#28 Things That Lift Me Up

YMCA
Everybody - sing it with me!!! No, seriously....I am loving our local YMCA. Floyd Medical Center recently partnered with YMCA to give their employees a discount and we decided to take advantage. The YMCA recently renovated their facility to include a really nice child care center, cardio theater (which a fancy way of saying that they have tvs on every treadmill) and a really cool room called The Vault for 7-12 year olds with interactive video games (you play video games while you excercise!) - man to be 12 years old again!
I admit - I kind of lost focus for awhile. Started eating lots o' fast food, stopped working out, stopped going to Weight Watchers, put on about 20 pounds. How come it goes on so much faster than it comes off? It doesn't help that I have been so stressed out with work and things with Micah...and instead of going to the gym....I headed straight for McDonalds. But...I am re-focused....and I have to be...because in a month and a half I am signed up for the Chickamauga 1/2 marathon!!!
The boys are loving the YMCA too! Noah said the other night, "Can we go to the MDCH?" I said, "The what?" He said, "The USPA!" I still was clueless! It took about four tries with various combinations of letters and I realized he wanted to go to the YMCA! They are going to be taking swimming lessons soon and I am going tomorrow to sign up for pre-school soccer which Micah is begging us to do.
Here's to a healthier family!
