Make sure you are sitting down before you read any further.

I mean it. Sit down. Some of you who know me IRL should probably even lay down before you hear the following news.

I’ve been doing really well with my diet so I decided to take it to the next level.

Exercise. I know. It’s a nasty word but I have to say it. I joined a gym. *GASP!

I’m going this morning for my first workout in I don’t know, 7 years? I’m a little nervous. Someone is supposed to work with me for a little while this morning to show me which machines I should use and for how long. There’s a room off to the side where the kids can play and there is a babysitter in there with them. What I like about this place is that on every cardio machine there is a tv and you can put the channel on the kids’ room so you can keep an eye on the kids while you work out. There is also one monitor in the middle so you can watch while you do other stuff, too.

I’m hoping that knowing the kids can play while I workout will be motivation enough to get me there several times a week. It’s a break for me and they’ll have fun, too.

I’ll let you know how it goes.

EDITED to add:
The guy showing me what to do and how to do it was really nice. The kids did a great job and were the only ones in there at the time. I can’t wait to go back tomorrow.

but when I wake up tomorrow i may feel differently.
