Sorry this blog is so late... I sort of fell off the diet and exercise wagon for a week and a half. I'm in the process of getting back on it.
The reason for the motivation flop is well... the usual complete lack of results (seriously, NO CHANGE). On the somewhat bright side I do have an appointment with my counselor this week, so hopefully he'll be able to help me sort it out.
I have also reached the point where the dance classes aren't easy, because walking through the Mission after dark is not going to be very fun. Last time I went to class (err...before Hawaii) I made a friend who might be able to walk with me, but it's still a bit scary. I am planning on going tomorrow, and I do have 3 more classes purchased, so I'm GOING TO (I originally wrote that I probably would) go on Wednesdays for the next couple weeks. Maybe it will be okay walking through the sketchy neighborhood after dark, and I'll buy more classes and keep going (it is fun, and once a week sounds reasonably do-able).
Barring that (and in addition for the next few weeks) I am going to follow the Blogilates exercise calendar! I did yesterdays exercises, and they totally kicked my ass, but they were still fun (for exercise) and I felt super achieved afterwards. I am going to do the exercises listed everyday (when I don't go to dance, so not on Wednesdays). I'm going to try to do it in the mornings, because you know, sleepy brain doesn't know what's happening.
So here's the breakdown for this week. I know it sounds like a lot, but I'm thinking challenging myself
Monday: Blogilates (AM)
Tuesday: Blogilates (AM)
Wednesday: Dance Class (PM)
Thursday: Blogilates (AM)
Friday: Blogilates (AM)
Saturday: Blogilates (Afternoon)
My appointment with the counselor is on Friday.
Hoping to get the day off Tuesday for Election Day. Don't forget to vote!!!!
Oh and, happy 50th post!
I was like, What on earth is Blogilates??? But then I googled it and saw the website. Your schedule looks great - although I agree it's a lot. Maybe plan to do less time on some days, like 20 mins, 30 mins, instead of an hour every day. I like exercising in the morning, so hopefully you'll like it too. And then you can feel accomplished during the whole day!
ReplyDeleteI second your worry about the dance neighborhood :( Walking with someone else is a good idea. Just look confident!
I voted early last week so I am all set :)
Congrats on 50 posts!
