A Love-Hate Relationship

This is the TriHealth Pavilion - home of the prenatal "Fit for Two" program. My water aerobics classes on Thursdays and Saturdays are a part of this program. I love this program, but I hate this program.

What I love about it: alone time, exercising, it's close to home, alone time, chatting (while gasping for air) with the other pregnant women, you can pay on a monthly basis, alone time, the HOT showers afterwards, alone time, the great instructors that KICK MY ASS, alone time, the first-time moms who think they have their labor, delivery and child-rearing all figured out, and alone time.

What I hate about it: going there after work instead of straight home, going there in the middle of the day on Saturday (Who schedules a pregnancy class at NOON?? Pregnant women are hungry at that hour!!!), the first step into the pool, missing out on Stella time, missing out on Andy time, having to eat dinner/lunch late, how gasping for air reminds me how out of shape I am, the great instructors that KICK MY ASS and the cold walk from the pool to the shower.

However, in the end...Love wins this battle because I keep going back for more and really do enjoy the time I'm there. I'm headed to bed early...my ass was kicked once again this evening and I'm EXHAUSTED. (Thanks Aunt Deb!!)
