I did it....

....I actually stepped foot inside the YMCA again.  Wow - its been about 4 months...That's a long time for me!!  And I can't say I really wanted to get up this morning...we didn't get to bed as early as I would like to get up at 6.  (Read - we were so interested in the Football games/tennis going on that we got sidetracked and lost track of time) So, at about 11 when we were going to sleep, James says "what time should I set the alarm for?".  To which I reply "umm, how about 6, then we can snooze one time and still make the gym by 6:30."  (Yes, I am a queen of the snooze button....)  Fast Forward to 6:09 and the alarm goes off for the 2nd time.  James jumps out of bed.  "are you going" he asks.  "ahh this bed is so comfortable I think I'll just stay snuggled up I guess I have to start sometime" I replied and pulled my tired, lazy butt out of bed.  I decide to make it a slow transition back to the gym, so jumped on a treadmill to walk.  I turned the TV to ESPN2 to watch the Australia Open and set about my walk (at a brisk pace and 0.5 incline - starting somewhere right).  Well, about 10 minutes in I decided just walking wasn't going to cut it.  So, I ran 2 mins at 5.5.  Not too bad.  Walked again, ran again, walked again, ran again.  Then decided to walk the last 10 minutes (still at a brisk pace and 0.5 incline).  At minute 30, I still hadn't had enough the tennis match was still on, so I walked slower to watch more of it.  (It was a really close match).  After 10 minutes of slow walking/watching tennis, I decided I need to do something else.  I grabbed 8 lb weights and went through 5 upper body exercises twice.  Starting somewhere indeed.  Followed by 2 sets of 10 knee ups (abs).  Glad to have gotten the workout in.  But seriously thinking a short nap later might be needed!!!

Not sure I'm back in the habit as I was before,  but I've definitely taken a step in the right direction!
