Feeling Stronger!
I have been lifting weights faithfully for about six months now, and all along I've been feeling myself growing stronger, and best of all I haven't sunk into my typical depressions! Last night, my husband, who loves to tickle, was wrestling with me, trying to make me giggle, and he remarked "You ARE getting stronger!" And I could tell that it was easier to fend him off. He's always been very strong in comparison to me, but I started to realize that he doesn't get much exercise at all, outside of lugging things intermittently at work (it's mostly a desk job).
I must admit, I'm not ready to start encouraging him to get into better shape (he needs to lose 40-50 pounds) until I'm in better shape myself! In fact, right now, we're close to the same weight, and while it's certainly not a race, I realize that it is so much more of a struggle for me than it will be for him, and I'm afraid if he starts on a fitness program he'll easily surpass me and it will discourage me ... Am I crazy to feel this way?!!
