One goal I had in coming down here was to get fit again.
I was really fit once. Of course I was 26 years old then, and I had no good car, so for one year I biked everywhere, and everything was a long way from my home.
Then I got married, had children, moved to Ellsworth, etc.
I tried to regain my fitness when I worked at Blue Cross by joining Lifetime in Eagan. I had a personal trainer, Anthony, and worked out hard, a lot. But then I switched to Fitness Influence in Ellsworth and the whole plan sort of fell apart.
Down here, I've been walking the dog. 2.6 miles per dog-walk. And I thought that was pretty darn hard.
Today I rejoined the Port Saint Lucie Fitness Center, at the Civic Center, and actually had a personal training session with Matt. Matt looked like a very recently retired body builder--of the Mr. Universe variety. The workout actually wasn't too bad, and I plan to continue working out and meeting with Matt for at least a while. I am sure he took it very easy on me, knowing how unfit I had been. For one of the exercises, He didn't even give me any weights!
I am not going to set ambitious goals this time. I want to keep getting progressively more fit, and continue to lose weight. Progress is the goal. Of course, I have some hidden goals, but if I write them down and don't make them, I'll feel disappointed and might get derailed. So I'm sticking with the 'progress' goal.
