Staying in Shape

I love working out and I must admit I went three years without stepping in a gym. This past six months I really started getting into it again to get into shape and destress. Tonight I went to a "Turbo Kick" class which I would now like to refer to it as "Turbo Kick Your Butt" class. I stayed for 30 mins and could not believe how out of shape I felt.

The reality is that I am not really out of shape, I am in the same shape I was 7 years ago and when I was getting married- that was my early twenties... but with that said I want to emphasize how important it is to stay in shape.

Mix up your routine, don't go to the gym and do the same activities. Push yourself. I also took up running and LOVE IT. It puts a tole on your body but man does it feel awesome. I took on Zumba which is sooo much fun and am now mixing it up with different classes. I am not a skinny minnie, I have to work hard to stay in shape, I always have. I do not have the luxury to eat what I want and not gain weight. I always had a small weight problem but I found a program and a lifestyle that works for me and once you yourself finds that program that works for you too you still need to work on at it.

Don't give up, staying in shape is so rewarding to the mind, body and soul. We only get this one body, in this one lifetime...so be good to it, be true to it and stay in shape.

Essex Steam Train

Our family took a trip to Essex, CT this past weekend and we went on their Steam Train. It was really cute for all the kids and even relaxing for the adults. This is a great place to definitely check out if you live in Connecticut or visiting. They even have a dinner train perfect for couples, a fright train to spook you for Halloween , a Santa special and the North Pole Express in December to get you in the holiday spirit. If you have the time take their Riverboat to Gillette Castle and have a picnic.
