Over The Hump!

I have been going to the gym for a little over 4 weeks. When I first started going to the gym, I wanted to in my mind but my heart wasn't into it. The first time around a year ago when I started at the gym I went for my husband, to support him. This time I went for my mother-in-law, Kathy, to help support her.

Now about 4 weeks later I have finally gotten over the hump. There was a week that my Kathy was sick and wasn't able to make it to the gym with me. Each day I could go (for a class or just to work out) I debated whether to go or stay home.

I talked to another friend who said she was going to run a 5k in May and I decided then that I am going to run the 5k with her. It gave me the motivation to continue that week and I have gotten up to running 2 miles in 30 minutes.

Another plus is my daughter, Aryianna, has been going to the gym with us. She has gone to 3 Zumba classes and ran on the treadmill with me as well. It's been fun to have her join me and she really likes it! I think we found our mother/daughter activity! Now we are trying to work out a weekly schedule. One that allows me and Aryianna to go to the gym.

The best part is how I feel. Just working out makes you feel good! I love that!
