Going to the gym

As I put in my last blog my husband sold his little beater car and we are now a one car family. Unfortunatley for me that means my normal gym routine is out the door. I would have left my 11am this morning to go to the gym, dropped the bug and day care and had 2 wonderful hours to get out the energy, frustration, stress, and yucky sickness I've had for the last 4 days. Now I have to come up with a new plan. I thought about throwing Jaden in the stroller and walking the probably 2 miles to the gym, but by the time I get there that will have been a workout not to mention I would have to walk all the way back completely up hill which again is another workout on its own and I'm affriad I would be over doing it. So I guess I'll have to run to the gym the minute Billy gets home from work so then he can go after me. We have been going together which is awesome and I suppose on weeknights we can still do that. I'm sure it will all work itself out. I do have to say I am extremely proud of my husband. He for at least as long as I have known him only ever wanted to lift weights at the gym, but because he has to lose weight to join the army and has to run a mile in under 9 min he is really started focusing more on the cardio side of his workout. I have always been more of a cardio person when I worked out. Unfortunatley for me for many years I did nothing and became very sedentary. Thats how I gained 110 lbs in 9 years. It took me going to a playground with buggy and not being able to go down a slide to realize I have a big problem. Since then I have cute out the crap food and I am at the gym at least 5 days a week for no less than an hour. I love the crossramp and the eliptical trainer and try and switch out both when I am working out. I am determined this is the year I lose the weight and I've got a good start at it. I don't want my daughter thinking its ok to just sit around eating junk and watching TV.
