Legs of Jello

That would be the best way to describe how I feel after my Mom's With Wheels class. This was day 2 of the class and I know I'll sleep well tonight (I just hope Max does!). I really enjoy it so far, but man oh man, it's very difficult at times! It's a post-pregnancy class to help us mommies get back into a shape (other than round apparently). I wish I'd seen the advertisment for the class earlier on, so I could have started to get back in shape a lil earlier. My friend and I did start walking together every (well most)mornings about a month ago. And Matthew and I would go on walks at the park every now and again (he'd usually not want to go w/ me after work since he'd already done his PT and would be tired). So I have done some stuff, but not nearly enough it seems. I had to get my measurements done today. Figured that would be a nice smack in the face first thing in the morning. I'm not sitting too badly though. According to them. I do have some owrk to do though. Just hope I can keep this up after the class ends. We're supposed to wear a pedometer all the time and try to achieve 10,000 steps a day (equals about 3 miles). Yesterday was rather laid back for Max and I, but i did do a lil shopping. I had about 6,000 for the day. Yea, today, I had 6,000 by about 1pm. Over 5,000 by the time I'd left the class (1115am).
I'd really like to start riding my bike everyday, but we have to get a bike trailer first, unless I strap Max to the handlebars : ) I don't think he'd that too much though.
It would have been so nice to start all this stuff earlier. Than, looking for Ball gowns for the Young Marine ball and our USMC ball, wouldn't be so discouraging and difficult. I spent yesterday afternoon looking in New Bern, and I think this afternoon will be spend in Jacksonville trying to hunt something down to wear. Speaking of, I should get a move on it, I'm burning daylight just typing away on here.
Oh! And a big ole' Welcome Home to our friend who returned yesterday and Happy Birthday to his wife and a great friend of mine!

You are more motivated than me, but that's why I'm glad we walk together! Otherwise, I'd be an exercise dropout... I know you'll see terrific results soon, so just hang in there.

See you tonight,
