get in shape girl.

that's me. so excited about this whole gym thing. well, nervous actually. yesterday, nick and i went to omni and signed me up for a membership. nick has has his for over two years but rarely goes. we decided that we could be motivation for one another.
so after signing up, we were able to get our fitness profiles done. scary yet good. i mean who wants to know how much fat they are carrying around? no girl i know! but the lady said that mine was very good. less that 25%. so her goal for me is to drop 3%. which equals about 5 pounds. so doable in my book. but she also wants me to gain lean muscle. i don't really care about the number. i just want to feel better about myself and be in shape. i mean, i may be thin but in no way does that mean i'm healthy.
nick's body fat was nonexistent. i hate him! ;) 5% only! old boy has some serious bulking up to do!
they have a program with trainers. you meet once a week and then the following two days they rearrange your program and meet back the following week. for the both of us it would only be $50. reasonable to me. i don't want to look like some fool hanging upside down and backwards from a piece of equipment. and nick totally needs the guidance with all the muscle building he has to do. so we are going to try it for three months and see how it goes. hopefully, we will both have the feel for the gym and not need to. well, at least me. nick might need all the help he can get gaining 30 pounds or so!
so far we've gone two days in a row. tomorrow is our first day with the trainer. i hope to pete i can still walk on tuesday!
we also went on a shopping spree for our gym goodies. i got a new i pod nano. still need some super cute accesories for that but they can wait. nick already had a mp3 player. not a good one, but one nonetheless. then we had to get new shoes, some warmup pants, sportsbras, shirts. you know the essentials.
eventho we spent a bundle, i'm totally stoked. i hope we can both keep this up and can feel healthier! heck, exercising was one of my new year's resolultions...i got it in under the wire. a month or so to go!
