It was perfectly evident that the stars were aligned against me yesterday. I got the kids up and going like I wanted to. Got packed and everything ready then went out to the truck and it wouldn't start. Normally this would have sent me into a rage and especially because it was my 4 year old who left the door open over night, but I took a deep breath and called my hubby and then my brother and 45 minutes later we were on the road!
#NOEXCUSES
The gym membership needed to be "turned on" and so that took a little extra minute, but everything else turned out to run smoothly...except that moment where I almost ate it on the treadmill and that other moment when I almost slipped on the workout mat...but who's counting...right???
This summer's running plan and workout plan are something that I want to do, I need to do and you know what? Yesterday...when the kids were playing at the gym daycare, for the first time in MONTHS I felt at peace. I know that sounds crazy, but it was like the weight that's been on my shoulders and chest disappeared in that one hour and a half workout session!
I went to check on the kids after about an hour and when I saw that they were playing nicely, I went and sat in the hallway on the other side of the gym and had some ME time. It was amazing...and you know what? When I came back to get the kids...I felt LUCKY to be picking them up and spending more time with them instead of feeling that slight dread of having to "deal with them" for a few hours.
All in all, it started out rough, but ended amazing...I can't wait to get back over there today and do it all over again!
