I finally joined a gym. I have been wanting (ok, perhaps a better term is NEEDING) to do this for quite some time, but just in the last few weeks I have been actually wanting to do it.
I have been stuck at about 10 pounds over where I want to be ever since I had Miley, and it seemed like no matter what I did, I couldn't lose it. Now our apartment has a small little gym, but I always had an excuse to not work out...I don't like to go at night, I can't go during the day with Miley, etc, etc.
Well, no more excuses! My gym (Lifetime Fitness) has a child care area that you only pay an extra 5 dollars a month for, and I can leave Miley there anytime for up to 2 hours at a time. So far I have gone yesterday and today (we just got the membership on Wednesday night), and not only do I feel better, but Miley loves going to the child care, and I love that she gets to get out and play (especially now that the weather is turning cold!).
So here's to hoping I keep it up...pretty sure I will, since now I am held accountable to my hubby who is paying for it. :)
Oh and you Minnesota girls...join up and take a class with me...kickboxing anyone?? You know you want to... :)

Awesome! I can't join a gym or I will just waste the money. I know, I've done it before so good job on setting that goal and good luck!
I've loved having my Lifetime membership. Some months I don't use it as much as I should but it's such a nice break to have a little bit of me time. (I have even gone and sat in the hot tub for like 10 minutes, taken a shower and then read a book. use that child care!)
I need to get back into doing kickboxing. I was doing it weekly for quite some time and then got off the groove and then got pregnant and had 1st trimester ails. Anyway, I could totally do kickboxing with you.
Good job Wend, I am proud of you! Keep it up and you will lose that 10 lbs. in no time. And take advantage of that cheap childcare!
Good for you!!! I totally know what you mean about those last few pounds that seem to hold on after having a baby. And we had BIG babies, so I blame it on that. :) Our skin had to stretch farther, right? We have a small gym for our apartments and right now Dan and I have been taking advantage of it. So here's to you and me trying to lose a little weight and sticking to it. I will try and motivate you if you do the same for me. :) Wish I lived close by so we could go together. I am sure Miley and Alayna would love playing together.
Good for you Wendy! And it's so nice that they have a child care area, too. Sounds great!
Okay, so I was thinking I could hold out on the gym pass till November but with the way the weather's going I think I might have to join sooner than I thought! This rain is not making me happy! I'm so excited for you though and can't wait till we can go together!
I wish I lived closer so I could go with you! I need to call you back. I have the cell phone today. I want to hear all about it.
