Dangit, Gym!

Hello!! How is everyone? Things is going well. It has been an amazingly long couple of weeks. Jessica and I just passed our 2 month anniversary, but it honestly feels like a year or so. 2 days ago was my half birthday, that means 28.5 which can be rounded up to 29. =( oh well, more years to come I guess. Jessica and I were looking for things that we can do together so we decided to start going to the gym. She's had a membership for a while so I just added me to hers. We've been 3 times this week and I've gotta say, other than the pain and anguish it has been pretty fun. What bothers me though is that they have like a whole warehouse full of machines to workout on, but what the crap do they all do?? Seriously? How many different machines do you need that simulate a bench press? One, that's right. They've got like 12 and they are all different in some way, how far you lean back the different types of handles etc. but at the end of the day all you are doing is pushing weight away from your chest. I don't get it. But my favorite part is the cardio cinema room! I love it! I've done almost an hour of cardio this week while watching movies. I like it because it's dark in there so I don't have so many distractions, other than watching Jess run on the treadmill infront of me. I haven't tried the treadmills yet mostly because, well, I'm a big dude so I think I'll stick to the lower impact ones. My muscles have been sore all week. It started with my legs, could hardly walk. Now they are doing better but my arms are really sore. So far I'm up like a pound and a half, but that's ok. I can't imagine that it's muscle, but probably swelling in my muscles. Other than the gym we've been pretty busy. Christmas time is a time for getting together apparently, so we've been doing that a lot with different people. But/yet/and it has been fun. We are going to St. George (hopefully ACTUALLY going to St George) for Christmas and I'm marginally excited about that. OH, and guys... if you want some really awesome smelling lotion Vaseline makes some for men that is "fast absorbing" and it smells awesome. Anyways, I guess that's it for now. Hope all is well and that you all have a merry merry christmas this year.
