I went to the gym tonight. (Will someone please revive my parents? I'm sure they just fainted from shock.)
Anywho, the gym has a pool. And the membership is pretty cheap. AND they have free childcare. Can't wait to try that out next time.
I went to go swim some laps. It was pathetic. I was winded after the third lap or so. Total, I probably only swam for about 15 minutes. I can't believe how out of shape I am!! (Yes I can. I'm breathing hard after going up the stairs some days.)
On the way out, I had to keep telling myself not to throw up. My body really isn't used to exercise of any kind. Have you heard the term skinny-fat? It means you look skinny, but your muscles and heart are incredibly out of shape. That's me. Not that I'm skinny anymore. But I'm not overweight by any standard. I even got a few admiring looks as I walked by the weight machines. (Gotta remember to put my wedding ring back on next time.)
Ooo Ooo. The best part. I weighed myself. Really, that was the best part. Even fully clothed and with my sneakers on, I've lost more than 15 pounds since having Edward! Pre-pregnancy weight is only 6 pounds away. Maybe I can make it before he turns one. I'd deserve a party for that. With cake. And ice cream.
Man I want some ice cream.

You go girl!
Swimming is the best way to lose weight and tone your muscles, I think! I'm so jealous that you have an awesome gym with childcare. That's awesome!
i know all about skinny fat. it's me after this pregnancy. i am really close to pre-pregnancy weight but lost muscle tone being on bed rest for so long. so since muscle weighs more than fat, really, when we work out we might gain for awhile. congrats on hitting the gym. i started two months ago and it is getting easier and easier. :)
