Day Two - Getting back in the swing of things...

So the past two days I missed the gym due to sick kiddos and I was finally able to get back today. It wasn't as tough as I thought it would be. I think the major part about weight loss/working out/dieting is that it is all this mental game.

I could have easily convinced myself to stay in bed and get an extra half hour of sleep, but I dragged my lazy behind out of bed at 7:45 and got my gym clothes on, a bottle made, a sippy cup filled up, cereal poured and started waking the girls up.

We made it to the gym a little after 9 and I took a Zumba class. Now normally, Zumba is one of my favorite parts about the gym. It all had to do with the instructor Cathy. Sadly Cathy was not there today. Now I heard that she will be moving, but I'm not sure if she's already gone or if she is just off for spring break like the rest of the state but I definitely missed her today.

The instructor I had in today's class was just, well, boring. She had about a fourth of the energy that my original teacher has. That really affected me more than I thought it would. I think this is going to encourage me to switch up my routine a little and try new classes and new instructors.

After the gym, I took the girls with me to Sam's to pick up some much needed items. I've been putting the Sam's excursion off for a while now because it's a pain to do solo. Especially since baby Piper is too big for the carrying car seat and it is so difficult to push a stroller and a shopping cart. So I strapped Piper to my chest in her carrier and I put Valen in the cart.

Needless to say, a huge glass jar of salsa got broken, we accidentally stole a book (thanks to my two year old who has sticky fingers, and yes I plan on returning it), and we lost Piper's pacifier and of course I didn't take my purse in that had a spare. It was just as much if not more of a workout than my hour spent in the gym.

Hopefully tomorrow I can try out Body Pump. I've been scared of that class since I joined the gym, but I think after about four weeks, I'm ready to try. Wish me luck!
