A lil late, but still worth mentioning

Hey this is late. I know. I messed up my routine just a bit.

I've been working out in the morning and well this morning it got messed up. I hit snooze and I decided that I wouldn't have enough time to work out and get a shower. So instead I just did some of my reading for my EdFon class.

But no worries! I still found time to do my work out today. (Another thanks to my friend MaKenzie for checking up on me.)

I have a break between my morning classes and my water aerobics class. I get home around 1 and water aerobics is at 2:30. So as soon as I got home I got changed, grabbed my computer, and headed into my workout room. I was a bit nervous about this because to be completely honest I don't like working out. I feel like I'm a huge clutz and that I'm not doing them well. But dammit if when I get started I'm not working. It's true I take a few breaks here and there. I just can't go as fast as those beautiful people on my computer screen. (And by the way, why don't they ever show some normal looking person doing this?? That would make it more relatable.))

The workout: So yea I'm feeling nervous about working out just because I'm not in shape, but then I'm like I want to get in shape so I do it. That line of thinking. I was sore from the other days. I can feel it in my calves and especially in my thighs. But I figure, hey that's where I want to lose the most weight. Get off my stomach and thighs! Go on get! I feel good when I see a stream of sweat going down my arm. Gross I know. But it's something new for me. I think the last time I really worked out this hard was when I would lift weights with my dad. And that was back like my freshman year in high school. Yea. It's been awhile. But I felt pretty good today. The fit test was rough. And that plyometric cardio was rough. Today was too, but I felt like I could more of the exercises and do them well. I'm building confidence. Yay! (shakes metaphorical pom-poms in the air like I just don't care). Who am I kidding, even metaphorically speaking I'm not that obnoxious ;) But I did feel good about today.

The plan: But yea what I discovered is that I think I actually like working out in between my classes like that. I have just enough time to work out and get a shower with a lil extra time left over for, lunch? maybe? The thing I was contemplating though was yea that's all fine and dandy on Tuesday and Thursday because those are lecture days in water aerobics. But Monday/Wednesday/Friday are pool days. Can I hold up working out for 40 minutes, riding my bike over there, exercising in the water for 30-40 min, and then riding my bike back? Well hell I'm gonna try.

To be completely honest I find being in the water to be one of the most relaxing things in the world. I could just be in the water almost all the time. I don't want to turn into a prune or anything. But I think that I can manage the aerobics after my work out. It would be a sort of restretching plus a bit more cardio. And who doesn't love cardio?! :D

So that's gonna be my game plan: wake up and actually eat breakfast (since I haven't been eating breakfast), go to my two classes, come back home around 1, work out, grab a shower, dilly dally, ride over to water aerobics, workout/lecture, then ride back and collapse on the couch for an hour before getting back to my studies. Doesn't that sound like the exact schedule that you want to have?

Yea, no lol

Sidenote! I realized earlier today that since I had started my work out a day later than I wanted my off day is going to be Mondays. So that's kinda nice. Worst day. Don't have to work out. I guess I could change it in my schedule if I wanted to, but I don't really want to screw with anything. Just means I'll have to work out on Saturday and Sunday. What this also means though is that my progress weight, measurements, and a complimentary pictures of me will be posted on Mondays.

So look for that.
