be active!

I recently moved to LA and am starting work here next week. When I was living in SB, I walked to and from work two times a day (home for lunch). I feel like that really got me awake and ready for the day. So now I need to figure out a plan for getting energy and starting my day right…Just rolling out of bed and into the car isn’t going to help me to be alert and ready to take on a new job. I think my only option (because of time) is Yoga @ home. SO, here’s my plan: On days that I work, wake up, eat something small and do some yoga. On the other days, I will swim in the morning. Hopefully this will work for me.

swimming, pilates, extending the walks, eating less cake, making more plans to go out, seeing more people, doing more stuff, jumping around? not quite yet but maybe this week, screwing (slightly) more often, maybe I need a separate goal on this…

I want to feel good in my body, to shake off the lethargy and get moving, dancing, feeling sexy again.

Today I took a bike ride and I also did about 45 pushups!! Woohoo :) Have a good day, everyone!

Today I took my dog for a walk :) It was beautiful outside, and she was so excited to sniff EVERYTHING!

I’ve tried it once.
It’s not too bad. It took me ~ 35-40 minutes to get to work while driving would take me 15 to 25 minutes with traffic lights.
But it’s getting cold and day is shorter.
... mm…

I got up and went for a long walk. Over an hour. That’s a big step for me.

So this quarter for school, I signed up for an aerobics class two days a week and have been swimming afterwards. I am also starting to go rockclimbing and have been walking more as well. It all still feels forced but I am slowly realizing how much better my day is if I work out :)

I’m also keeping up in class, cooking, doing a research assistant position on campus, annnd enjoying life!

Gotta keep movin…

So far so good! I have gone to the gym for three days in a row now. Lets see if I can keep this going!! Surprisingly though, now that i’ve started going at the same time everyday it seems harder to not go than to go. I feel the endorphins kicking in too :)

Also, when the rock wall opens at my gym after new years, I am going to do the belaying clinic with my boyfriend and start rock climbing as a workout too!

And swimming :) Gotta have the full body workout…
