fall into fitness
Summer is almost over and we’re about to start our journey to being able to use the gym. I think this is going to involve going to the gym each day and sitting in the kid’s club (day care) for at least a half hour until my son is comfortable. I’m tempted to just get some fitness equipment in my house. In fact, we sold a treadmill a couple years ago!
But my kid needs socialization, so we’re going to suck it up. Even if it takes weeks! Its not like I’m working out now, anyway, what’s a few times of going to the gym and not working out? No biggie, right? Well, we’re waiting for summer to be over because then all the big kids will be back in school. Then the kid’s club won’t be full of fast and wild 7-10 year olds.
Any motivational words? I could use them. And a box of wine.
BTW - a box of wine is not considered exercise equipment! :-)
A little bit if dark chocolate every day will lift your spirits. But then you have got to work out! Or no more dark chocolate for you…its great motivation to work out trust me on this one.
You should apply for the position of daycare provider at the local gym. That way you get a good workout chasing around the wild 7-10 year olds!
I know this feeling all to well. It’s hard to find time to make it to the gym. When you finally do, something comes up, interrupting your workout.
Here is a good blog that you may find motivational - http://www.workouot-pass.com/blog
Marla Battles, 46 year old mother of two competes on the WNBF Pro Masters Body Building circuit and quite successfully I might add…she has a 1st place finish and several top five finishes in the last few years.
Good luck!
