Brrrrrrr, It's cold!

I am definately not looking forward to my gas bill! The last few days we have had a blast of cold, cold weather. It is -2 degrees and it is frigid. We have been spoiled so far this winter so I guess I shouldn't complain too much. The schools have been closed for 2 days because of the cold. Of course, the kids love that! We did go to our favorite Japanese Ramen shop for dinner Saturday. My son was brave enough to try the squid this time and loved it. The shop we go to is very authentic. There are only about 8 or 9 tables, A shelf with Japanese books and magazines, and the counter stacked with bowls where the cook prepares the ramen-delicious ramen! What a great way to warm up for awhile.

My journey continues

I made it to the gym 3 days in a row and on Thursday I decided to take the family so that they could all get their id cards and see what my excitement was about. Getting everyone in the car was a production in itself. Once we arrived, they all got their cards and we headed to the gym. My hubby decided to forgo the orientation saying "Ginny, I have been in a gym before." My girls just went around checking everything out. Since my son is only 10 he was not allowed in the gym. I started to do my workout and noticed that my husband was going to different machines not appearing to have a clue. My 3 kids started to run the track. They ran a mile and that kept them busy......... for about 7 minutes. After that they were back in the gym like flies on sh**. It was driving me crazy. I finally let my son come in since he looked so bored. I thought I would let him try a few machines. As we headed over towards the free weights I spotted my husband trying to bench press. He was laying on the bench with the weight bar across his chest just about trapped. I stepped over to help him get the bar up and I was like "What the hell are you doing?!!" He said "I used to be able to lift that much weight." To which my reply was "Yeah, 20 years ago!" During that hour and half visit I think I exercised for 10 minutes. I do believe that will be the last time I allow them into my new world! If they want to go again, it will not be with me!
