In Fitness and In Health

My husband and I started working out together about six weeks ago. It's a type of workout that not all people probably like, but definitely is a good and effective one. We are both dedicated and we promised we'll finish the whole thing together. (I'm not going to disclose what type of exercise we're doing because I am not here to advertise for that or something.)

Anyway, my husband already leads PT at work, so pretty much, he does two to three workouts a day. Two at work, and he always makes sure we get to workout together when he gets home. It's our other way of spending time together. We get to have fun and at the same time, we're doing something to keep us fit and healthy.

I do look up to him when it comes to stuff like this because he really is a workout junkie, and he does push me through all of it every time. Believe me, our workout is crazy and if you don't have that motivation to achieve your goal, you won't make it. I have almost wanted to quit a couple of times, but because I had him to help me through, I made it - and I'm still on it!

We're like three weeks away from getting the whole thing done, and I must say, I have lost a lot of baby weight (fat) that I gained from my pregnancies. And believe it or not, my clothes that I wore before I got pregnant, fit me again! I'm glad I didn't go crazy on wanting to buy new clothes after giving birth. I think that decision motivated me even more to really get back into my pre-pregnancy size, or even more fit. I have never felt so much better in my life as far as being fit and staying healthy like I do now.

I cannot thank my husband enough for the support and the motivation that he never fails to give me! In fitness and in health, we work as a team because we share common goals - stay healthy and strong, and be good example to our little ones.

I love working out with him and, though we get to do it late because of his work, I still wouldn't want it any other way. As long as we get to workout together, it doesn't matter if we end up finishing at midnight, we'd still go for it. Sore or not, we got to push through. And I must say, everything we've done in the past 6 weeks is paying off. Definitely worth the saying, "NO PAIN, NO GAIN!".
