YMCA

Last week we joined the YMCA which I was really excited and finally physically ready for. We had been doing jogs around the neighborhood but it's hard when it's pouring rain, or snowing or 20 degrees.

So today was day 5 of working out. It's been amazing. We get up at 10:30 and are at the gym anytime between 11 and 12 doing our little routines. Mine is running on the treadmill which I missed from working at the rec and love. I completely zone out and have zero thoughts on my body or 'if I look fat' while running. I listen to my ipod and run at 6.5 speed. I have been running 10 minutes, which is perfect and I plan on upping it because I would really like to be able to run a half marathon at some point. It's something I have already seen myself become stronger at from just running a week.

After that I do 10 reps on this one leg machine I really like then 5 reps on a new fun arm machine. Travis does a lot of weights and leg things but we have enjoyed it so much. I'm so proud of both of us because Leslie told us that was our homework, to join and to work out to relieve stress.
