Exercising is like Sex. (heard this one)
You dread it, but after you feel great. and proud of yourself. (well, maybe that's just me :)
We joined the gym. wanna know why ?
Because the daycare ROCKS ! the kids LOVE going there (the babies...we have to sneak away from but they do well after we go, and they are going damn it) and we don't have to call ahead...we just show up, get stickers for their backs and walk on out.
Our joke going is that we will drop the kids off and then go sleep in one of the racquetball courts....or enjoy a smoothie....or sit in the hot tub for the whole 2 hours.
Thing is....we haven't done any of those things. We've. actually. worked. out. We plant our fat asses in front of the TV's (usually something to do with balls...pick a sport) and we're off. cardio for 30. machines and weights. and then we collect our children. throw them in their suits and go swimming. EVERYONE WINS !
I (heart) Life.time fitness. If I don't lose a fucking POUND people. I love that place.
What I don't heart is that as with anything comes runny noses...and we have them in our house.
Nobody is sleeping.
Will this stop us from exposing them, once again, to millions of viruses tomorrow. NO WAY !
Two hours people. TWO HOURS PEOPLE. just being together. sweating. the only sound is heavy breathing and the pounding of feet. no children screaming. no whining. crying. pulling at your pant leg.
WOO ! with all of the cheering I'm doing I believe I've worked out harder than when I do go.
Right now we are on a month to month plan. It's not cheap and we really can't afford it but we figure that during the cold season it gives all of us something fun to do together.
Who knows. we may just shape up a little bit in the process.
naaaaah.

I joined the Y in October for the very same reason; the daycare is great! I "only" have twins, so I have yet to use the full 2 hours I am allowed to leave them with the very nice ladies in daycare, but they love it and so do I. It's worth every penny -- enjoy!
Awesome! My gym in Mass has a great childcare center, but I was too scared to bring them until they got their swine flu vacs. And I have a friend who joined the Y and for the daycare. It is a beautiful thing!
I have a friend that when she was very very pregnant with #3 would take her 3 years old twins to the day care center in the gym. When the girl asked where she would be working out she raised an eyebrow and said in the smoothie bar, then went and read a book there.
You guys are awesome!!! We complain that we don't have enough time to work out.. but here is my proof.. if you guys have time we SHOULD have time :)
LOve it all!!
way to go!
it's awesome and you know what, the runny noses are going to be in your house weather or not you go there so you mine as well get some peace while your at it!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are so hilarious!!! I love your blog!!!
We have a daycare at our 24 hr Fitness too. But I haven't been brave enough to leave the baby there yet. We'll see.
Sounds great! - especially the hard breathing! :)
Awesome!!!
what a great idea!! mel and i just bought 10 classes of yoga but we should have joined a gym instead. when our classes are complete we're totally going to do that, brilliant!!
That's great! Sum and I were just talking about joining a gym with a day care so maybe we will have to check it out!
sounds great. maybe we should look into something like that...i mean at least it's a break from the kids. ;) good for you!
Wow.. You have time! :) Couldn't wait for us to move real soon - there is an awesome gym nearby but again pricey. Why gym are so pricey? urgh..
Glad you get some break ;)
I SOOOO want to join a gym. Kel and I work opposites shifts, but I so think it would do wonders for us to go to the gym together on the weekends. Just us. No kids, no screaming, no crying, no whining. But money is a factor, and so is daycare. I am pretty sure the only gym around that has day care does not give family plans to unmarried couples. I know - how backyard right - you'd think we lived in Ohio - oh wait -we do! But I have looked into other gyms, and the prices weren't too bad, and a couple we would even get a discount from work but there is still the issue of daycare. I still want to though. I think we could hit people up for it, just rotate around through friends and family, and it would so be worth it - now just to find the extra money! lol
Good for you guys! Enjoy it!
Way to go! I joined the Y in September and quit in October b/c A didn't let me leave the nursery. He screamed and screamed and the lame-ass nursery attendants did not help AT ALL!
