I had the best workout this morning even though i was only at the gym for 20 minutes. See, I made the dog/kid walk really fast for 30 minutes - hustling to get to the post office as early as possible to mail already late mother’s day cards. There was also the threat of rain giving me a little extra speed in my step plus there was this class at the gym that I haven’t been to since last year that I just remembered. It’s an aerobics/strength building class and is geared for seniors. I used to do it when i was first working out again - to go easy on my back and because i was so out of shape. Well, recently I saw a pregnant  woman in there and last night i remembered the class and thought, hey that’d be fun to get a dancy workout in…so i hustled to get to the gym in time for that as well. Turns out, we all made it at 10:05. I tied the dog up outside, dropped the kiddo at childcare very easily even though he hadn’t been in over a month and then i lept up the 4 flights of stairs to the class.

Yes, they make you climb up 4 flights of stairs just to go work out.

Today, I actually ran it whereas on Wed, for yoga, i was dragging my a$$ up there. Anyway, I popped into the back of the class, got really mixed up doing grapevines the wrong way and i never getting the salsa step she was doing, but i stayed and played. Just for 20 minutes. My heart rate was high enough for the baby, my dog was tied up outside a place he has never been before, and my kiddo has been a little clingy so i wanted to keep it brief. Oh, yes, there was still the impending rainstorm, too, and we had to walk home. So then I ran down the stairs, got the kid, the dog, and the push tricycle and hustled it home in 20 minutes. The rain had started so we hurried to get inside. It was marvelous!!!!

Well, now that i wrote all that i don’t really want to talk about the peanut butter sandwhich backwards. Very quickly (LOL) - i ate an orange for snack after the gym and guzzled more water. For lunch I heated up a frozen Indian veggie-filled meal that i ended up sharing with my son. I was still hungry after that so I decided to eat this little heel of seed bread with p-nut butter. Then, kiddo wanted one so i made more for each of us, then another - so we ended up having more than i needed to. really up to the last piece i was still hungry…

anyway, there it is!

have a great weekend buddies!
