I was there everyday Monday to Saturday for 2 hrs. I worked my butt off and loved it. I guess it was my 'going out'. Now I'm lucky if I get there once a week.
The difference though, is I appreciate it so much more now. When you can go whenever you want in the blink of an eye. Take whatever class you want and hey even if you want to stay for 3hrs I used to be able to do that. Now I have to set up a babysitter or have my hubby home, feel guilty for leaving, could never stay that long because there isn't enough time. But I feel soo good when I'm finished my workout and I'm back in my car. My body LOVES me for it.
I thought about this yesterday as I was leaving the gym (and watching another lady leave the gym eating an ice cream???). I felt so good sitting there and appreciating the time I had to workout. I was living in that moment and it was good.

This post resonates with me, because sometimes I would take things for granted, and then when I couldn't do them, I realized how much I loved those activities.
I think it's great you can take some time for yourself. It's really healthy and good for your family too! (From a Mom of 7)
I'm really appreicating my gym time as well. I look up sometimes and catch myself with this big goofy grin on my face about three-quarters of the way through my workout. I don't know if it's because I'm feeling good or because I know I'm getting close to being done with the workout.
