I’ve been going to Resolution Fitness in the 191 Peachtree Bldg now for a couple of weeks. After my first experience with the workout, I seriously pondered the wisdom of making such a commitment. A 5-week training course to whip me into shape to complete a climb up 52 stories in the name of Lung Disease. After the initial shock to my body wore off, ( 2 days of hot baths and not leaving the house because I walked like I’d been riding a horse for a month) I indeed went to Target and purchased some, shall we say, more appropriate fitness wear.  So now I at least look like a worker-outer.

So after working out the first week, I convinced HK to join me. “Really, it’s not that hard. C’mon! MAN-UP!”

After agreeing (with conditions), he did indeed come with me. Unbeknownst to us, our regular trainer was out, and Thor was our sub. Thor met us with a megaphone, and let me just say Thor makes the “Biggest Loser” trainers look like Pansy-Asses. Although I thought that after a week of challenging workouts I had an “edge”, after 10 minutes of Thor, I was panting and foaming like a rabid wildabeast. Too proud show any sign of weakness, HK hung in like a trooper. The torture  workout continued for an eternity, and by the time I had lost 12 lbs of water weight, we were set free.

The ride home was pretty quiet. Actually, HK didn’t say a word, which was OK, because I didn’t have the strength to talk.

I go to training alone, now.

I have 2 more weeks of this. 2. More. Weeks.

If you happen to be in Downtown Atlanta at lunchtime on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday, look me up. I’ll be the puddle you have to step over to get to your car.
