Well, I finally decided that I needed something of *my own*.  So, I joined a gym that has on site childcare, and I will also see a personal trainer once a week!!! 

This is a HUGE deal for me.  I am the type of mommy that feels guilty if I take time for a shower let alone a full workout.  But, I NEED to do this for my sanity and health. 

I have gone 4 times since I joined on Wednesday.  And, I have to say that I already feel better mentally.  Just taking that time for myself has been a huge blessing for my family.

Now, my ultimate goal is to get back into my size sixes.   But that will take a little time.

Fortunately, my three kiddos love the Kid Klub at the gym.  So, there is a little less guilt for me. 

Anyway, I am now trying to work all of this *me time* into a workable homeschooling schedule.  I am so used to diving into school first thing in the morning.  But, I really feel better if I do my workout first thing. 

I think that I can make it there and back and get showered by 10:30 each morning.  Then we would do school until lunch and then finish up after lunch.  I hope that they kiddos will be flexible.

I am really excited about all of this.  My husband is still skeptical that I will stay motivated.  But, I think that the membership fees alone will keep me going if nothing else does.
