Getting back into shape.

I had no idea just how out of shape I had gotten until I joined a gym this week. Actually, Corey and I both joined a gym. They opened up a new one about 2 minutes from our house and it's open 24 hours a day so I have no excuse for not making time to go.. even when I go back to work and I'm going to school!
But- back to how out of shape I am.. sheesh! I had not worked out in an entire year! Not even a little tiny work out. I broke my ankle a year ago and had to have surgery on it so I obviously couldn't work out for a couple of months due to that... however, I didn't realize that it doesn't take long to lose that buff body you have when you do absolutely nothing. All I've done for the past year is sit around on my butt and eat.. and I have clothes that don't fit anymore to prove it. So, since they opened up the gym so close, Corey and I both decided it was time to do something about our rounded middles and big butts.
The first day working out was embarrassing... no just plain downright SHAMEFUL! But, slowly and surely, I'm getting back into shape.. It's a slow process but I know in the end it will be worth it.. My goal is to lose 10 pounds. That is reasonable enough, I think. I just wonder how long it will take to do it.. Wish me luck! I'm going to need it.
