OMG, I am so excited right now I can’t even stand myself.

I joined the local Y today and I plan to go there EVERY day I possibly can. Childwatch is even available on Saturday, which is awesome because Husband always works on Saturdays and some of them are painfully long. There is an indoor pool, a sauna and a hot tub that I can use right this minute. There is an outdoor pool we can use every day this summer.

I may have given my tour guide crazy eyes. Also, I have a vague recollection of screeching “IT’S LIKE CHRISTMAS!!!” when she showed me the sauna.

Although weight loss was not my primary concern … my sanity was … I don’t see how it would be possible for me to NOT reach my weight loss goals between working out regularly and caring for my exhausting family. I also wanted to put off this extra monthly expense as long as possible, but I had a little bit of a meltdown this week that forced me to face that fact that if I don’t do this for myself IMMEDIATELY, I may stop getting out of bed in the morning to take care of anyone. 

I have allowed myself to get burned out. It snuck up on me all of the sudden-like. Like one day I was just overwhelmed and then a little later I was absolutely exhausted and then suddenly I started to despise my family. Sudden-like.

So here we go.

Spinning. Tomorrow. And then … a shower. Oh yes.
