Trying new things
Today I had the chance to try out a new class. I signed up for a gym (one that has an awesome child care) and I took advantage of going to a class. I thought boot camp sounded like a fun workout and figured it was only 60 minutes anyways. Well, I got the nerve up and went to the camp. It wasn't until after I showed up that I found out that on Wednesdays, the class is 90 minutes. By then I had committed and was mentally prepared to do the class. I had some awesome ladies talking me through the class and giving me encouragement the whole time. It kicked my butt! My arms are so tired, that to shave, I had to prop my arms up on the shower wall!!!
I was not doing well with exercising for the last few months and am excited about my gym membership. I now have no excuses to not exercise, because the child care is included and I can go for up to 3 hours a day. I had been using the reason of me not exercising is Zorn's schedule was crazy and I didn't like to run when it was dark here. Also, Cartr has learned to escape and we were both afraid that if I left the door unlocked, he'd get out of the front door.
So no more excuses! I am excited about the gym and have been really enjoying being sore! As crazy as that sounds, I like that I worked out and hurt. I'm crazy, I know!!
So, do you prefer a gym or working out on your own at home?

Fear of knowing what's coming!!
So I went to the gym today, for the first time since the day I went into labor with B. (He turned 6 in October)! I have decided to join a gym. After a year of being in Las Vegas, I have decided to make the leap! I used to go to the gym 5 days a week, but when I had my son, I had to choose between being a stay at home mom, and a gym membership.
I had been running, but because of my husband's work schedule, I wasn't finding time to get in a run. I couldn't leave my 2 year old while I went running, and wasn't willing to get up at 4 am to go. We came to the conclusion that in order for me to be able to workout, I needed to start going to the gym and with a childcare attached to it. So excited for this!!
Well, I pushed myself so hard (my competitiveness coming through) that I almost threw up. (For me, the sign of a good workout!) I am so tired already, I am afraid of what is coming tomorrow!! Here's to a new lifestyle!
