mythtellerI went to the YMCA today to meet with my trainer. We did a quick interview and then he setup a training program for me. It used alot of the machines I'm used to, but he added two new ones to my repertoire. They were fun.
The hardest part about working out is getting to the gym; once I get there, I'm pumped to do my workout. It's leaving the house and getting to the gym that's the tricky part. For this series of Flabio Action Adventures, I'll be focussing on getting to the gym 2 to 3 times a week. I refuse to get on a scale for at least 8 months because the weight results will be misleading and discouraging.
Also, I'm planning on trying the Cosom Hockey thing they've got going at the NDG Y. It's on Tuesday nights and promises to be active and challenging. I usually suck at team sports (mainly because of my myopia), but it doesn't mean I can't enjoy it.
In other news, after seven years of being an only cat, Newton is completely freaked out at having a new brother. Rajura had a kitten she couldn't keep and I fell for him at first sight. So I went by today to pick him up and bring him home to live with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sarahcarotte, Newton, and myself. You can see a picture of him here.
So far, Newton's got the busy tail up and wagging, there's been some yowling and some hissing. He is clearly NOT happy with the new roommate. I'll be keeping Schrödinger ("Dinger" for short) in the bathroom for a day or so to let them get used to each other's scent. Then I'll put Newton in the bathroom and let Schrödinger roam around the house for a bit. THEN I'll let both cats out to interact with each other.
I'm expecting a month of fighting and fur-flying, but I'll be keeping a water bottle handy to break up any feline smackdowns. Any advice people have for getting two cats aclimatised to each other would be appreciated!
