So, I have to share, I had everything going against me working out today. I stayed up late, the kid got up early, rain (so no running outside) our workout area in the garage isn’t very baby friendly so i thought, HEY! I’ll try THE GYM! (gasp! I know I know.. the. gym.) The trouble is, I’ve NEVER taken LB to the gym. I was scared to death to drop her off, thus our membership has gone unused for a year and a half. Also, the gym is thirty minutes away (long story) but it’s not very “user” friendly.
Anyway, all this struggle this morning and I just about gave up until I read your comments and I kid you not, Leanne’s comment totally got my butt in gear. I mean, she thought I worked out! Y’all knew I was going to and what would I say if I didn’t? We all have excuses and there are people out there jumping the excuse hurdle like the animals that you are. So guess what I did? I WENT TO THE GYM! That’s right, I took the cranky baby, the thirty minutes, the time to sign her in, get her set up and run on the treadmill. It was splendid.
I believe I’ll be doing that twice a week. It’s just so worth it.

WAY TO GO! That is awesome. I probably wouldn’t have if I had to drive 30 minutes to the gym. That is why it is good that it is only 3 minutes for me. I am proud of you. WTG!

GOOD! I’m so glad you did it, despite all of the “reasons not to”! It is such an awesome feeling to have that time to exercise, I always find myself using the time to think about how good it feels even to have just 30 minutes of “me” time, even if it is hard work. It’s worth it to be able to think about whatever you want to think about, isn’t it?

That was one of the reasons I hesitated joining a gym again–the babysitting. I am so proud of yout for doing it! It is worth it

Funny, isn’t it, how we can find a million excises not to exercise. I was doing that too. With the start of 2006 I knew I had to just do it and shut up with the excuses!
So good for you! It’s not easy, but I have a feeling it’ll be worth it! :good:

Thanks, y’all. It IS really hard to drop her off, Running2Ks, I know what you mean. But I’m thrilled that it’s such a good program. Hopefully I’ll be able to do that two days a week.
Thanks for all the support, y’all.
