Working out with Steve when he got home last night was fantastic! We both did very well for as out of shape as we both are. Neither one of us has done anything physical, (snorkeling in the Caribbean aside), in the last three months. It's truly disgusting how quickly the human body reverts back to Jabba the Hutt form. We really were created to be extremely active beings. I'd estimate that there were a total of 10 minutes in the 38 minute work out that we just couldn't do. Those 10 minutes were peppered throughout the entire work out. Insanity is interval training, so there are regular 30 second rest breaks. Old, fat people like us need more than 30 seconds of rest to get our heart rates back down. I feel like we did well though, and it was so much better to work with someone else. The one drawback was that Steve was grumpy as all get out for the rest of the night. He was tired. I get that. I'm super grumpy when I'm tired too.
My quandary now is this. Do I put up with Steve being nasty grumpy for a few hours every night in order to have a work out partner? Or do I just suck it up and work out on my own, and let him work out at his preferred time, before work? I guess we will have to discuss it together. I really need to find some friends here! Some friends who don't work all the time, so they can work out with me.
Tonight is going to be interesting. Steve and a few other guys from work are going to help another guy from work move some furniture after work. So he will be home late. Then, there's trick or treating to be done. We are going to have to plan carefully in order to fit Insanity in there somewhere. I have faith in us, though!
