Today we hear from Loralie…
10 Things that Happen When You (Finally) Get Back to the Gym
- The friendly ladies at Karing for Kids (FREE child care for members) tell your daughter how long her hair has grown.
- You notice that they reupholstered all the workout benches (black is slimming.)
- You forgot how stationary bikes are an excellent way to catch up on Facebook.
- You don’t remember getting this sweaty this early.
- You didn’t realize you miss getting sweaty.
- By the way–who are all these people?
- Wow, you can still do this–you’re pretty awesome…
- You’re all done but you still have 20 minutes of child care left at Karing for Kids, which means… uninterrupted smoothie break. WooHoo!
- You run errands with your child afterward in your sweaty workout clothes and whenever you run into someone you know you humblebrag about what a mess you are because you’ve just been to the gym.
- You are very, very, very sore the next day, but it’s okay because it merely proves you are still one bad mamma jamma.

When Loralie isn’t out exploring with her two pint-sized adventurers you’ll often find her in front of her computer plotting to take over the world (or at least Lake County.) She appreciates good friends, good food, expensive shoes and parents who make two lanes in the drop-off/pick-up line at school. Her spirit animal is The Hobbit. She invites you to join her on her quest for unique distractions, diversions and deliciousness in this county we call home.
