I worked out last night, since tonight won't be a good night. I'm off until Monday, though I may do some walking outside tomorrow if it's nice.

Only downside is that the initial excitement is already starting to wear off, especially as I'm realizing it's going to be awhile before I see much in the way of results. I don't JUST need to get in shape as I have every other time I've gotten back into working out...I need to lose some weight - not much, but ten or fifteen pounds, maybe, which will take a couple of months. And I'm very, very impatient. I have TREMENDOUS respect for folks that are able to stick with diet and exercise for the long haul. Here I am looking forward to a few months of work, and I'm discouraged.

But that's what exercise nags are for. ;-)

You know...starting up with this again makes me wish yet again that I hadn't lost touch with my last serious exercise buddy. I used to go to the gym in the evenings, fairly late, like seven thirty or eight when not as many people were there. There was one girl who was always there when I was and we eventually introduced ourselves. We ended up as really good friends. She was a real sweetheart...2J reminds me a little of her. A stay at home mom with two little boys, though hers were only about two and four at the time. We trained together for a 5k, though she walked it instead of running due to a knee problem...and we just hung out together all the time! I lost touch when we both left Germany, and her last name is a common one so it would be hard to find her. *snif*

Ironically, her real name was Jen!
