The Gym and Promises

OK so it has been awhile I know I know....

We have been having lots of conversations lately in my house about the gym and getting healthy blah blah blah.  

Mary Beth loves amusement parks and wants to go to Disney world.  So silly me said that I was not healthy enough to go.  That sparked the conversation that has changed my sleep habits. 

Let's just say I was up at 4:27a.m. this fine Monday morning.  OK consider myself a morning person however at that time of day it is not morning but actually the middle of the night.

My 17yo did not realize and started her cheery chipper talk on the way to the gym.  I was quiet and listened.  Then we get to the gym and she still has not stopped talking so I gave her the mom look.  That didn't work 15 mins into the stationary bike and she starts with the encouraging words.  That was it I looked at her and let her know to shut up.  She smiles and lets me know that I can do it....

Obviously I know that I can because I was.  She is still oblivious to the mood that I am in and is still talking.  I let her know that I am not talking because there is no longer the breath available for me to communicate.  She smiles and doesn't realize at the moment that I want to smack the smile from her chipper face but cannot due to lack of oxygen. 

Then I get off the bike and head for the Arc Trainer.  Unbeknowst to me this machine has a mind of its own.  I am just struggling and thinking that I am more out of shape than what I thought.  So 5mins into this killer workout the trainer comes to me.  OOPS he says you are on 25 when you should have started at 1.  He smiles and laughs and shows me what to do next time.  I once again think if I had the strength to knock the smile from his face and realize that I do not so I smile and keep going.

Sarah starts the you can do it speech again.  Really come on does she not see my obvious look of pain.  She needs to stop really....

I start thinking Disney is not worth all this and then it ended.  I was driving home and now I am drinking my smoothie and laughing and all so I can get up tomorrow and start over again.  I love Mary Beth but I need not promise anymore.
