On Saturday, Sam and I went to the gym. To the gym! I know! It was my first time in a gym in approximately two years, I'm embarassed to say. I've been wanting to gym-ify myself for a while now, but just couldn't get it together. I've lost my pregnancy weight, plus some, and can fit in my pants, but things aren't as um, cohesive, as I'd like. And then there's the issue of the strength to keep up with a strong - physically and in will - toddler.
Part of the issue is the paucity of facilities in the area. And the cost of the ones that are geographically convenient. Well, convenient would be if they were next door, but let's say not inconvenient. Luckily, a gym was thrown in our laps. When Sam was deciding which job to take, he was focusing on the job responsibilities. But we really scored more than we expected. First there was that week-long holiday between Christmas and New Years, two weeks after he started. Then, we found out that he, and his spouse (yay, me), have free privileges at his institution's gym. Step class, here I come.

Posted by: The Princess at January 22, 2007 08:43 PMThat's awesome, Shok. Good for you and Sam! I was really happy in my gym days -- I slept better, ate better, felt better. I hope to do that again someday.
