Adding to my GAL, I joined a gym with a buddy this week.

It's good to have someone else to go with to hold me accountable on going and also guide me through a routine as he knows what he's doing. Chest & back the first night, arms (bis & tris) last night, and legs next session...plus some abs worked in. It's been many years since I went to a gym to lift weights. I'm definitely sore, but feel good about it.

Probably should've gotten into this 6 months or a year ago when I was super slim due to my "sitch weight loss" (lost 30lbs; have gained back 10-15) - I'd be ripped right now - but had a lot to deal with and was focusing on the kids. Plus there's no time like the present, right?

I'm probably above average physical condition relative to my age, but it's time to really get in shape. Many on this forum have suggested it to work out the emotions as well, so hoping it helps there too.
