Hitting the Gym

I’ve hit the gym sporadically but I just have not had the energy to push weights along with pushing strollers every day.  However, I have been eating like I’m on vacation for the last TWO MONTHS.  I think I may have gained 5 pounds just in Tim Tam molecules alone*.  So I’m determined to at least start getting to the gym once in a while, even if it means dragging the kiddos along with me…

*Tim Tams, for those of you who don’t know, are the national cookie, er, biscuit, of Australia.  I think they are on their flag.  Oh wait, those are stars.  Anyway, in the grocery store in our building, there is a row devoted to all the 300 varieties in which Tim Tams come:  there’s the original chocolate (they’re basically a little rectangle of crunchy cookie wrapped in a candy bar coating of chocolate and a row or two of thin filling inside, very lo-cal!), white chocolate, dark chocolate, caramel, mint, etc etc.  They’re tasty, or they were tasty, until I realized that it was the only cookie they sell, and have been eating them since arrival.  I have a major sweet tooth, so in America I’ve figured out ways to satisfy it without a gargantuan calorie count, like bite size cookies and the like, but here it was basically Tim Tams or bust.  And busting out I am!
