Why do you like having a workout partner? What are the benefits?
Finding the right workout partner is crucial! I've had ones in the past where nothing gets done and they aren't serious and that affects me!

Where do you mainly workout?
Gym
Why? What are the pros and cons of working out there?
The access to many different types of equipment. Plus, it keeps me motivated. Sometimes I just can't get it done. I need to be able to hold myself accountable, but I struggle with it.

What do you think about people who "grunt" loudly while working out? Do you do it?
I had a really great session with my trainer today. I've been having some second thoughts about her, because before I felt like maybe she wasn't emotionally supportive enough, but we had a good talk today and I think I realized, that I have to be the one supporting myself. No one else is...
I just wanted to drop by and wish you all the best. You are on your way and I believe that with your continued determination you will achieve all your fitness goals. I look forward to watching your continuing progress. Stay strong, focused and determined.
Doing good..... very good. Living the Jakers dream. LOL! I just work all the time, hit the gym as much as possible and hang with my kindo and friends. Glad to hear you are still doing good. See you around :)
Thank you for the friendship invite Manda, I appreciate it. I wanted you to know that if you included a comment I wasn't able to read it as it had scrolled off the page. Best wishes for much success with your training. Please feel free to drop by anytime, I enjoy getting to know my new friends :) I see you work for bodybuilding.com - that's wonderful~ Jen
