I tried, I really did
I really tried to find an excuse not to go to the gym today. I’ve been a bit lazy about laundry the past week so I knew I didn’t have any workout pants fit to wear in public. Well, I didn’t think I had any. A couple of months ago I bought some that had pockets in them, but they were tight. Tight to the point I wasn’t sure I wanted to try using some of the weight machines while wearing them. I figured I’d try them on, see that they were still too tight and, presto, there was my excuse. Yeah, didn’t happen. They are by no means falling off me, but I wasn’t too worried about them splitting open. So, the kids and I went to the gym.
My son typically cries from when we get to the gym parking lot until I’ve been gone about 2 mintues, but today all he did was say, “I don’t want to help with babies.” (They’ve calmed him down before by letting him “help” with the babies which means he needs to be quiet.) He was very stoic going into Child Watch, but he took off jacket and followed his sister into the enclosed area. He didn’t cry at all in the nearly 90 minutes he was there.
I got home and made burritos - you know, the frozen, really high in fat, low in nutrition kind. :P Not really. I did make burritos, but they had fat free beans, tons of veggies, a little low fat sour cream and a little cheddar cheese. My kids call them salad burritos. For something sweet I had a 140 calorie, low fat mousse instead of the ice cream the kids were having.
Well, I still have 25 minutes of cardio to do today, and some laundry to do, so I’m going to get off my butt and away from the computer.
Have a good day everyone.
Great job on working out! Before long those pants will be loose!
I am glad you made it to the gym Diane. Even better that your son didn’t flip out. Mine use to do the same thing but I guess the more they go, the more use to it they get. Now, no more trying to find excuses. You are doing great!
Oh, I wanted to add that I wasn’t looking for an excuse to not exercise, just to not exercise at the gym.
Good for you for getting to the gym
and congrats on the pants fitting
It must have helped a lot that your son wasn’t upset today. I bet he even had fun.
Awesome job
Lori
That is what I thought Diane. I sometimes don’t want to go to the gym. I know what ya mean!
Glad you made it to the gym! Way to go! Nice feeling when those pants fit huh! Burritos must be in the air we had them too…as fat free as possible for me too! Have a good day!
