Strictly Strength

It's been almost a year since I've gone to the gym and I've been really anxious to get back in there to lose this baby weight. 'Strictly Strength' is one of the classes offered and it sounded like a good one to start with on my first day back. How ironic, it seems that both Luke and I needed just that...emotional strength.

As soon as I made the reservation for him this morning, the butterflies started. I kept thinking of excuses why I should stay home, but knew that it would be best for both of us if we went.

I dropped him off at the nursery (after going through my million instructions for the cute little college girls that work there). I got to my class, started sweating and calming down a little bit, only to look over and see a young girl from the nursery holding a big dry erase board with my name written on it!
She informed me that Luke had been screaming for the past 20 minutes and that I would have to leave class and come get him.

As soon as I got to the nursery and picked him up, he stopped crying and even started smiling...such a toot! He fell asleep immediately in the car on the way home and once we got home, was only awake long enough for his bath. I read him a book right before putting him to bed and I started nodding off myself...I guess I got more of a workout than I realized.

I snapped a picture of him in his car seat right after I picked him up. Hopefully I will get to stay for the entire class next time.
