Saturday, Hubs & I took the kiddos to the Y. We spent 30 minutes on the tread, then took the kiddos swimming. I know Rocky & Rambo love the water, but I wasn't sure how Baby girl would react. She loved it. By the time we were ready to go she had started figuring out that if she waved her arms up & down she could splash. It was the cutest thing.
Hubs is off today & tomorrow, so we hit the Y again this morning. We had a 10a appointment for our fitness center orientation. I learned about the upper body machines & we laid out a starter program to help build a little endurance & tone up. Nothing too strenuous. Followed that up with a mile on the tread & 10 minutes on the elliptical (that was brutal!) and rounded out the morning with some swimming with the kiddos again.
I'm about to head back for a spin class with one of my BFF's. D is a veteran triathlete & really wants me to try one out with her this year. So she's being super supportive & going to this class with me. It might kill me. I don't know. I'll report back later.

Well, I survived the class. It was hard, but not terrible. And as long as I can build up at my own pace, I'll do it again. The only thing I will say about the class... MY BUTT HURTS!! OK, not so much my butt, more like my nether regions (sorry, TMI) ... but bike seats HURT!! I may be walking around like I'm about to drop a 10 lb bowling ball tomorrow. D suggested padded bike shorts, as that's what she wears. She says it helps a bit.
I'm considering a Yoga class in the morning with another friend, J. Hubs has a class in the a.m., but if I can get all 3 kiddos fed, dressed & out the door by 9a, then I'll go. I've never done Yoga either. I'm doing all sorts of new things now. I'm serious about this lifestyle change. I have 3 very important reasons. I want them to remember growing up with a fun, active mom. Not with a lazy mom who never wanted to do anything because she was too tired or too big to do it. Honestly, I'm feeling better already.
