D and I are now working out together. It's really nice. We walk the dogs early in the AM - slower b/c mine is a little older - but about a mile. He has a REALLY hilly neighborhood. Then, we do our walk - about 2.3 miles or so. BRUTAL hills on this walk and we do a 15 min pace. His legs are longer - so sometimes I have a hard time keeping up! I wear my heart rate monitor and I've been watching it - some of the hills it has gone down significantly! I figure when each hill is at 80% or under, I'm ready to start running!
We are also going to the gym 3x per week in the afternoons to weight train. Even tho he hasn't really had to spot me, I will go knowing that he is there in case I need it :) My clothes are a little looser - so this is working :) The other days I go to my gym (he hasn't joined mine yet - I joined his for $9 a month!) and do RPM.
We are getting back into a routine now that I am back from CR. This week was hard as I hadn't been sleeping well, and the heat during the day is KILLING him when he gets in at night. So, this morning was the first one where we did everything back on pace like usual - felt ssssssssssoooooooo good!
I like that he wants to walk/workout with me :) MUCH more encouraging for me. My short-term goal - lose the 20 pounds I put on during grad school to get back into my good work clothes by the beginning of August. We've also been watching our meals - so I think as long as I keep that up, I'll be good on my goal :)
