OK. I WENT



I take a LOT more stuff with me than Nicole Ritchie.

 And I took my daughter with me!  I signed her up for a month membership at the gym so we can make this a kick off month for good habits before she goes back to school. 

She is going to try low carb with me - though she doesn't seem to have the basics down yet.  After she ate her sandwich of meat between lettuce leaves instead of bread she asked if Wheat Thins were allowed! Those of us who love and could live on bread do understand it takes a while to make that shift.

I realized after my last post that it really isn't the gym per se that is the issue.  I like the gym, I like to get exercise.  The problem is getting up super early and schlepping all my clothes and make-up and towel and breakfast with me - then working out, showering and dressing in the locker room and zipping out the door to get to work.  That is the part I avoid.

After work is not my favorite time to exercise.  Aside from the crowds, I am anxious to get done and home in a timely manner because if I don't make it, there is no dinner. And if dinner isn't on the table by 6:30 or so - Tom roams through the kitchen eating everything in sight and then the dinner I eventually make is picked at.  Plus - not my high energy time of day.  Though, Ally and I may try one of the 7pm Zumba classes.

So - there you have it.  Like working out, don't like having to drag stuff to get ready for work at gym.  Promise to do it at least 3 times a week anyway.
