For Christmas this year, Curt and I decided to not really get each other gifts, but to make an effort to streamline our eating well/ weight loss. So we joined the Wild River Fitness Center in town. We started our membership Jan 5thish, and have had fun attending together, apart, classes. I also am trying to eat better, less mountain dew, and lots more water~
But, last Monday, I awoke with a work injury and was unable to my neck to the right. Following a week of rest, meds, chiro and Physical therapy, I can now successfully turn my neck to the right (yipee!). So today, I decided its time to get back to the gym. As much as I wasn't looking forward to it, I actually was.
And I have learned that an empty gym is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. I walked, run, climbed, lifted, and stretched. And it was so amazing. It felt so good to be back. I didn't realize how much I enjoyed it, or missed it for that matter.
And the bonus................?
The shower at the end. ( TMI)
No 1 year old, and no 3 year old outside, or inside the shower. I can wash, shave my legs without discussing it with Red. And to a busy Mom, that is the icing on the cake.
I am not working out to lose weight, but to be healthier. I want be the example for my girls. If I expect them to not drink pop, I need to not drink pop too. They already eat more veggies and fruits daily then I do, but I need to improve that. I want to live to see their graduation, wedding, and babies be born. I HAVE to do this for them. And for me. I deserve this.
As I write this, I do hope that you my family and friends, can help remind me.
And if nothing else, remind me to go for the shower at the end. And the peace :)
