felt like a major victory.
After waiting for a free machine, Daniel hopped on the machine next to me. That was literally the first time I’ve ever gone to the gym with someone else, especially a boyfriend, and it was awesome. While we didn’t talk during our exercise time, it was really cool to have him there.
I had forgotten how good I feel after a good workout — I was energetic, happy, and relaxed after my 30 minutes were up. (Especially after I found my legs again.) My exercise addiction will (hopefully) be making a swift comeback in the days and weeks ahead! Yay! 🙂
Good for you. I love those elliptical machines.
