School canceled for potential snow storm. Literally woke up, looked out the window, and said "How lame." Nothing. No snow to play in. But - day off!!!! I get to go to the gym at a normal hour!!
I spent the morning cleaning out and organizing our pantry. It was a long overdue task that needed to get done. Then, I made the announcement that I was getting ready to go to the gym and if anyone wanted to come, they needed to be at the door and ready when I got there. Teen boys that they are, my boys wanted to stay home and play on the Xbox. But my girls were ready to roll. So off we went.
I dropped the girls off quickly in their Kid City area and headed to the rowing machine. I got in a quick mile for warm up and then decided to do triple sets with decreasing weight on my normal round of machines. On a few of the machines, I was able to add a few pounds more than normal. My strength is finally returning. I pushed myself, and I mean pushed. By the end of 55 minutes, my arms and legs felt like jelly and I could not stop smiling. I miss having 2 hours a day to spend at the gym. I can't wait for summer vacation. At least the girls start swim next week so I can get in 45 minutes to an hour twice a week again. But nothing compares to those summer swim days when I can take everyone to practice and go work out for an hour and swim laps for an hour. That is my happy time.
I'm not sure how happy my body will be tomorrow... but I'll definitely sleep well tonight!
