What does one do when you're interested in a boy?

But... I thought women are not supposed to lift heavy weights?
Exercise == Torture
- Had never been fit in my life.

- But I knew I was out of shape
- Had nothing else to do outside of work and wanted to hang out with my new friends
- Caved in and went along.
