Fitting it in

Exercise that is.

If you read my regularly, you know I'm a bit of a gym rat. 4-5 times a week, religiously. 3 times a week is a bad week for me.

I'm lucky though. I only work part-time, so I go the 2 days a week I don't work, once on the weekends, and once one morning before I go to work. I spin, I kickbox, I do the elliptical, I lift weights (sometimes, I need to do that more.) With all the working out I do, I should be a toothpick.

I'm also lucky because my gym has amazing childcare. Michael started at 6 weeks and he loves going. The thinnest I ever was was on maternity leave because I went to the gym everyday. I could put him in the Kids Klub for 2 hours a day. It was my sanity. And the baby room was fabulous. Now, the toddler room always has a movie on and I have convinced some of my mom friends to join so he has friends that go as well. It's also just part of his day, "okay, we go to gym now."

The thing with exercise is, once you do it often enough, you can't imagine not doing it. But, you stop for a while, and it's impossible to get back into it. (Sound like anything else you know?)
