Re: IN Get Fit Challenge
Hello! My H&F routine has been non-existent last week (oopsy) but moving, packing, unpacking and heavy box-lfting counts, right?
Things are looking good goal-wise 'cause this new building has a gym on the 23rd floor! Today I'll go up to join, get the card and get started. I might even raise it to 5 times per week.
QOTW: I don't think I ever clicked on the H&F board.
I'm holding still fitness wise as I'm in exam mode. But lots of random exercise like work (never stop moving and lots and lots of stairs). I had my first exam today and working all weekend so tomorrow I'll be going for a nice LONG run. I can't wait. I haven't run since Friday. Too long.
I like the H&F board. It's fine once you ignore a couple of painful know-it-alls.
I've been bad in the motivation to workout and not-eat-garbage categories. Though I am done buying unhealthy food (that's easy enough?) I'm not sure how to force myself to get to the gym. Hmm, thinspiration boards, perhaps? I kid, I kid.
QOTW: I lurk over there, but they all seem to be hardcore runners. I am so not a runner and can barely jog for 2 straight minutes, so I feel like a freak over there. I also am a low carb subscriber (in theory, at least!) so I feel like an outsider because of that, too.
I did my C25K stuff, and today I danced around my living room... a lot. It was fun.
QOTW: I don't. Why? Because I'm still more of a knottie than a nestie and this is the only nestie board I frequent right now.
"I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, My soul shall be joyful in my God; For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels." -Isaiah 61:10 NKJV
