Paperwork got done and filed and things are rolling and that will all be finalized in a month, finally free from that title that has been holding me back lately. I have been dating but I can be officially dating then, not that that is the most important thing to me at all. It is very stressful being a single mom, very looking forward to this week. Kevin is coming home so I get a much needed break from the girls and they get some much needed time with their dad. Kevin and I are getting along well which is helpful since there is a lot to deal with as parents.
My big decision right now is whether to spend $300 on a treadmill or a gym membership. Fitness is so important to me that I have to have something, I can't give it up and it is so hard to do any thing right now. A treadmill would be super convenient but also boring, but I do love running. A gym membership w/ childcare may not even be affordable, I need to check. It would be more inconvenient but I would have to do it, just thinking about getting the girls bundled up to go out into the cold just so I can work out. Quite a decision and I need to make it soon, any advice?
Well I will keep up the work, I am still keeping super busy and I try to go up and down my stairs as often as possible and get in a run whenever I possibly can. I am trying to eat well but with my being sick my appetite is so off, not eating well at all, lots of weight loss shakes. I was bad and had pizza the other day, my first one I have ordered since my life change, also probably the last, remembered why I don't like it! Thanks to those of you still keeping up with me. I am really happy and in such a good place right now (little secret: met a great guy and I think it could really be something, I'll keep you updated).

I think of you so often, sweetie. I'm so, so proud of you for everything you have been doing. Everything you have overcome! Keep it up. You are truly amazing!
As for the treadmill or gym thing, I'd say if you can find a good gym with childcare for an affordable price, go with that. Do you have a YMCA there? I love the one here in Oceanside. I pay $48 a month and that includes 80 min. of childcare per day. I love the Y back in my hometown too. So maybe check into that?
Hey Em!
I go to 24 hour fitness and love it! They have childcare, although I haven't used it so I am not sure if it costs extra or if it is included. I pay about $25/month and if you watch their online specials you can find a month where they are waiving the sign up fee.
It is a nice little escape. I think if I had a treadmill/elliptical in my house it would just collect dust.
Good luck!
