workin on my fitness...


"...I blow kisses"

Oh, Fergie.  In case you didn't get my reference, listen to the song "Fergalicious".  I wish I was cool enough to have a song called "Cait-a-licious".  No?


Anywho.  My sister concocted a wonderful little challenge for us bloggers.  It started yesterday.  30 days of at least 30 minutes of exercise.  I read it and thought "Perfect!".  Back in January my mom and I joined one of our local gyms.  I have been good about going especially since we started taking spin classes.  Classes are my kind of work out.  I need loud music, someone to push me, people to compare myself against, and a challenge.  Spin class?  Check, check, check and check.  My mom and I go three times a week.  So here is where Miss Stephanie's challenge comes in...  I usually only work out on those days I go to spin class.  My goal for these 3o days is to continue what I'm doing, do more workouts on our Fitness on demand channel and maybe take other classes at our gym a little more out of my element.

Currently, I'm on day 2 and tonight I am doing some yoga courtesy of Fitness on demand.  Yesterday I had spin class for one hour and it was Wednesday so it was a double whammy.  A weights class after sculpting.  Today I would usually do nothing as far as exercising goes because after wednesdays' workouts I am SORE.  So I think that pushing myself tonight to do some lightweight yoga will be just the thing.  I also want to become a little more conscience of what I'm eating during these 30 days.  I want to break the fast food habit and eat mindfully, not out of convenience.

On another note...look what the wonderful Urban Outfitters sent me today :)


Curtains for my closet!!  Sorry for the crap quality...I took the picture with my laptop and the lighting in my room is horrible.  But I love these little curtains.  I got shams to match as well!  My only complaint...$36 for one panel.  And they are so THIN.  I probably could have made them myself for a lot less money, but I haven't sewn anything other than pointe shoes since 7th grade when I made a drawstring bag in home ec.

One more thing...I have made my decision as to where I will be finishing my undergraduate college education.

I'm pretty excited!  I'll be closer to my sister, at a school with a much better Business school, close to San Fran without actually being in the hectic city, and maybe actually get a bit of a college experience.  School starts August 24th over there.  Cal State Bakersfield doesn't get done with this quarter until June 12th...shortest summer ever :(.  But I'm pretty sure it will be worth it.

Well, time to go workout...don't forget to join us!  You can start up until the 9th.  Steph will be doing some sort of giveaway at the end!  Get motivated!

p.s.  Thank you blogger for not making me want to rip my eyes out while doing this post :)

I'm doing the challenege too... and it's going surprisingly well. Yay for us!! :)

the curtains are so cute. I love UO's curtains, it's too bad that they're so darn expensive.

I'm so excited for you and your new college adventure!! That is going to be amazing for you, being close to Steph and so many cool things. But, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't sad you're leaving us :(
mostly, I'm just excited for you though, and praying everything works out great :)
