My Workout Buddy

I joined a Crossfit gym about 7 weeks after Olivia was born. There is no childcare, which was a difficult change for me to make. However, I was doing crossfit workouts at the YMCA and just not seeing results. I needed more intensity and a change in my routine to continue the post-baby weightloss and body redemption. I didn't just want to get back to pre-pregnancy weight, I wanted to SEE huge results. Anyway, Charlotte loves the "new gym" because she actually gets to see me exercise and sometimes even do some of the workouts with me. Olivia just hangs out with the other babies in the "baby bucket corner". Charlotte loves to swing on the rings and is working on her abs by holding her legs out. This is a poor quality picture since it was taken with my phone.



Next, I had to do 40 sit-ups and Charlotte came over and sat on my feet. When I came up, she would bend over and crunch her abs too. Everyone at the gym was cracking up but didn't have a camera to take a picture. Luckily, she didn't get enough at the gym and asked to do some more sit-ups when we got home. I managed to get a shot using the timer on the camera.

I am loving having my girls more involved with exercising. Before, I dropped them off at the Y daycare and they played with other kids. While that was fun, I am hopeful to impact the girls' appreciation for health by seeing me exercise.
