For Me

For the last eleven years I have been a mother. I very rarely do things for myself, and never do any really big things for me. Well, this week I have. And at the New Moon. (A few days early, but it needed to be on the weekend.)

So what is this big thing I've done for myself? I joined a gym. And signed up for multiple sessions with a trainer. My first session with a trainer is tomorrow. That was the expensive part, the trainer. I went to the gym with the intent to join. I have to do something, not just to look better but to feel better. Considering I know nothing about the machines or working out, I needed the trainer. So it's a treat for me. To make up for it I'll just tighten my budget more than I planned. That's no big deal, we are still doing better than we are used to doing. It's been a rough year, but we've made it and are doing better.

I'm not one of those women that spend a lot of money having their hair done or their nails done. I don't even get my eyebrows waxed anymore, I just pluck 'em myself the old fashion way. So a little extra money towards making myself fit and healthy is perfectly okay. I'm really excited about this. I have needed a change for a while, but just couldn't do anything about it. No time, no money. But now I've done it and I'm not going to waste a bit of it. :)
