Two weeks in....

Paul and I have been exercising for two weeks now, and I'm actually starting to feel it. I like the sore workout feeling in my muscles. We both have different ideals, but the same goal. He wants to look good, I want to be healthy. However these are two sides of the same coin. By working out so that he's not the fat guy in the garage, the weightlifting and aerobics will make him healthy, burning fat and toning up will make me look good.

I'm physically stronger than Paul, but I feel I have the biggest problem, I'm way fatter than him. The size of my gut alone makes crunches hard and situps nearly impossible. He said something I was thinking about. : The first thing off is the last thing you put on. The only place I'm especially fat at all is my belly. Gut first, then I guess I lose a chin and get my cheekbones back, if I actually lose that much fat. By Summer vacation, I'll have have 3 months of working out under my belt. That should be enough for drastic improvement. I hope so.......

I wish I had done a good "before" picture so as to gague my progress.

When I first started out dieting and exorcising {around 15} a 30 minute walk every morning before catching the bus caused me to lose about five pounds a week. Just dropped right off. Might make a good supplement.
