fitness update




Well, I guess its time to update you all on my progress on this thing.

So, I honestly did really good up until about day 15.  I would have rocked this challenge's socks off if I wasn't so consumed with school right now.  School is obviously first priority.  But, I am glad to say that I definitely worked out at times that I normally wouldn't have.  The days that I didn't work out was because when I wasn't at school or doing homework I would have much rather been laying in bed doing absolutely nothing.  I still have 3 days left in the challenge.  Tomorrow I'll be at the beach with Thomas for our 2 1/2 year anniversary.  I'll be walking a lot?  Ha.  Wednesday I have school all day, so working out is probably not going to happen.  Thursday, the last day, I will probably go to the gym in the morning.  I have finals next week, thank goodness.  By then my stress and the madness will be hopefully nonexistent.  

It's definitely tough still being in school when everyone else is done WAY before you.  Motivation is hard to come by.

BUT!  I am so excited to work out this summer!  I already have so much that I want to do!  I'm playing in a little co-ed softball league with some girls from my work.  Have I ever played softball before?  Nope but I have a strong history of about 1 season of t-ball when I was four, so needless to say I'm feeling pretty confident.  Ha!  But hopefully it will be more about fun than anything else. :)  I also took a class with a different spin instructor at our gym that I LOVE.  She challenges me so much and I can't wait to take her class more when school is out and keep getting better at it.  I have a little schedule in my head for this summer of classes at the gym.  Hopefully work doesn't get in the way of that too much.

So here is my official tally for the 30 days of Fitness.  Some days I worked out for much longer than 30 minutes.  Spin classes are an hour.  Other days I counted work because I'm constantly moving at work walking around the restaurant which I figured was better than absolutely nothing and calories were most definitely burned from being on my feet for more than 4 hours.

So yeah basically downhill from day 15.  But I'm proud that I'm more active than I was.  So in my book, I'm a winner.

How did you do if you participated?  Am I as much of a failure as I feel I am? haha
