new things.

yesterday i tried something new...i ran without my zune. it's not that it wasn't charged or anything, i just decided to run without it. and i actually liked it. i was surprised that i liked running without any music. it was different, but a good different. yeah, i could still hear my "little sidekick" and all that goes along with that, with me being a mom..i was able to block it out. i was with my own thoughts, no music to distract them..it was really nice.

another new thing that's happening as of next week is i'll no long be going to the gym with my "little sidekick!" well, not everyday anyway.  :) i struck a deal with my babysitter and asked her if she wanted to use the gym here in lieu of paying for a membership elsewhere and in exchange she would be on kid duty while i got my workout in. i was so happy when she agreed and can't wait to workout by myself for a change! hopefully, it'll be 4 days a week and she won't call and crap out on me too many time, if ever.  : ) so it benefits her because she gets a free gym, it benefits me because i don't have to haul/take care of another person while i workout and it even has a benefit for the "sidekick" because there won't be anymore waking up at 530am. i wanted the babysitter to actually take me up on my deal, so i let her pick a reasonable time to come over...and we settled on 9am. so i guess, i'll get to sleep in a little bit more too. overall, it's beneficial for everyone. i hope i can adapt!
