Try to get some form of excercise every day.

I think I can mark this one off, and I’m so proud!
For the entire month, I’ve been waking up at 6 every morning to do 30 mins of core workouts and an hour of swimming before school, and doing an hour of cross country running every day after! I couldn’t do it by myself, and my team mates and friends are what keeps me from skipping a day or backing out. Sometimes it’s so tempting to turn off the alarm and just go back to sleep, but if I skip a day of swim I know I’ll feel soo bad after, and once I’m actually out of bed it’s not so bad at all. I hope everyone can feel as good as I do now, and that I continue to stay fit and healthy!

I prefer to be happy, feel happy, relax, sleep well, and exercise does that. I know this, and yet I just don’t take that first step. Somehow I think of the pain, and the time I need to spend, and I forget all about it and while away my time doing something meaningless, which only makes me more upset, because I think more about my goals and how I’ve not achieved them.

move around

Even though I’ve tried to lately, I haven’t really followed through. So now I am totally going to, no matter what. It’s really not so bad, because once I start some form of excercise I get really into it. It’s just a matter of starting the activity! I can SO do this… =]

Between work and school it can be hard to fit exercise into my busy schedule, but its time for me to get back into shape and lose some weight.

Just Run, it gets funner the more you do it. And update the ipod music. Then run

I’m going to try to get up earlier and go for a walk in the morning. If I get up between 4:15 & 4:30 I can walk for 30 minutes – that at least is something. I found this great trail I’ve been dying to check out, so I’m going to do that when it’s not raining and see if I can manage to do it every day it’s not raining.

Now that the nice weather is here, I should be getting out. It’s just that I feel guilty leaving the house while my husband is working on the new bathroom. We can’t both fit in the room (it’s a closet, basically – just a half bath, very tiny) to work, so he’s doing the plumbing and stuff. I have to sand the trim and coat it with poly, but I can’t get in there to do it. So I can’t leave the house…

Since it was so gorgeous out, we walked everywhere this weekend. Saturday was already covered, but Saturday night we walked to a carnival about 1/2 mile away and walked around there for a few hours, then back, and same thing on Sunday. I found a great walking path I’ll be taking advantage of in the future, too. Off to a great start, moving more than usual. Monday we were having guests so I “speed cleaned”—work up a good sweat dusting and vacuuming in record time. It’s almost… dare I say it… fun!

Tearing out floor, walls and ceiling is hard work! We’re doing that to our half-bath and I’m working up quite a sweat. It will be worth it in more ways than one!
