Working out and Artwork

I've been having a great week.  I started back at the gym, today was my second day.  Yesterday I woke up sort of motivated and thinking about getting to the gym.  While I was watching the episode, I Used to be Fat, it hit me.  I was about 15 minutes into the show when my motivation hit an all time high.  I decided that when the episode went off, I would throw my hair in a pony tail and GO.  I did, and it felt awesome.  I worked out for an hour and a half.  I actually had my hair done cute yesterday, it was down and curly...but I said...up you go and off to the gym I went.  Hubby was so proud of me.  I'm not sure why it takes me so much convincing to go to the gym by myself, but I had fun and it felt great.  So, I went again today for another hour and a half.  I love the look on hubbies face when I tell him I went to the gym, he's so excited that I'm finally getting out and doing it.  I'll be honest, I've been using the excuse that I'll workout after we have our baby home.  I'm sure it would take a few months before I would actually get there after bringing baby home, so I guess that was my excuse.

I've also been painting this week, on canvas this time.  I finished the hippo yesterday and giraffe today.  I love the way they turned out, although hubby does call my hippo vampire teeth.  Oh well, it's still cute.  When I was showing hubs tonight, he said, you making yourself a new business?  And that I have to sign my name at the bottom.  That's a bit weird since I'm just hanging them in my child's room...what would I sign...mommy?  LOL.  It is a really cheap project because I have all the paint and brushes, all I have to do is find the canvas which is 1.29 Euro for the small ones and 1.99 Euro for the big ones.  That's it, well other than having to go on the Internet to find my inspiration picture...that's the hardest part.  It takes about 6 hours to paint each piece.


Have a great day!
