Joined the Gym

I have joined a gym for the next month. I received a free membership after having Mr. Luke and decide I better use it now since our time here is limited. Sanford Wellness Center has a excellent gym with many choices along with a great daycare and children's fitness program for Ella.

I have gone three days so far, only skipped Wednesday, we plan to go tomorrow. It has worked out well to go on the days (mornings) Ella is in preschool. I can workout for a hour plus, then take my time getting ready and then I pick up Luke, who is loved on by several people working in the daycare and then head out to get Ella. And the best part, Luke sleeps the majority of the way to the gym and home.

I have a tendency to people watch while I work out, sometime there is a class taking place and I see the exercises they are conducting, or see guys bench pressing 200 plus pounds, I smile at them and then go over an pick up my 10 pound dumb bells with pride!!!

Anyway, I am hoping to go at least 4 times a week this month and depending on where we are with the house and moving, I might pay for a one month membership for November. It has given me the drive to find a wellness center or gym similar to this in St. Louis area when we move for me to get involved in. Granted we have a super nice treadmill, but I don't have someone to watch the kids while I walk for a hour each morning and then take a shower and get dressed with no interruptions!

So I am hoping to find something similar for me and the kids, plus it is good for Ella and Luke to get out and be around other kids and for Luke to be held and cared for ( a short time) by someone other than Dad and Mom. And it gives me some "me time," best of all worlds and maybe Kyle will get a skinny, trim wife again!!!!
