Two is better than one

Home for the weekend.. weight this morning: 158.4. I was extremely excited to see that number. But more than that, i'm so pumped about last night. My boyfriend got a gym membership to a local fitness center, because he's ready to get in shape, and he's got some free passes for people to go. He asked me if i wanted to go with him, and of course I said yes. So we got ready and headed into town last night.It was our first time working out together, and to be honest, I didn't know how it was going to go. I have my set routine that I do in the gym: stretch, weights, cardio, sometimes abs. I knew that he was new to the whole workout thing, and I didn't want to seem too imposing or cramp his style. But, I have to say, 5 minutes of stretching, a couple sets of squats and incline bench, and 20 minutes of cardio later... I loved it. It wasn't a super hardcore workout, but i thought it was a great bonding experience for us. Seeing each other push hard and trying to better our health is really rewarding. I'm hoping to go tonight or tomorrow with him. This just gives me more motivation because I know that he understands a little of how this weight loss journey feels like. Did i feel pretty? hell no. I sweat when I workout.. a LOT. it's rather embarassing. I had my hair pulled back in a high pony tail, no makeup on, and my face was as red as a tomato. But i didn't care one single bit, first off because working out is for me. I can deal with looking a nasty mess to get the results. Secondly, my boyfriend has seen me at my absolute worst, and he still thinks i'm beautiful. So the overall experience was an amazing confidence booster and bonding time. I'm so proud of him, because he's put on some weight in the past few months, but he's doing something about it, and it all starts somewhere. I feel like this will be better for me because I have an accountability partner that's not at school, so it's almost like we're on this journey together, but separate.

I'm not worried about eating super healthy this weekend, like I said in the beginning, I'm not trying to do this quickly, I want it to last. A few chips and some chocolate aren't gonna kill me, and I hate feeling deprived because then I end up bingeing hardcore. I'm feeling hungry, think i'm gonna go rummage in the kitchen for something to eat. :)
