Back in the saddle again.........

I did it!! After about 3 and a half months of not working out, I went back to the gym today! WOOHOO!
I had just gotten off track with working out...it started with a couple back to back vacations...then I took over the worship ministry...then the holidays hit and before I knew it I was totally out of the routine of going!
I was so nervous about that first day back, I've picked up a couple extra pounds and gotten a little out of shape. :) So, I was happily surprised at how easily it all came back to me! I had also forgot how GREAT you feel after a workout. I was nervous to get back into it cause I thought I am just too busy now with ministry and then with being mommy and wife too...I just didn't think I had the time. But, I forgot that after a workout you feel SO energized and refreshed that you are actually much more productive and have way more energy! So, I am excited to get back in the groove.
One BIG thing that has helped me get back into it is that I have a new workout buddy!!!! Amelia!!! Yeah! I have to thank her... because without her asking me to meet her I probably would have never gone back! :) It helps so much when there is someone counting on you to be there. It also helps your workout go twice as fast when you have someone to chat with. Thank you Amelia!! :) I'm excited!

On another very exciting note....John and I booked a trip to DISNEYLAND last night!!!! I think we are even more excited then the boys!! :) Although it's all Johnny has been talking about. He tells anyone who will listen, "I go see Mickey Mouse!" Whenever a Disneyland commerical comes on he says "I go there!". I LOVE Disneyland so much...but even more then that I love seeing pure joy on my children's faces...I can't wait!!!!
We got a incredible deal that we just couldn't resist...you can still get it right now. Both our boys fly for free, ride the shuttle from the airport for free, and eat for 99 cents at our hotel!! We also got a free night stay at our hotel AND everyone pays the kid price for Disneyland park hopper tickets! So, if you only have 2 kids..it's pretty much like just paying for 2 adults to go and yet you can take your whole family!! We are going in May before it gets too hot and too crowded. :)
I am SOOOOOO excited!

Yeah Disneyland!!! You will have such a blast! Good job on working out! I haven't been as diligent either lately. I think I might start training for a 1/2 marathon again though - no cheating then!

I am really enjoying working out with you. I never realized how much it helps to have a buddy. And we are getting to know each other better. Thank you for putting up with my laziness so far, it will get better. See you next week.
