Exercise

So I'm coming to terms with the final 3o pounds of baby weight and my answer is--SEIGE--NO WAY!! And, so, I joined the YMCA today. It's around the corner from Nicky's "new" school (Isabel Patterson at CSULB--and he starts next week so I don't have much to say yet except that I have a crush on the Assistant Director who is AWESOME) There's no spa, mints in the bathroom, or fresh hot towels...but it feels good there and the gym looks out over the pool (or CNN, your choice) If anyone goes there or wants to, JOIN!! There's a Kid's Club with energetic college students who showed me actual science and art activities they program, and they were super sweet/wholesomeesque. Feels much different than 24 hour's child world. I plan to be there Monday and Friday afternoons--like 4:00. And there's weekend rec swim for the kids. Anyone want to workout with me?

Does anyone go 24 hours?

I'm on a roll! Cleaned the house, finished the laundry (well, almost), cooked a real dinner, set up my excursion calendar for the summer and even posted several comments on this here blog! When I get like this, Scott likes to tease, "I'm glad you took your meth today." LOL!

My drugs of the week are REST and EXERCISE! I can't believe it! I'm actually going to the gym again! I didn't realize that 24-hour fitness at Lakewood Mall (note the title of this post) has an exercise program 4 days a week (Monday-Thursday) that begin at 5:30 am! I've been in pain wondering how in the world I would get out to get a real work out without kids in tow (it's a little trickier and pricier with three). It is forcing me to get to bed by 11:00, though, a good change, really--just can't do much earlier than that!

So if you're in the same boat, belong to this gym (or care to join), and can get out at that hour, it sure helps to have an exercise buddy--Abbieeeee?
