i just got back from the gym. i sound so hard core and a regular gym-goer but i assure you i’m sooooo not. my brother who left to rochester a few weeks ago gave me his so that’s the only reason why i own one. the only exercise i usually get is laughing throughout the day and pushing the kids on the swing. the last time i did real exercise? i did pilates for about 10 mins. a few months after i had adalie. adalie is turning 3 in two months. haha. so embarrassing i know.
so tonight was the first time i went with my gym pass. i looked up the class schedule online and saw that they offered power yoga at 9:30 p.m. so after i put ana to sleep(jay puts adi to sleep), i left to the gym. well, turns out the yoga class had just ended, for it started at 8:30(am i dyslexic?) and it was the last class of the day. i came in my pajama shorts, a zipper hoodie and a tank top, and my slippers a.k.a flip flops(jay says since i’m married to a guy from hawaii, it’s a disgrace if i call it flip flops instead of slippers.) and lastly, my hair was down. i think everyone could tell this was my frist time. i awkwardly stood in the middle of the gym and looked around as people were lifting weights and i felt so out of place. i would never dare to even try to use one since i have no idea how it works! i thought about just leaving but then that would make me look more like a fool so i looked around more and saw the elliptical machine and thought to myself, “oh yeah, i forgot gyms have treadmills and elliptical machines! now that i know how to use!” so i went to the very back corner and did 2 miles on level 1. i tried level 2 for a few mins. but my calves started to hurt.
i’m so hard core, i know. oh and the picture above? people always confuse me with her but i assure you she’s not.
*note to self: next time put my hair up, wear tennis shoes, and buy those striped athletic shorts all the girls were wearing.

oh its good to know that someone else daily exercise consists of stroller pushing. π

Ha ha this made me laugh. You should go back to yoga! I have learned to always wear tennis shoes to yoga in case the class is canceled so that I can do something else. Better luck next time!
