exercise daily

I can’t believe I haven’t done this in a month. I can’t seem to be able to keep this up for anything.

I did a little yoga today. Maybe I’ll just tell myself that a little bit is enough as long as its something. I’ll do more on days I feel like it, but if I don’t then I just don’t.

I did a 55 minute work-out on wii fit but it wasn’t very intense at all. I realized that I need to do back strengthening exercises daily now so I’ll have to try those out and set up a morning/evening routine, I guess/hope. I need to not be embarrassed to do it in front of my roommates and/or get my damn ass down to the gym, already.

Although I’ve been good about exercising for the past 12 years I have gone through quite a few times of falling off the exercise wagon. My goal is to be good about getting some form of exercise every day, whether it’s something formal (treadmill, weights yoga) or informal (raking leaves, taking a walk or washing floors). Today I took a long walk by the ocean, the waves were spectacular and it didn’t even feel like exercise.

Its been a few days!!

Considered a Lapse? Relapse?

So… Got an ingrown toenail cant do much with that can we?

And… Missed both school and work. Got diagnosed with Strep Throat!! Most aweful thing ever!! Almost as bad as when I had mono!!

Waiting for a full recovery and back to the gym I go!!

The reason I would like to undertake “physical activity” as part of my behavior change, is because I have gained a significant amout of weight in the past 2-3 years, and because I am in the worst shape of my life. Although I have always been a “big girl,” I have been in better shape. Ever since I graduated high school, I have become in a way more lazy and don’t eat as healthy, but I believe that exercising more, will help me even out those differences.

I will get up earlier each weekday morning to exercise for at least 40 minutes. I’ve noticed that I seem to stick w/ morning workouts better…even if I don’t like the missing sleep.

Guess I’ll just have to go to bed earlier. NP (:

we have a gym in our school. i’ll see what i can do with that

- Do some jump rope everyday. It burns soooo many calories!
- Do the ten minute jump rope routine (as seen on sparkpeople.com, twice this week.
- Go for two walks
- Go for one hike

- Additionally…
- Makes some new play lists to listen to while exercising.
- Look up more swing dancing moves(esp. Charleston Stroll)

I finally did 7 days of exercise in a row. :-) Everyday I did a combination of jump rope and exercise bike (except for today). I also went for several walk during the week and a big walk today of 90 minutes (lots of hills).

advantages so far
- more energy (especially when i feel like napping during the day)
- feel happier
- gives me time to escape family :-p
- gives me time to listen to new music on my mp3 player.
- I’m slowly getting more fit.

I tried out a couple more moves (oblique elbow taps, alternating bridge, quadruped, etc.) today. I’m going to combine them into an actual workout by picking my favorites/the most intense ones. But mostly, I just danced today and yesterday. Not for long enough to be considered a workout but long enough to make make my abdomen cramp during it.
