cookiecallaghan's Journal, 11 February 2012

It's been three weeks since my boyfriend and I joined the gym. We have been going 3 times in two of those weeks, 2 times in one of them (to be fair, it was "that time of the month" and surprised I went at all that week). Another couple of weeks and I think it will have become a habit, and start to get easier. It's great to do this together. It took me so long to convince him to go - he really didn't want to and we had a couple of fierce arguments! And now he is more dedicated than I am! It's also bringing out our competitive sides, which is good motivation. I do feel it is a great bonding experience. We both feel better about ourselves for being active and exercising instead of watching telly or playing computer games every night... And as a result our relationship is improving as well.

I would recommend everyone who has a partner to find a type of exercise to do together - whether it's going to the gym or dance classes or running - it's the best thing that we've done in our relationship and it is also SO much easier than if I went off to the gym on my own! Some gym nights I'm tired from work and don't feel like going - then I see my boyfriend put on his gym clothes, and with a sigh I make myself get up and get ready.

My body hasn't changed dramatically yet, but knowimg that it will if I keep at it keeps me going.
