It has come to this, a gym upgrade and a 5 day work out plan

If I haven't been blogging a ton lately this is why. I am now carefully scheduling life around gym visits and on the off chance I have a spare minute I research athletic pants that don't shine when stretched and thus highlight your unflattering parts. Although the scale will NOT move my clothes are all getting too big and I unearthed the plastic bin of clothes pre-pregnancies, so from 2003 ish? Turns out black velvet jeans are really not my taste any more as well as turtleneck sweaters and frilly blouses. Did I wear that stuff? Why did I not save any undergarments? Bras are expensive and boring and I hate spending money on them but unfortunately they are essential to fight gravity and be seen in public or actually to be seen by anyone including my children and husband, they must not know.
So all of this is hard. Eating well or at least trying to and uhhhh exercising is not one of my particular gifts. However this IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN BABIES.
Newborns. Just say the word and I want to crawl in to bed. Soft spots and spit up and little tiny human beings so fragile and helpless. I was always disheveled and sweaty and moving in a fog of sleeplessness with eye twitches, I couldn't remember names and I was never quite sure when the kids actually had to be at school it was just a shadowy window and a guilty feeling. Thank you Lord that we have made it to this point. All four children officially not babies, 3 of them potty trained, 4 sleeping through most nights and walking unassisted except for stairs (Charlie). Four healthy children with apparently unscathed soft spots. Hallelujah. I am off to the gym to with the two littlest because Sam, bless his heart, upgraded me and I can now use the babysitting.
