Back to School Workout
Certainly everyone knows that January 2 at any health club or gym is going to be busy. The first of the new year is the perfect time to lie to yourself that you’re going to work out every day and get in shape.
But surprise surprise the other busy day at the health club or gym is the first day of school! Right after the bus picks up the elementary school kids your chance of finding a treadmill is about as good as finding a pair of jeans that fit. A quick survey of people waiting in line for the elliptical machine reveals that most moms and dads decided as soon as the kids went back to school they’d start working out/walking/getting drunk at 11am. (To be honest I’m the only one who’d like to get drunk before lunch.. so that’s your margin of error.)
Where we live today is the second day the kids are back in school. Greta and I are going to our first Yoga class together. (Stay tuned for a report on that.) We’ve both committed to having a six pack before teacher conferences roll around. Or maybe we talked about drinking a six pack before we go to teacher conferences. I forget.
Either way.. hi there.. welcome to the health club. Did you pack your kid’s lunch or are they buying? Yeah, Mrs. Crabapple is a tough teacher. Uh, could you hurry up I need to get on that treadmill before car pool.
Has anyone else made that back to school workout commitment?
I think reading your post works as daily built in birth control for me. One day I assume the fear of having kids will be outweighed by the strong desire to have children. No matter what, you guys better still be blogging by then (which means at least 2-3 years) to help me through!!!

We hope to be blogging and have killer abs in 2 to 3 years. And of course biology will win out and you’ll be a great mother. And we’ll be the old aunties here to help you through it girl!

I just started a diet – pretty much last week – too. I had a baby 8 weeks ago and was hoping to coast off that into a smaller size. Making brownies with my older two girls got in the way of that plan.
Oh, I’m on the “eat less” diet by the way. I’m also exercising a bit more. We’ll see if common sense works this time. As opposed to everything else I’ve ever done to lose weight.

I did, I did! I made the commitment that when I started working days (this is my second week), that I was going to get up and walk early in the morning, before the kids got up. I did it..one day. And then we’ve had these monsoon storms and it’s been God-awful sticky and gross outside, even at 6am. I mean, even before the sun is up in AZ, it’s too hot to walk outside. But I swear, when it cools off in the mornings, I’m totally going to start walking. Really.

Oh, and just to clarify…you’re totally not the only one who thinks about getting drunk before noon. Just saying.

My kids don’t go to school, and getting drunk in the am
sounds like a grand idea.
And there’s a homeschoolers joke that goes, “I am not
talking to myself, I am having a parent teacher conference.”
I think a six pack might make that more fun!

My gym is full of mommies. And they are all still skinnier than I am. I hate them.
God is not a limited individual who sits alone up in the clouds on a golden throne. God is pure Consciousness that dwells within everything. Understanding this truth, learn to accept and love everyone equally.
