New Body

We had promised ourselves that once hubby got his new job we would join the gym.

I'm not unhappy with my body, but as ever would mark it "could do better". Also, exercise should help me de-stress after work and will hopefully substitute the glass of wine for this purpose at the moment. Finally, I am SO determined not to put on as much weight in my next pregnancy as I did in may last one. I was repulsed by my body three months after I had given birth last time and I'm just not willing to put myself through that again. Hopefully I'll be pregnant through the summer, so I won't be tempted by too much food and if I get used to the gym now it will become routine quickly.

It's another story for hubby: he IS overweight. It doesn't mean I love him any less, but I do fear for his health. His grandparents died young and at 16 plus stone it terrifies me that he will too. He's set himself a goal to lose two stone before our holiday in June, which would be a major achievement, so I am determined to do everything I can to help him.

Our first day in the gym wasn't supposed to be hard core, we were only taking our son swimming, but it feels like we've taken a step in the right direction before our gym induction on Monday. Hubby keeps calling it "G" day.

I can't wait!
