Last year, I got a family membership at the YMCA for me and the
kiddos. Dan couldn't do much at the time since he was in a back brace and needed to heal from surgery, but my three kiddos
and I headed to the Y one night for our first visit.
I took a book with me, since a lot of the exercise equipment has a place to hold the book open so you can read while
you work out. I knew it wouldn't be a long workout, since I need to get into practice and all, but took a book anyway.
Kota went and played in the gym, and us 3 girls headed for the
workout room. Amber got on the exercise bike, and Elissa and I got on the elliptical equipment.
All went well, and we all had a fun time!
Amber, Dan and I ended up sitting around the table together later that night, and I watched as Amber's brains fell
right out of her head!!! I know this happened because of what she did while we were sitting there together....
The child told her daddy how I never got to my book because
I was slumped over the machine, trying to last a whole 5 minutes, and she imitated me!!!
Now, it's one thing to be surrounded with everyone else who
is wearing agony all over their faces, while they walk, run, and step their way into shape. But to go home and tell my
man how out of shap....I mean, practice, I am was uncalled for!
He had probably notice that I've packed on...I mean, added a pound here and there over the years since we first
married. I'm sure that he just figured that all the new clothes over the years was just a girl thing-oh how I love a cute
new outfit(especially in a larger, more comfortable size!)!
Well, she blew it for me! Guess I'll have to keep practicing so that he'll never believe Amber was telling the truth
if we join the Y again, and he comes with us! :)
