I Took the Plunge!

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.

hehehe...I had signed up before for a cheaper fee that allowed me to work out on T, Th and weekends...so if I missed Tuesday, I couldn't make it up the next day. Nothing like money (and wasting it) that gets ya motivated!). My kids LOVED it!!! And I appreciated the 2 whole hours it gave me...enough time to work out, swim, and get some reading done in the locker room until my time was up.

Too bad we moved too far away to keep going.

Hope it works out for ya. You will definitely feel better!

Love,
Marsha

Good for you for taking the plunge!!!! Exercise is so hard to work into a schedule. I go to curves at 6 am to fit it in!!! You'll stay motivated once you feel better because of exercise, I know I did!! It has been 18 months for me. You can do it! Nice to meet you, I'm Allison
