Y. . .because it feels so good!

Today I got home from work and instead of watching TV or getting on the internet (FB) I put on my Nike Free runs, my Nike workout shirt and some shorts and hit the YMCA! The pool was crazy busy so I passed up that today and opted for a treadmill workout. 20+ minutes then I did strength training and concentrated on my shoulders, back, triceps and biceps!! Yeah, I might be really sore tomorrow. ..and that's how I like it!

I am in the process of making a really cute weekly workout board. I am wanting to buy some great motivational workout posters for my workout room so I can really stay motivated! I have my pole in my room for my pole fitness and I did a big vinyl mural to decorate it up a little. ..whatcha think?

I'm going to decorate in zebra print, black and magenta pink! It's going to be so cute once I get it all done. A litle at a time :) I gotta get my resistance bands and dumbells set up too and eventually a flat panel tv to use for P90X and stuff while I work out! WHOOHOO!

I've been working out. .just not blogging about it

I joined the YMCA! I pretty much joined for the opportunity to utilize their lap swimming :) I am really out of shape when it comes to swimming. The first day I went I could only do about 3 laps (300 meters). The second time I went I had my own lane and could swim at MY pace with a few more breaks in between lengths. . .so I did about 6 laps (600 meters), I will slowly build up to where I want to be.

I also enjoy their indoor track! I ran/walked on it the other day and did about 1/2 mile but that was because It was the same day I had swam so I didn't want to overdue it. So despite me completely forgetting to blog about my latest workouts I am doing it AND enjoying it!!

Getting started again. .

I feel like I repeat "getting started" a lot. haha, but the key is I don't stop and then just 'give up'. Even if I have to start over with my workout goals every couple of months that just means I don't get frustrated and say "to H3LL with it" LOL

Sometimes I feel discouraged and sure I'm not perfect at my working out. . but what I do is better than doing nothing. HOWEVER, that being said, It's starting to get REALLY nice here and just the other day I did an hour pole workout along with a nice walk/run around my new neighborhood :) I stopped in at the YMCA to look into a membership. They have a pool and LOTS of workout machines, free weights, an indoor track and many different classes. The monthly dues are a little steep but since it has the pool and the indoor track AND weights then I'm tempted.

HERE"S TO "starting again"
