Working out the body
Here's to another episode of happily ever hobbies and this one is "happily" for sure. So as many of you know, I have started a gym routine again, as you may know from blogs, Facebook, YouTube videos. First time in my life ever in the history of ever, I am actually thoroughly enjoying it. Not even just a little enjoying it but REALLY enjoying it. I think a big part of it is being able to get a break and do something for myself. I think a big part of it is I'm not putting pressure on myself and giving myself crazy expectations like I normally do with everything in life because that's how it's been my whole life (I'm just trying to have fun with it, work hard, and just know I'm right where I'm supposed to be- just for today I don't have to be stick skinny). But I also think it's because a lot of days I get to do it with my husband. And that's our time. That's our time to cut up. Hang out just the two of us. He gets to train me and I actually love it. Trust me, there was a time several years back where he tried training me as such and it did not go well. Because I did not want to listen to what he had to say haha. So I don't know if I've matured or if it's just because I'm in a different place in my life. Maybe a little bit of both, BUT I am loving it. And I am loving this time that I get to spend with my husband. Who else goes to these gym with their spouse and really likes it? And what other times do you guys get where it's just the two of you and no kids? We don't get that time like at all (especially when you have 3 kids under 4 and 2 dogs 70 pounds and 120 pounds barking, screaming, and running around at all times- since they are ALL at home with me- no daycare for these kids except at the gym). We also ( also talked about in a previous blog ) started reading a book together and so we get to talk about that in amongst trying to have daily conversations just about any and everything.. all the things. But what a cool thing it is. What a cool thing it is that not only I get to enjoy the gym but I get to be with the person who, gosh I just couldn't imagine my life without. Thank God for that man and everything that he stands for. Yes he gets on my last nerve just like the kids a lot of the time.. If you know you know haha. But God bless them and God knows I love them with ever fiber of my being. So just for today I will keep on keeping on having this gym time with my hubby. Holding hands while biking is the best (said no husband ever- except mine!). That's right. So what about you? Tell me about your gym experience. Do you like it? Do you hate it? Because trust me I definitely get both sides. I used to be there, my friend. Then I got a different perspective.
