Trying to Be a Gym Rat

I have been mentally trying to get back into going to the gym, but it has been tough. First, we all had a stomach virus that knocked us out for about a week and then J had an upper respiratory infection and I had a sinus infection. But, yesterday we made it! And, it really felt great. But, just as I was finishing my cardio and about to start weights I was summoned by the daycare pager (in case they need you to attend to your kid). That thing scares the crap out of me! It's their new thing so they don't have to come track you down and it feels like - HEY YOU, COME GET YOUR BABY. He is cutting his top left tooth and I think that was bothering him as he was pretty upset and splotchy faced when I got him.

The last time we had made it to the gym, the pager went off. We had gone later than usual that day, during the early afternoon. J was the only child in there besides the daycare ladies' own children. When I went to get him he was sitting in the middle of the room on the floor and the ladies were about 10 feet from him. I can't really blame them as there was an explosion in his diaper that didn't stay in his diaper. That was fun. AND the last time we were there as that was the beginning of our stomach virus.

I love working out and going to the gym. Ideally, I like to do an hour of cardio and 30 minutes of weights and then 5 to 10 minutes stretching. I just don't have that luxury anymore. The daycare is only free for 1.5 hours/day but that's irrelevant as J never seems to last that long. It is really hard for me to get motivated to go knowing my workout is not going to be what I want it to be. My body physically won't respond to only 30 minutes of cardio, it just won't. I will never see the results I want that way.

So we are headed there now, let's see how today goes. I got this awesome Biomega Hoodie from Puma this weekend as a little motivation. I am going to try to link to it so I can practice all that linking bizness.
