Ok, so I'm sitting here in my new, very comfy pajamas and blogging when I should be doing many other things: like school planning, reading lesson with Molly, menu planning, scheduling....the list goes on and is so big and today I am extremely tired from a terrible night's sleep. I joined another gym... I decided to quit the other one because I just never felt comfortable there. It was a small gym and I always felt like I was in a fishbowl. And I never had anyone to go with.
Anyway, I joined 24 Hour Fitness and am looking forward to getting toned up and dropping the rest of this weight. They have lots of classes, including yoga and ZUMBA! which I have been wanting to try for a while. And the machines! Wow. They also gave Brendan and Jeremy a 1 month pass. They went last night and really enjoyed it. It's nice to have someone to go with, especially my kids! I also have an appointment with a personal trainer on Monday for 1 hour and I am looking forward to that. Of course, I can't pay to have a trainer all the time, but maybe she can give me an idea of what I should be doing.

I think I might like to be a personal trainer someday and help people. And I really think there should be a Christian biggest loser show. Ughhh, I was so excited to watch it this season, but now don't know if I can stomach J.M.... tv sure has changed in all the years since I have actually watched anything. It's really sad.

I read in the paper of a woman who started running just a year ago with Couch to 5k and is now getting ready to run her first marathon on October 10 in Chicago. And she is 52!! So inspiring. My first 5k is fast approaching and I just may run the whole thing, at least I really hope. My dear hubby has become my running partner and coach and it is now very clear to me that I haven't been pushing myself hard enough. He is really good at that and now I run at least 28 minutes of the 35 it takes to run our 3 miles. I still can't believe how he can totally smoke me after running about 6 times now?? Oh well, I am just so thankful for him. What a precious gift from God and it meant so much that it was HIS idea to run with me. Well, I think it must be time to try to get something accomplished today.

Hi Tina, sounds great joining a gym, I would also love to do that, we have a gym run by Christians in my town called Btransformed, they play Christian music for the classes which is wonderful - they have Zumba, and I have a free 2-class pass, so I will have to try that. How do you manage going with all your children? I feel bad leaving hubby with my 3! But I know it would do me good to get some exercise, I feel I am putting on weight too lately, and feel very sluggish and tired. I need some movement!!
You're doing great with your running. :)
