My goal.... Michelle Obama's Ams... or as close as I can get....

If I work out tomorrow morning (which is becoming somewhat unlikely as it is not 12:30 a.m.) I will have worked out four times this week. I'd love to keep this up, realistically I will probably be doing good if I get there three times. The first two days were easy, I did a Step Class, which was not too difficult (with an HILARIOUSLY funny instructor, who made the workout damn entertaining) then a Weights Class, still feeling good, cocky even... I was feeling no ill effects at ALL. Then I woke up this morning and felt it... stiff, achey, sore.... On a positive note, this did prove to me that I was actually achieving something for all the inconvenience of getting TO the gym! Today I did Yoga (which was probably a good thing... it was physically demanding but I also got to really stretch out my tightened (not in a good way) muscles. Tomorrow there is a Spinning Class which I've always wanted to try. (Where do I get a gel seat, Nicole???)

I can now go to the U on Monday and tell them that though I may not have been working out for long, I will definitely be continuing.

YMCA

I think I'm stiff and sore already. Tomorrow I have committed to working out at the local YMCA. It's not a lovely modern Y like the one near where we used to live, but they have a decent schedule of classes AND daycare so I have run out of excuses and WILL work out tomorrow morning. It will take me at least two weeks to feel like I like it AND for my brain to be able to coordinate with the rest of my body to use muscle groups that have been all too happy to be unused in over a year. Bay was with me when I signed up and wanted to go into the daycare room right away. I've never left her anywhere by herself before but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she'll like it there. I don't have to worry about that for a while though because while the boys are home I'm taking advantage of them and the earliest classes and Bay may very still be asleep when I get home. Until the remodel is underway she sleeps in the same room as Gene (and Drake has taken to sleeping in there too) so if she does wake up, there's no way they won't all wake up too.) She's pretty noisy in the morning.

Where the hell are my workout shoes? Crap.
