Motivating Spin Class

Well, I finally made it to the gym yesterday !! After a night of no sleep, Jaxon up at least 4 times, and he and Kaden up at 6 am, Yes, I still made it to the spin class with my hubby !! I decided that the excuse of being too tired will always be the case, but I have to do something about this post-baby FAT body of mine !! Jaxon was great in the daycare and Kaden is now old enough to go outside with the older kids. He has been telling mommy that he wanted to go to the gym and run on the treadmill with her. I told him that he would be able to go outside and play with the kids. His response: "Mommy, you go workout with the other mommies and their Booies", and Daddy will work out with the other Daddy's. YES, my son is obsessed with Booies !!

I wasn't sure if I was going to make it through the hour long spin class without passing out, that is just how out of shape I am. But my motivation for the day was a woman in our class. She was an amputee !!! Yes, she was doing a spin class with only one leg. I thought for sure, if she could do the class with one leg, then surely I could make it through. Can you imagine the strength you would need to do the climbing portion out of the saddle, with one leg !! It was truly amazing !! SO, I say thank you to her for being in the class and being my motivation to make it through and not give up !!! Also, it was fun to be able to spend some time with Jeff again, like in the pre-kids phase of our marriage. I hope it is something we can continue to do !! SO thanks honey I had a great time, even if I thought I was going to pass out a couple of times !! :)
