Guess what?! We FINALLY heard back from the YMCA about membership! Today we went, filled everything out and we are now officially members! I'm so excited and appreciative that they are discounting the monthly rate to something we can afford while Jay is in school.
So let's get real. I've been making excuses to myself
lots tons these past few
weeks (okay make it for more then a few weeks, more like years). BUT I'd never change the journey. I've been through this journey before and excuse making almost ALWAYS comes with the journey, or at least mine lol. Trust me it'd be a whole lot ton easier to just skip the excuses part of the journey. Along with the hitting the brick walls, going up some tough mountains and falling a few times. I liken a lot of life's journeys to hiking a mountain. It's not (most the time) easy, but the top is always spectacular and worth the rough terrain. I find that sometimes the harder hikes have more beautiful views. To me lots of life journeys are like a hike. The tougher ones have a more rewarding end result. I can't control the terrain of my journey but I can choose to keep going (having encouragement from those you love is very important too). I want YOU reading this blog to know some of the bad/horrible parts of my journey. I want you to know it isn't easy, sometimes can be downright depressing and can take you some dark places emotionally... but the end result and looking back at the trek is a very rewarding life experience. Okay so enough of the metaphors!
Today, since we finally have gym membership, I went to a zumba class! I tried to talk myself out of it a few times but I refused to listen to my excuses and went. :) Overall it went good, it definitely made me realize how out of shape I am but I'm glad I went. It's crazy though since when I was on my weight loss journey after having Calvyn (baby number two) we had a gym membership at the Y and after working out for a month or two then started doing the zumba classes. Definitely felt surreal though, I felt as if I went back in time and was now re-living my past. Anyway I need to get the youngest bubba to bed. I will (sometime this week) measure, weigh and take pictures of myself for my 'before' stats. Night all!
