JOINED THE GYM
Well I nearly had a heart attack when I realised I had not updated for around 2 weeks. I have been so very busy with everything at the moment. Bithday Party's, meetings, visitors, sick children and I joined the gym......
I had been looking into joining a couple of different gyms and in the end I joined Pelican Park in Hastings. I have been for my assessment, done a workout the next day and did water aerobics the day after that. I am really enjoying it. I havn't had Bailey in the creche yet - but I'm hoping he enjoys it so I don't have to rely on people to watch him for me to go. I joined up as a platinum member which gives me access to all classes, all aqua, and the gymnasium and the childcare is really affordable too. Anyway I am really happy with this although I am a little stiff and sore from my first couple of sessions. Must be that I havn't used those muscles in many years????
Going to see my pop in Shepparton this Weekend. Dad rang yesterday to say he is getting worse every day and that it was up to me if I did make the effort and go see him again. It is such a hard situation to be put in as I do want to see him and it will most likely be the last time - but I would also like to remember him as the fit and healthy man he was 4 months ago before this terrible disease hit. Anyway we are going to go there on Saturday (Corey for support as well) and I am not sure whether I will let the kids see him. I think I will make my mind up when I get there. Any one have any advice on what I do? Chloe 5 and Bailey 2.5 are probably a little young. They know old poppy Ian is sick, but maybe I should just leave it at that? They havnt seen him for 5 weeks and it is a big difference now. Anyway I suppose I will have to wait and see how I feel and whether Pop wants to see them too.
Have a 30th Birthday next weekend and then a wedding the weekend after so I am going to go and buy something nice to wear next week. I am also having my hair done on Monday and might also try and get my nails done too. It's nice to treat yourself every now and then (I don't do it often) so I will make the most of it.
Weight wise - I did not weigh in last week (sick kids) and feel like I have pretty much stayed the same. I have been having a few drinks here and there and not eating THE BEST. Anyway I will see how I go and let you know.

I'm so glad you joined the gym. I really enjoyed it leading up to the pregnancy and seriously cannot wait to get back into it full swing. I'm there at the moment but only at half strength and for me it's a little hard only being able to work to a minimum of capability. I'll get used to it but I'm really missing the classes like step, combat and the boxing circuit!! Not suitable to pregnant women! Way to physical!!!
Sorry to hear that your pop has deteriorated. Like Alea said it's up to you and hubby to decide if the children go. I've never been put in that position but in saying that my sister took her kids to see my Nan before she passed away and they were fine with it. Jake was 4.5 and Ashley was 3. But it's entirely up to you and hubby. It's a very personal decision I think. Hope all goes well with whatever you decide and although you only want to remember him as the healthy Pop you will find those memories will override any bad ones anyone. They did with me. When you reflect on the funny memories or the special things that he did when you were growing up - those memories are the best and probably the easiest to remember. Sorry I've rambled on enough. Good luck and take care of yourself. XX

Woohooo glad to see you back! Sounds like we are close by and should catch up sometime. I'm in sth Frankston. Gym sounds great and that childcare is so handy huh. If you are working hard enough you should burn after every single workout no matter how long you have been doing it. (this is what they tell me anyway) sounds sick but you do end up looking forward to it because you know you worked hard.

Yeah!!!!! Kysa!! You're Back!!!
I have checked in practically everyday to see if you had posted! Lol
Great to hear you joined the gym, I think it's a good move. Wish I could join, just don't have the funds at the moment.
All my love to your Pop and you and your family. It is really your decision whether your children go to see him, I know it's worrying. Children can suprise you though.
All the best to you for the week ahead
Hugs

Welcome back Kysa - we missed you! Like Ley, I've been popping by regularly to see what you've been up to!
Hope the trip to Shepparton to see your pop is a good one this weekend and hope that he is doing okay.. difficult to know what the best thing to do is until you're actually there. Trust that whatever decision you make will be the right one.
Also, great news re the gym! If you're anything like me, when you find the one you like, you tend to go lots!!
Take care Kysa..
Trisca.. xo

Good to see you back hun. I'm sorry to hear about your Pop...my love and thoughts go to him, you and your family. When my pop was really ill, I made the decision that I wanted my kids to remember how he was, not as the frail and sick person he was just before he passed away. It was hard but I feel, in our situation that I made the right decision. I think it's a personal choice hun and you'll know what to do.
Good on you for joining the gym! Gotta love the soreness after a good workout...LOL
