Things I learned today . . .

 . . .that working out with my boyfriend = crappy workout por moi, and drooling. lots of drooling.

   It's a little funny to me that we have been dating for a little over a year now and have never really worked out together. It's funny, because we both are active people and incorporate exercise into our individual routines. He is a cross fit-er and I like to run, elliptical, climb stairs, and in general be solo (except for yoga of course!) when i break a sweat. He gets a lot from his work outs with cross fit, and has been doing it for years now. It's amazing how many different things they do in his cross fit gym/box and I admire all of that hard work - because I def know its a lot of work. Its just not my cup of tea :) Unfortunately, since moving here, he has had to give up going to cross fit for now since it's so expensive and I am unemployed for now. Responsible spending doesn't seem to go hand-in-hand with and $250+ monthly membership fee. So now we share the same work out space for the first time. I know he misses it, but he doesn't ever say anything so as to not make me feel responsible for his not going. It's a sacrifice that he is making for me, one of the many wonderful things I appreciate about him.
   So anyway, I am on the stair climber, and I glance over at him on the rower and immediately decided 3 things; I love him even more today than I did yesterday (and yesterday was Valentines!), he must always wear a shirt while working out without me, and we can NEVER go to gym together again because I will get no physical benefit from staring like an idiot and drooling all over my amazing, sexy boyfriend.

  1. 1. What a HUGE contrast from the last relationship you had, to have someone actually making sacraficies for you for once, rather than it always being you sacraficing. That's such a gift and it's amazing that you recognize that in him.

    2. Working out with hot boyfriends does = drool. And possibly a fem-bot like overload, which is why I can't work out with Erik. It's for my safety; I may explode from his hotness.

    3. 250+ for CrossFit? Sweet baby jesus, that's ridic. We need to buy him bumper plates for his birthday & Christmas.
