we haven't done one of these in awhile. How's everyone doing? Any races or goals coming up?
Confession: I haven't done a single thing since the last week of July. Yep, over a month ago.
My fitness class at work ended, then we went to the beach (where I of course had all intentions of working out a few days....number of days I actually worked out = zero), came home from beach, Brian had his surgery, I've been sick, blah blah blah. I know, there's always something right? I realized last week that I needed to get back into the groove now or it would be that much harder, so I bit the bullet and signed up for that fitness class again at work. It's going to be harder to make it a priority now that the students are back I really need to carve out the time, but I'm hopeful that paying for it will give me the motivation I need.
Re: Exercise post
I am right there with you. And I have baby weight to still get off. I am so mad at myself that I still do but does it motivate me to exercise or stop feeding my face? No. DH and I tried to do the paleo thing the other week. I hated it. He likes it and is still doing. I got these 310 nutrition shakes online as I was looking for soemthing like shakeology to take for lunch but wanted cheaper. They are not that great and I still end up hitting the work vending machines. I do start a zumba class tomorrow night. So maybe that will get me motivated to stick with it. Rambling here.
Where are you 21 day fix ladies... Are you still liking it? I am tempted to order that. But DH might kill me after I signed up for WW the other month and stopped. Then these 310 nutrition shakes. No wonder the diet and fitness industries are doing so well.
Last night I volunteered for Market Day at Mason's school and carried boxes of food around. Does that count?
So yeah, I haven't been doing much of anything. I did a 5k a few weeks ago, but walked the whole thing. Actually I started out joggging, made it about 1/4 of a mile, then walked.
I really need to get back at it!

I've been trying to do Zumba 2 nights during the week but it's been hard to get to my weekend class. So many things going on and dh working overtime is making it hard!
I did start insanity last week. I'm not doing it everyday! But figured I would give it a try on days I can't go to Zumba or run.
My allergies have been killing me so it's hard to get motivated! I'm exhausted!
DH and I both decided that we are interested in trying yoga. He jumped in and has been trying a number of places around town. I would really like to do some on my own before I go to a studio. We're debating whether to try to go at different times, or pick a class each week to do together & hire a sitter. Not sure yet.
If anyone can suggest good online or on demand yoga resources, please let me know.
