Finding the Mothership

When I first started doing spinning this fall, I was, how should I say this, surprised by how intense many of the other spinners were. No, I'm not talking about their level of exertion, although that is pretty impressive. It was their gear. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if I walked in one day and saw someone wearing a helmet while on their stationary bike. Many of them already wore the gloves! I felt out of place for a long time, until I bought a special workout shirt and spinning shoes for myself.

Today I ventured off to the Y where I used to swim in junior high. Since I'm a member of a Y with an AWAY program, I can use other Ys. That sounds so ritzy! I decided to attend a spinning class. I love spinning, but I also love poking fun at it. How then could I not deliver the following statement? I think I finally found my mother ship! No, people weren't talking about "wicked hard workouts." At this Y, everyone was dressed in large ratty t-shirts and beat up gym shoes. One lady was even wearing her boats. Ahhh...to be at home and to fit in! Except that I wasn't in a ratty t-shirt or beat up shoes. I was in my MA spinning gear, and now I was out of place for being dressed up. Hey, maybe I'll feel like I found my mother ship again when I return to MA.

For those of us who didn't get an instruction manual with our babies and for whom parenting hasn't always gone as planned. On a more serious note this blog is about supporting a woman's ability to make her own choices about parenting including the choice, for whatever reason, to bottle feed her babies formula.
