She's a little bit dangerous!

Today I was feeling daring.

I took Wyatt to the gym daycare. It wasn't my own gym where you have to make an appointment. It is to a gym that you don't have to make an appointment. You just show up and drop your kid off. I was so worried that he would cry and cry but he was an angel. Could he be over his stranger danger?

I REALLY, REALLY want to join.

Not only for the kids care but I forgot how much I love this gym. They seriously work you out harder than you thought possible. I only did a baseline workout but in 20 minutes of working out (warm up and instructions included) I burned 250 calories! It actually only took me 5:49 minutes to complete. Love it! In a way I was glad I didn't have to do the Workout of the Day (WOD) because it looked hard. This one girl kept swearing because she "couldn't" do it. One of the trainers said, "All I've heard you say this whole time is how you can't do it. If you say it then you won't be able to do. All right, you can't! What's the worst thing that could happen to you? Just do it!" Seriously, I love the trainers. They want you to succeed and believe in yourself.

Pretty please, Jason. With cherries and whipcream on top. Need to get rid of baby fat. (BTW...still no progress with the weight thing and Wyatt is almost 8 months old!). Don't even get me started. I don't feel like having a cry fest about my weight issues.

Next, the other daring/dangerous thing that I did today was dunk Wyatt in the pool. It was his first time and it was scary for me but I felt daring today. We did it multiple times. Not sure if he "loved" it but he did a great job holding his breath. It's so sad seeing their little eyes and face when they get out. It just about breaks my heart. He never cried after being dunk though. I was so proud. Maybe he will be the next Michael Phelps. I saw some friends at the pool whose kids are little fish. I asked them for pointers and they showed me some stuff I can work with Wyatt on. They had cute little songs to go with it. Now our daily pool adventures will be much more fun.

Maybe I should be more daring every day.

Which gym did you try out? I have been taking Ellie with me to 24 Hour Fitness and after about a week - she has done awesome and LOVES to go. Granted she is a bit older.... but I want to join this gym again after my new baby is 6 months old!
