Day Two: Finding Support Where I Didn't Know I Had It

I have to say I was shocked to see how much support I received from everyone. I didn't think anyone would give me the time of day, let alone make comments and come out of the woodwork with encouragement and similar stories and struggles. I am grateful to all those who reached out. 

That was all sappy and about all I can handle so let me move on to the other wonderful piece of support I got from my husband today. I asked for a membership to 24 Hour Fitness for Christmas (and got it) and was very excited about my new home. I really like working out with buff, pretty people because it makes me want to be one. It has been great getting away from the baby for an hour (if I push it any longer I became the a-hole who gets called to Kids Club to pick up the screaming child making every ones life harder). I find myself trying to fit in workouts I don't have scheduled just to have a minute or 60 to myself. 

Anyway, I'm rambling, the reason I brought up the hubby wasn't because of the gym membership. I brought him up because today he left home early this morning so that he could come home an hour earlier (with his inventories to figure out mind you) so that I could go to a trampoline aerobics class at Sky Zone in Rocklin. Putting an inconvenience on yourself to help someone else reach a goal that may or may not be possible is kind of a big deal. So thank you to Benny for giving me the chance to try a new physical activity and thank you Paul Martins staff for allowing him to leave. Even if you called all night asking him questions, I never got called to come home to take baby duty back so he could go back to the restaurant. So thank you all, especially Benny who will hopefully make this a re-occurring Wednesday night thing. Wink Wink. 

And for anyone interested in trying a new class or activity look into trampoline classes. Even though you risk the chance of falling (as I did today), its really fun!

  1. That is so great. Congrats. Also... you are really inspiring me... not only to get the weight off and join you on your journey but to possible blog my experience too. I think it would help and be therapeutic on days that are a struggle. Keep up the great work and for being such an inspiration.
    looking forward to your next post.
