Yep, we did it - Mum and I returned to the dreaded gym today! Last year, on and off- OK, so more OFF than ON - we went to the gym/weight room at the YMCA. Today we started there again. It's great as we usually have the room to ourselves and can do a circuit at our own pace. Today we "worked out" for 45 minutes after walking down from Mum's (about 10 mins, so a good warm up) and with a longer, hilly walk back, ended up doing and hour and a half of exercise, and all before 11a.m.! It's so much nicer to be able to exercise when I want now, and not dependent on the kids as I am during the holidays. I much prefer going for a walk in the mornings after dropping the kids at school, rather than at the end of the day as we had to in the school holidays.
The Y is great, as I only pay $2 on Tuesday's as I also play netball that night. It's usually only $4.50 anyway, or $3.50 with a session card, so it's great value. We put on a CD of "circuit music" that they have there, and which of course has the Village People's YMCA on it (!!), and go at our own pace. Let's hope we manage to go more regularly this year - I got really good at making up excuses last year!

That is great Kylie!! I wont recognise you soon! :) The word verification is 'skins' meaning you are going to be skin and bone! :)
Thanks for your vote of confidence Lisa. I think perhaps the skins means potato skins as they are about the only thing I haven't eaten in the last few days!!! I blame Festivale - nice food, and I haven't stopped since:(
Woo -hoo! Us old girls played OK at netball tonight without Georgina's young legs and superb shooting! We had a draw - 17 all - with only one real shooter, so we're doing OK!
