Ok so, I NEVER win anything. Well, that's not true. I win board games, races down the mountain and I did come in 2nd in a watermellon eating contest while on the misison. But, I NEVER win any material things. The apartment complex we're at has a monthly get together. Basically a way for companies to advertise. This month a couple of different companies came from gyms in the area mostly to get people into personal training. We actually went this month soley on the off chance we'd get money off next months rent from the raffle. While there, Mckenzie was her normal wild self and we decided to leave. That night, I received a call from the manager's office saying that I won! I was so excited to not have to pay the full rent next month (Massachusetts is RIDICULOUSLY expensive to live). Well, I didn't win that. I won a 6 month gym membership to Gold's Gym. It's worth around $350, so I was pretty excited. I GUESS, I'll settle for that :) AND, the manager said that he'd talk to some of the personal trainers and see if I could get a couple of times with them free, too! My brother is here visiting us, so I took him last night to the gym and I realized that I have become a weakling. Before I was pregnant, my max at the leg press was 500 lbs. Last night, I did 180 lbs and I think I could have only done about 20 more. Granted, I have had 2 c-sections and a major knee surgery all within 2 years, but still! Good thing I have insurance! So, I have decided to get back to the gym...and not just do cardio like I pretty much have been doing for the past 2 years. WAHOO! I am actually really excited about this gym. It has all the things I need except a swimming pool which is fine because there's one here. The bad thing is that it's right down the street from the most delicious bakery...

Ha ha! How funny that it's next to the bakery. And holy cow! You could do 500 on a leg press! That's freaking crazy girl! Way to be.
Congratulations! Winning's super fun.
Cool- Congrats at winning! I won a dvd once. It was awesome.
I always gain weight when I exercise because my appetite goes WAY up whenever I do. That's why I like Yoga, because it doesn't make my appetite skyrocket.

Isn't yoga fun? They have tons of classes including a yoga. I like pilates, but they don't have that class during the summer.
