Back to the Gym

So…I started working out (a little) in December. I used to go to the gym religiously before my son was born. So it feels good to be going back (7+ years later). However it is really showing me how out of shape I am. I know, I know, it has been 7 years and 2 children later. Of course I’m not going to be in the same physical shape.

How did I get here? Have you ever wondered that? Like, when did I become a middle-aged mom. I don’t think I’m going through a mid-life crisis. I’m not depressed either. I’m just sad that life is flying by. My youth is LONG gone.

It shouldn’t bug me. I’m so blessed in my life with a wonderful family and my health (knock on wood). Life is good… it is just zooming by. For example I swear just yesterday my son turned 2 years old. Today he is 7. Even harder for me to comprhend is on my next birthday I’ll be 40. Yeah. 40 years old. How did that happen?

It’s too bad you couldn’t by replacement parts for your body like you can for, say, your computer. You can buy a new Rackmount monitor for you home computer, but I can’t buy a mid-section (ha, ha). So… that’s why I’m going back to the gym…
