I’ve been telling Dean that for a long time. He keeps claiming he wants to run a marathon, one day I am sure he will. Neither Dean and I are very active people. These last 3 weeks I’ve done some sort of working out at least 2-3 days a week. Dean went to Ballys with a friend last night to work out. He is excited because this person knows what he’s doing and was able to tell Dean what to do. Now he wants to switch gyms. I dont want to though because I’ve been to our current gym more and to start was a challenge as is. for some reason I think the fitness level of people at the Y is less intimidating then that of those that attend ballys and that’s a big issue for me. Not to mention the kid friendly things at the Y.
I started attending a step aerobic class this morning. Its from 6:30am-7:15. I was exhausted to begin with, I got up and fed the baby around 5:40. I got dressed and headed to the Y. Took a class and for the first time in a while took an uninterupted shower, that was heavenly! I left feeling revitilized and awake, but I also started to have another killer migraine while working out, and it’s coming and going. Once home I found that despite my goal to go early while all of the boys slept, they had been awake. boaz always eats briefly around 5:30 then falls right back to sleep, when I left he was wide awake, I figured it was just another attempt to sway me from going and I didnt give in. I laid him next to Dean and left. Dean told me Caleb woke at 6:30, something new for him but this is day 2 of that so we’re going to have to either go back to letting him stay up later or get used to him being up so early, I prefer the prior. So already this morning I’ve worked out showered and even gotten dinner ready for us and a family that just had a baby. Last night I put stuff to make pulled chicken bbq in the crockpot and let it cook all night. I just finished pulling it apart and added more bbq sauce, it will be done shortly. My day is off to a good start, minus the migraine of course! I’m hoping to get the boy out of the house finally, now that theres no snow or none expected today.
I’m feeling hopeful about my working out, and despite my lack of coordination I managed in class just fine today. The instructor was great and understanding when I fumbled a bit, afterward he was very encouraging. I’m hoping to make Dean go with my on the days I dont have class so we can work out in the weight room, if I can convince him to go with me and not a guy buddy. I’m afraid I wont do it if I have to do it by myself.
Well the boy was tolerant enough to let my write some but now he’s getting demanding, as is the babe so gotta run. I’m hoping this burst of energy isnt related to my high sugar level again this morning and that I’m not going to have a big crash of fatigue as has been the case every day when my sugars finally level out. fun stuff. I am not even doubting anymore that I’ll pass the sugar test, I’m doomed to fail it. Even after working out this moring my fasting sugar was as high as yesterday mornings taken before any exercise. So I’m doomed and depressed about it, but it also is motivating me to get my butt exercising as to avoid needing insulin. Oh fun thoughts for sure. have a good day folks!
