I'm just being frugal. <BR/><BR/>Mr F's work (a college) has a brand new fitness center I think it is $45/month, which is cheap around here, and I know they have childcare (extra). But in the past I have not been a good gym member.. any steps between me and the workout are a problem, and driving, locker rooms, etc are a lot more steps! Right now the baby is at the terrible stranger anxiety age... but I think if I haven't found a way to workout at home more consistently that I'll consider joining. So when I'm still bitching and moaning about this in two months remind me that I said that! ;)<BR/>Hey maybe I'll even catch some New Year's discount or something!Mrs Furioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082932653215907248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970661341243634764.post-38734140697755534072007-10-13T21:21:00.000-04:002007-10-13T21:21:00.000-04:00yes I think the a.m. is clearly better for this ve...<I>yes I think the a.m. is clearly better for this very reason. maybe I'm being difficult and set in my ways</I><BR/><BR/>After years of trying to find the right time to work out, I finally settled on the morning which I've been doing now for nearly 3 years. Morning works for me because I can go after dropping the kids at school and before going to work. Fortunately, I can get to work at 9:30.<BR/><BR/>So anyway, My gym is $31/month and has onsite daycare up to 2 hours included (not sure if they take infants, though). I was just wondering if something like that would work for you?<BR/><BR/>You sound a lot like me - feel great after your exercise, but don't feel like doing it a lot of the time. When I used to exercise at night or at lunch, I had a much harder time of it, because things always come up.michellinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05034726778989565660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970661341243634764.post-6285666730331477792007-10-13T21:00:00.000-04:002007-10-13T21:00:00.000-04:00Oh and thanks for the Kid compliment :)Oh and thanks for the Kid compliment :)Mrs Furioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082932653215907248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970661341243634764.post-90228967165536865292007-10-13T20:58:00.000-04:002007-10-13T20:58:00.000-04:00Ohhh I love the big long comments!Katieo,yes I thi...Ohhh I love the big long comments!<BR/><BR/>Katieo,<BR/>yes I think the a.m. is clearly better for this very reason. maybe I'm being difficult and set in my ways... I am a procrastinator by nature and so may be I just feel it is impossible to figure out a different way. It is definitely possible for me to do mornings on the weekend (I did today) and possibly more likely than at night on these nights in particular. Weekdays... ugghh... it stresses me out even to think about it! My kiddos are on very different sleep schedules so the baby gets up first in the house and I just can't get up earlier since Kid goes to bed pretty late. But that is my mission, either that or coming into millions and hiring a sitter so I can exercise! Because you are 100% right that I am never going to get past all the distractions that come up in the day. never.Mrs Furioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082932653215907248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970661341243634764.post-8015656847477627862007-10-13T18:48:00.000-04:002007-10-13T18:48:00.000-04:00Oy.

I can so relate.<BR/>(and I seriously laughed my butt off at the shower conversation...that EXACT dialogue happens at our house every. single. day. But with superman and spiderman, not My Little Ponies :)<BR/><BR/>I exercised at night after child #2. I look back and don't know how the heck I did it. I think maybe because I had a gym buddy. I don't know what changed with #3 but I just started doing it in the morning, mostly because the baby's last feeding was between 5 and 6 and then I'd just stay awake, knowing he'd be asleep for at LEAST the next hour, and go to the gym while Aaron was still asleep. If I don't get it in the morning, I have little hope of getting it done at all. It's just too crazy around here, I don't have enough of me to go around as it is. This is however, the first time in my LIFE I've been an a.m. exerciser. I think because like you said, less things need to "align" for me to go.<BR/>(Plus I like not having all day to battle it out with myself whether I do it or not. Like when we'd take a n emergency trip to urgent care, or the I've found the baby swimming in the toilet, or pieces of bologna stuck to the wall, etc. You know, all those *moments* of stay-at-home-mom loveliness. The more I had in any given day, the more likely I was to forego the workout.) Morning works better for me now cause it's DONE. Plus I'm on an interval training kick, which really works for me right now and only takes 25 minutes. But, I know not everyone has the luxury to choose when they workout!<BR/><BR/>LOVE LOVE LOVE the pictures though! Way to suck it up! It's so funny how we are often so loathe to working out and yet feel so fantastic as soon as we're done, lol!

Delicious and filled with oil...delicious only to lead to a stomach ache and me wondering if I am sabatoging the gf diet as I've been eating out all the time and trusting that people are listening to me about the celiac. Woke up at 730 and yes it is Saturday and no, I don't like to sleep in on the weekends anymore. I like to go to bed and wake up early. Was planning to go to they gym as I only go once a week when I know that the trainer is waiting for me at 6 in the morning. pitch black outside. And after every workout, I vow to have a new life of fitness where I will also be in the best shape of my life and become an olympic athlete. But every single week, I do not go any additional times. This morning was going to be the exception. But no, I ate two waffles, a rice cake, some hot chocolate, watched the dvr of the top chef reunion, watch E! entertainment news while reading magazines, took a shower (now I can't go to the gym because I'm clean and can't get sweaty once I'm clean...my insane logic) and just stuffed my fat stomach into some old size 6 Banana Republic jeans where the muffin top has forced me to change sweaters 8 times just so no one will see the poofy delight that is my stomach. And this week I wore my new size 8 gap pants every single day and I think that after I wash them, they may be too tight too. I guess what I'm trying to say is oh how I understand your pain. You know I do soul sister.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
