I think I created a Good Monster!!!!

[anniet]

I signed my soon to be dh up for the Y the other day.


He went on Friday without me and spent 3 hours there!!!! He did have to go through about an hour of orientation with a slide show and someone who took him through the nautilus, but then he stayed uhhhh another 2 hours!

Yesterday I had to finish Christmas shopping so I never made it to the Y so I told him I wanted to go this morning. He said "Oh, I'll come with you!" Normally I do a half hour of the elliptical and a half hour of weights---not today. He does the elliptical, shoots basketball, did the weights and stretched. We spent 2 hours there-

I did a half hour of elliptical, a half hour on the treadmill and an hour of weights.

Somebody please tell me this is a good thing.


(By the way, no he's not really overdoing it, he's been very active outdoors for a long time, now it's just moved indoors to the Y)

Annie, I think that is wonderful! It is good for DH and it gives you a buddy to go to the Y with. I sure wish I could get my DH to the gym with me!! Enjoy it!

You did a GREAT thing!!! My poor sweet hubby is too self-conscious to work out in the gym area- he just doesn't know how to use the machines, and for goodness sake won't let a woman (me) show him how to use them, and is too proud to walk around with an instructor....you've got your dh on to something great!!! Now bring him down here and have him work out with my husband for 2 days until he gets the hang of it! Oh and congrats on the almost married!

Annie-I think that it is great that he has joined you there. It will be so helpful and supportive for you, there may be a time when you really don't feel like going and he's going to be the encouraging one. Good for you for having someone to go along with you and not be upset that you are taking the time. Keep up the great work .

Of course it's a good thing!!!!

You will spend more time in the gym, which ain't so bad, and Alan will be piling on the muscle, and that ain't bad AT ALL!!!! hee hee!

I agree, this is a good thing!! It is wonderful that your DH wants to go and be with you there!! What a great story to read!!

 

[AlreadyexcitedGrammy]

Good for both of you - nice to have a buddy at the Y especially one that will get you there when you think you just might skip it and vice versa!

Hooray for you guys - you are getting healthier

How great! I sure wish DH and I (and the kids too for that matter) could go to the Y together like that.
