I {heart} my gym


The last couple of months I have not been doing well keeping up with my fitness regimen. I've been trying to get into a regular fitness routine, including cardio, yoga, and strength training.
The truth is - I'm getting stuck in a trap of bad weather and not wanting to get up in the morning. Naptimes and after bedtimes I've always got other things going on - or am just plain tired.

Lots of people at church have been talking about one of the gyms in our area - so I've asked a few about it. Turns out - we get a discount! So last week after considering it several times a day - I went and signed up! (I had to pay extra to be able to use the childcare room but what other option do I really have?)
It has been awesome! I feel SO good for doing regular exercise and I LOVE the diffrent classes available to me! I've tried their step class and yoga and went to my first Spin class. It was very HARD. If you like to sweat and burn calories spin class is for you. I thought I wouldn't be able to move my legs in the next two days. Shockingly - I never got too sore. I guess I need to work harder next time -ugh!
The one problem I'm having is Miriam doesn't want to go to the childcare center. We've hung out there and they have toys and a TV and a "big toy" - which I thought she'd love. The girls that work there are really nice. I'm not sure if she's just upset that I don't stay with her??
Well now we're on vacation and I've got a travel pass but haven't made it to the gym yet. Any thoughts on how to make the childcare transition go a little easier. I've got a whole week to think about it.
