day three

so - last night I was exhausted. My husband wanted me to skip working out today. Not that he isn't supportive, but he feels that sleep is just as important as working out. I am scared to miss a day - I am on a roll! I haven't been this motivated in three years at least. So I made a compromise with him, and myself. I had to take today off from school (I work at a private school, my kids go to public school, and it is their spring break. Today was my day to stay home with them), so I figured that I would sleep in and go to the gym later in the morning.

The good news is that I made it! Bad news is that it was a nightmare getting there. My boys did not want to go to the child care room at all. It was very small, and filled with little children. Of course my six and seven year old are way too cool to hang out with two year olds, so they were very pouty when I left them!

It was a good workout. I will go again tomorrow morning, before school, and then probably take the weekend off. I have a goal of going to the gym 25 days a month (I pay $25/month, and I want each day to work out to one dollar.) But since I only joined on the 21, I am going to try to go seven times.

I have to give myself props for something today. I took the boys, I'll call them Holden and Scout, to the movies. To my credit, I let them get popcorn, but I just got Skittles and a diet coke. I did have some handfuls of Holden's popcorn, but it didn't have butter on it. The best part is, I felt satisfied. I didn't feel that nasty, bloated feeling afterward! Yea me!

Til tomorrow -
Mummy Q.

ps...did you know that an apple is more effective about waking you up in the morning than coffee?!!
