Yes, I have touched on this topic several times since I've started blogging. It has been a struggle of mine. I desperately needed help in the motivation department. Feeling rotten and lacking energy just wasn't motivation enough.

We joined the YMCA a three weeks ago. Since then, I am actually getting regular exercise. I have found that I am motivated by taking classes. The family has the option of taking the classes with me, or of working out in the machine area, or swimming, or playing basketball. We've all had a great deal of fun with this, and I am feeling good again. Now my goal is to get those aging, flabby muscles of mine back in shape.

This time spent exercising has been good for the whole family, but there is always a catch. I haven't had time to blog. Life is give and take, isn't it? Until we get our schedule figured out and it becomes routine, I fear I will not be spending much time here in blogland. I miss it already, and look forward to my moments posting and commenting. First and formost are my responsibilities as wife, mother, and teacher. Then I get to blog.

Go! Go exercise! last fall I had to tear myself away from blogging...it can get consuming. The Y is great fun. When we lived closer to one, we'd all go swimming...oh, it was wonderful!

Have fun at the Y... Marissa and I had joined curves, but I didn't like to go in the winter. It wasn't that the drive was that bad, but by the time I dug the car out I felt done. Now, we stopped curves and bought a pair of walking poles. We can only do one mile before Marissa's calves burn and I am out of breath... but I am sure we will get the hang of it.
