Our New Winter Hobby

I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but I'm excited that I just joined a gym! There's a new club that's opening in the neighborhood called Lifetime Fitness, and the facility is CRAZY. I don't know how they can afford to run this thing on the paltry amount they're charging, I feel like I should offer them more.

The first ten minutes of talking to the rep, we only covered what's available for the kids, so I was kind of proud of myself on that one. The daycare there is bananas. They have organized activities, several rooms to play in, and a gymnasium to run around in. They also offer motion classes, dance classes, swim lessons and stuff like that! When they're a little older, there's an entire rock climbing room, indoor and outdoor turf soccer fields, water slides for the outdoor pool, you name it. For now, I'm just excited to have a constructive place for them to run around when they need it. It's a challenge when it's cold and dark outside.

For me, it will be some mental health when we need to get out of the house. I can walk, lift a couple weights, go to a yoga class. The spinning studio sounds off the hook, they actually have air blowers to make it feel like you're riding outside, and movie screens with the Tour de France or something like that. I'm going to have to give it a go.

I can't wait for December 11!
