start exercising regularly

I wanna be fit and healthy, especially before I go off to college :)
I need to take better care of myself and exercising is a good way to relieve stress!

This past week Phil [boyfriend] and I have done quite well exercising. We’ve been using our apartment buildings fitness room, along with bike rides and hiking in Glacier Park. Our trip to Peru in August has been a large motivator for me to get fit and healthy; I need to be able to hike distances in the high altitude without feeling like I’m going to die. I’m getting there though, and it feels really good to be working out.

Must begin ninja training, the future is now.

Phil [boyfriend] and I have started exercising much more regularly now that we’ve finished moving into our new place. On Monday we used the fitness center in our building for over an hour, yesterday we did a 14 mile bike ride in Glacier Park with his mother and uncle, and today we went in the fitness center again. We both feel really good at how much we’ve done; we just have to keep it up!

Me and Julie [friend] went to a self-defense class yesterday, at a new gym in town. It was a five hour long class that had us working out, punching, kneeing, jumping rope, and learning about nutrition. I’m so sore today, but I feel good about working out and it has given me motivation. This week I’m going to try to work out as much as I can; tomorrow me and Phil [boyfriend] have even planned on a bike ride.

I really need to change my lifestyle in regards to eating and exercise. I’ve started to gain weight recently and it’s freaking me out; I believe that’s going to be my motivation to actually change. Tomorrow I will buy some healthier food when I go shopping, and write a plan of action. My goal is to not only look better, but feel better too.

I decided that I would like to start exercising just five minutes a day as a first step towards ‘exercising regularly’. Five minutes out of my day shouldn’t be too hard, right?

I’m starting to do this. I was doing really well but then I got sick and 3 days of lying around and i was out of habit. I got a kickboxing DVD with a bunch of 10 min mini workouts…and each workout i do i give myself a dollar to go shopping to get some hot clothes to go with my hot bod im working towards….but i gotta get back into a steady rythm again…. Why is 10 mins of excercise so hard??

This goal goes along with my goal to get up earlier. Think if I set a certain time to work out then I’ll be more likely to do it. Right now I’m just trying to fit in a half hour workout during the day. It’s not much and it’s not every day yet but it is something.

Started a healthy eating plan about two weeks ago in earnest, started exercise plan last week. I didn’t do so well last week, but I’m still kicking. I’m down 5 lbs. so far. Go me. Need to work on blogging about my progress more often.
