Exercise!

March 6, 2010

I’ve finally gotten around to the ‘healthy’ part of my resolutions for the year. It only took me 2 months. lol I actually joined the Omni Gym about a week ago since they were having a special where the sign up fee was only $1. Normally it’s $179 so I really couldn’t pass it up. What surprises me is that I’m actually using the membership. We have two in the area so I got the membership for both and my sister was already a member so I’ve gone both with her and by myself. In the past week I’ve actually gone a total of 4 times which is amazing for me because I normally crap out after 1 or 2 visits. But I figure since I’m paying for it monthly I may as well get my money’s worth.

I have to say I’ve forgotten how sore you get when you first start working out. My legs are so mad at me right now. lol I’ve been using the elliptical and the treadmill for my cardio as well as some of the other machines that I actually know how to work. I also tried a yoga class and I have to say that yoga really kicked my ass. I’m not sure if it was because I was just sore from not being used to working out or what, but it just about killed me. Anyway, I’ve also started to try watching my diet as well and I’m drinking more water. We’ll have to see how it works out in the long run, but I’m pretty proud of myself at the moment. :D

Small Update

June 8, 2009

There’s really not much going on around here. I’ve just been going to my last two classes and working. I’ve also been doing some job hunting so we’ll have to see how that goes. I really hope I can find something decent so I can start to really make a dent in my credit card bills. It really sucks when you see how much money you paid for school. :/ Oh, well.
I’ve also started a new exercise routine. Since I can’t really afford a gym membership right now I bought some exercise dvds. I bought Core Rhytms from Target last week and I have to say I was really sweating. I like that it’s a pretty quick workout that you can feel and don’t need extra equipment for. It’s really annoying to have to buy exercise balls or yoga mats or barbells. It came with 4 dvds the last one was a waste because it’s a latin dancing dvd that requires a partner but the others are great. I’m going to try to keep track of my progress and see how it goes. I’m not really trying to lose weight so much as keep in shape. We’ll see. :D
