Playing red rover with kids on photo shoots. (It gets them to hold hands so I can take their photo. But I do have to play along a bit first.)

Until tonight when we FINALLY purchased a family pass to the YMCA. Red Rover will NO LONGER be my only source of exercise! Woo hoo!!

We are SO out of shape that we finally hit a wall that today I just decided, “We are going tonight and just signing up.” Yea, we walk the dogs 3 times a day and yea, I chase kids like crazzzzy on shoots and at hoome, but it’s not the same. We are feeling very squishy. Plus, Miles needs to see what it’s like to swim some place other than our bathtub.

Until today, here were my excuses:

The Y is too crowded.

The people are snobby.

The bathrooms are gross.

The pool is freezing.

We don’t have time.

It’s too expensive.

Well, when we went tonight it wasn’t that crowded, the people were AWESOME, the pool was warm-ish, the bathrooms were clean, it’s not too expensive and you know what? We can find the time.

Speaking of which, I gotta go, I am getting up at 6:30 am tomorrow to go try and not be too intimidated by the scary gym, people who know what they are doing and the fact that I haven’t worked out since…well, let’s just say, it’s been a while.
