...that I promised dh I would start going to the gym with him. At first it really sounded like a great plan: I'm finished with my semester, dd is still in school, so we'll go straight from dropping her off and work out/walk the treadmill/swim laps/whathaveyou. This is what dh does everyday, but so far I've had a good excuse to not go with him. Now, no more excuses. The beach is 3 weeks away. My butt is flabby. I get winded easily. Our YMCA membership is for our family, so no additional cost. It's a no-brainer, right? Wrong. I don't do mornings. Or treadmills. Or sweat. Or mornings.

Wanna take bets on if I get my lazy arse out the door in the morning or not?

You may as well do it. Because any extra sleep you get by not going to the gym will be fraught with feelings of guilt...

Hahha, Juju

.... I don't do nights! I am an early bird and DH is the night owl. We have a gym membership for DH that only costs $13/month for him and it's an all access gym anywhere-24 hr fitness. So really, a great deal but he hasn't been to the gym since my 1st trimester of my pregnancy with DS. Ummmm, that was over 1 yr ago, but he started a new job and we just haven't felt right taken the baby with his big sis to the "kids' club". The little man is a magnet to us so, hopefully, we can drop him off when he is 18 months and down to 1 nap and "hopefully" less attached. That way, DH can join me in my cycling classes on Tues evenings and Saturdays!

But, for now I just go when I can at night after the kids are tucked in. Since I am not a night owl, it is hard to get motivated but then I just gotta look at my Mommy pooch that I have acquired and it gets my butt moving

I know you'll do it! I am not gonna bet against ya! I am right there cheering for you to wake up, get that adrenaline pumping and have visions of being that Baywatch beach babe you wanna be

You know you wanna do it! Just think about how much better you will feel after you work out! You'll have so much more energy (after a few days) and will feel better about yourself. You'll start to wonder why it took you so long to go in the first place.

Get up, get dressed, eat a piece of fruit, and drive to the gym. :)

So Juju how was it? The good news is that after a few days of doing this you'll get used to it, and after a few weeks of doing it, it will come naturally to you! I know I hate the thought of exercise but love the act itself. Hopefully this will be some bonding time for you and DH too. I'm sure you don't get so much alone time with having a little kiddo around.

It's all hubby's fault we didn't go today.

It's the plan for tomorrow, and there is no backing out!
