Shoot...They Got Me.

I've been known to be a gym junkie since I was 16. The weirdest part is I always loved working out at 5:00pm which is "prime time" and super busy...I think mainly because I felt like I wasn't the only one. And of course the people watching was entertaining at times.

And when we moved to our new house here in B'ville last year, I told Jason I was for sure joining World's b/c (a) it was literally about 1.5 miles away and (b) they provided childcare. Fabulous.

But then I found myself not wanting to spend the monthly fees and feeling slightly guilty for putting the kids in childcare 5 days a week while I worked out. Also, we have a perfectly great gym here in our neighborhood. I just have to wait until Jason gets home to go (which can be a challenge during basketball season). Last winter when I couldn't workout with the jogger outside in the day, I would pay $5 to go to World's on the days I couldn't hit our gym.

And since December is Jason's busiest month, I decided to use my free-month pass for this month at World's (I started it at the beginning of this week though!).

The first day was glorious. I did the treadmill for 30 minutes then lifted weights for about 15. No big deal. Didn't feel guilty about the kids being in childcare because it wasn't that long, and they loved it! Lincoln has asked every day this week when we are going to workout - talk about motivation. Ha.

Then today we went slightly earlier than we have been, and I found out at this time EVERY DAY, an instructor takes the 3yo and ups to the aerobics room and does a kid-fit class with them for half an hour! I went over and watched Lincoln in this little class, working out and doing exercises, and thought it was one of the most precious things! They also allowed Noah to go with him today. :) My guilt for leaving them completely left today as I saw how much fun they had in their own workout class and how great it could be for them!

So, World's Gym, your "free-month pass" that I know was geared at me getting to eventually join, is working. I'm usually not a sucker for things like that, but today I kind of got sold. I figure we'll just go at the same time every morning so the boys can work out too.

Oh - and Lincoln has told me 4 times today, "Mom, I had fun working out today!"
