More Stuff I Love

For the three people that read this blog, you may remember a past post about the things I love. I mostly focused on fall and all the amazing aspects of it. But I need to add something to my list. Some (well, like 2 of you) will call me crazy but, I can't help it! I have fallen in love with my weight lifting class! It's tough, really, it kicks my butt! I think that is why I love it. It's only been 3 weeks and I can already see results. I love it! I'm getting muscle tone in places I didn't even know I had muscles. And, here's the best part, because I have been doing a 20 minute warm up on the cardio equipment, my thighs are already losing some of their rotundness.

On that note, I also love my new MP3 player that my wonderful husband got me for my birthday a couple of weeks ago. I love to have music blasting into my ears as I push through 20 minutes on that darn elliptical machine. Having the music flow directly into my ear holes, I can focus on it instead of the tiredness of my almost rubbery legs.

I love that the gym provides 2 hours of child care for Hannah while I work out. What a blessing! Ah, peaceful, kid-free work out! (Josh is in preschool while I am at the gym, in case you were wondering.)

Oh, I forgot to mention that I love the instructor of the class. She is motivating and so funny. It is really hard to laugh when you are trying to "hover" for one minute and fifteen seconds, but she'll get a giggle out of me almost every time. She knows just what to say to drag one more set of lunges out of me.

I love that I have 3 mornings a week to torture, I mean, do a little something for myself. I love my new weight lifting class. You will be calling me Arnold pretty soon. OK that would look gross and weird. I'll just work on a light tone instead.
