Remember This? Giving it Another Try!

Back in December, I was inspired to start working out.  I’d lost 30 lbs over the year and it was time to tone.  I got it in my head that I’d start by walking to the beach and back with the 2 little ones in my Phil and Ted’s (LOVE that stroller and could go on and on about it, but shouldn’t get unfocused with the topic at hand!).  I did it!…..once!  Then I did a bunch of lamenting and excuse-making.  But now, NOW I’m jumping in! I made sure all was up-to-date with my YMCA membership, I laid out the calendar and the class schedules and I made a plan.  I’ve even gotten the kids involved and the older ones can workout as well.  We all love being active and always feel so much better when we are. So, this week, I started by taking a class that had me hobbling around for 3 days after. Really, it kicked me in the rear, HARD! But I went back.  I opted for the water for the rest of the week, to try to ease the effects of using muscles I had completely forgotten about.  I’ve felt great (although a little tired) and being in the water has even got me looking tan.  Whoo Hoo! Now to keep it up!  There’s really no reason not to! I pay for the membership every month and it includes child care (ok, I’ve been known to actually GO to the Y, put the kiddos in the child care and do paperwork) so now it’s time to use it. 

A little cheering on might just go a long way (hinting shamelessly).

Have a great, summer day!
