Is anyone interested in posting a Workout Log here on the parenting board?
This may be exercise related and maybe should be on the fitness board, but I totally look at working out and being a mom in a totally different light.
Before I was a mom, I could work out all the time and leave the house to go for a jog or the gym without even thinking about anyone else.
Now, I need to start getting ready at least an 1 1/2 before I go to the gym. I need to pack a bag for Gavin (snacks, a bottle, extra binkys, a change of clothing just in case etc..), change him, feed him, maybe change him again if I smell a poopy diaper (and changing him takes about 15 minutes because he HATES it and I wrestle with him to get a diaper and clothes on) get me dressed, put him in the carseat (most of the time he is not happy about that and screaming), put him in the car, get the rest of my stuff together, get to the gym, take him out of the carseat, put on his jacket, bring him to the childcare there, feel awful if he starts crying (most of the time he is fine, he loves the girls who work there) and then walk into whatever class I am taking.
Basically, I am sure you ladies know, it is a workout in itself just getting to the the class I want to take at the gym.
BUT I ALWAYS FEEL SO MUCH BETTER IF I START MY MORNING AT THE GYM. I used to love posting what I did that day on the exercise board, I always felt like I accomplished something and looked forward to posting. So that is why I am asking if anyone is interested in doing this on the Parenting board?
(also, for those of you who have 2 or more children and get to the gym, how the heck do you do it?)

I post on the fitness board, but I could post here too I suppose...
Or maybe we can make a "Mommy" thread on the fitness board?

That's a good idea too.
I just really post here, so that is why I am asking, but I'll start posting there again. Which thread do you post on?

Thankfully my gym has like 4 spots right in front of the door specifically for people using infant seats. You can bet your @ss I'll be stuffing Eliza into that seat for as long as possible.
I start getting everyone ready about 45 minutes before it's time to leave. Thankfully, Madelyn is still pretty petite so I can easily carry her on my hip on one side, hold the infant seat in the other, and the diaper bag (with my ipod and water) is slung over a shoulder.
I have to be honest, I'm always very proud of myself that I am able to do it. Especially when everyone is looking at my like,  .
