Jazzy, thanks so much for your words of wisdom. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who is going thru this(or has gone thru it). I Love being a stay at mom and don't think I could ever put my son in daycare, but it just gets old.. ya know?It's not my son.. it's just being alone all day.. all the time. I used to have a gym membership and would go almost every afternoon with my son. Then I started watching my lil bro for my dad and could only go on Mondays( the only day I don't watch him) b/c they wouldn't watch him in the daycare since he wasn't my child. Well, then we moved in dec. about 20miles from the gym and I stopped going b/c gas was too expensive and it took too long to get there. So, we ended up canceling it about 2 months ago. I would love to get a new gym membership close to my new house, but we just can't afford it right now. Plus, we have workout equipment in my garage( and we just cleaned it sun. so I could use the stuff). I live in a neighborhood with mostly older couples and don't really know anyone who lives around me.
Ok, so in my last post I said I was going to go workout in the garage.. and I DID. yay me!! It's honestly my first real work out in about 2 or 3 months.. sad I know. It was so freakin hot outside, but I stuck it out for an hour on the stationary bike( where u sit down and your feet are in front of u) and burned about 350cals. I think I may have sweated off like 10lbs  my tank top was soaked when I came in. It's so hott here in Oklahoma now, but it felt sooo good to work up a good sweat. I just listened to my ipod and read magazines and the time flew by. I told myself that I would just do 30 mins, but that came and went and by the time i knew it, I had been on there for an hour. I'm so proud of myself for actually doing it! I am going to try and workout everyday(m-f) for atleast an hour while the kids are napping. It's funny cuz the workout gave me a good feeling.. like happy and not so sad and depressed like I was earlier. I love that feeling!!
Well, I'm off to feed the kiddos a snack... later ya'll
