Strangely Inspired

The other day, on her blog, Sass mentioned a fitness plan. She was a little annoyed at the presumptions that she was pregnant and was ready to get super fit to deter this from happening again. I have had quite a few 'I'm not pregnant' moments myself. The most recent one was as I was sitting at Jonathon's field day at school. I had brought my own pop up chair and was sitting there as Emma Mae ran around making new friends. One of the girls came over and poked my belly and asked if I was having a baby. I said, "No, I just had one. See her?" She said, "She's not a baby." I said, "I think your mommy left you." I'm just kidding. I didn't say that. I just wanted to. She was right. Emma Mae is not a baby. And I shouldn't be blaming my pudgy belly on her another minute. I have actually gained more weight since I had her than the last month I was pregnant with her.

Anyway, this weekend I was out on a walk in an effort to keep up with the Strangley Lush Fitness Plan (SLFP) and lo and behold, I saw this. It's a gym. Not even a mile from my house. So, I walked right up there and I joined. They have a little nursery for the kids and they have great classes. They even have a cycle class, which I may try tomorrow.

Today was my first trip to the gym. Jackson and Madi went with me and they did GREAT in the nursery. I did the elyptical for about 45 min and it said I went 4 miles. How exciting!! I wanted to go over and try the weight machines but I was a little intimidated. But that's okay. I will try them next time. Once I get a little more comfortable.

I got a little sunburned over the weekend but if you look back at the shot before the gym you will see that most of that ain't sunburn!! I'm working hard and getting fit. Can you tell I'm losing weight, already?
