One Day At A Time


So, today is December 26, 2013. It's the day after Christmas, otherwise known as Boxing Day. I've already taken the tree down and put it away for another year. I'm going to leave the outdoor decorations up until this weekend and will take them down then.

The new year is right around the corner. Every new year many of us make a resolution to lose weight. This year, my resolution is to get healthy. Of course, weight loss will be part of that but this journey is much more than just a number on the scale. I want to keep up with my kids. I want to be able to run around with them and ride roller coasters at amusement parks with them. I don't want to be the mom who sits on the sidelines and does nothing. I've been "that mom" far too long.

Today my husband and I joined Atlanta Fitness in Newnan. We were members there a couple of years ago and cancelled when we thought we'd be moving out of state. The move never took place so we joined the gym once again. They are pretty cool. Price-wise they are the best around for the amenities you get. There are two locations in our area. One's an express club that has machines and is open 24 hours. The other has child care, a pool, and fitness classes in addition to the machines and weights. So for $29 a month you get access to both. Child care is $10 a month and the child can stay for 2 hours at a time. It's very reasonably priced.

I'm going now to take my new puppy to the vet to get her stitches out from being spayed last week. then I'll bring her home and I think I may go hit the pool at the gym for a while before I have to go pick up my daughter from day care. Then we can take the dogs for a walk and she can ride her new bike!

The difficult part is going to be figuring out how to fit the gym into my already hectic and crazy schedule. It can be done. I just have to plan things out better going forward.
