Every DAMN Day


This has got to be my new motto. It's a dreary day here in VA and when it's this depressing out I want to do one of two things: 1) get in my pajamas, get under the covers and never leave or 2) shop shop shop. Today, I will be doing neither. I resisted the temptation of online shopping. I did ask the hubs to go to the outlets today because I want to look for workout clothes. He agreed...then I got to thinking. Crap, how will I fit in a workout? This is how out text convo went:

Me: Want to go to the outlets?
Hubs: Not really. But we can go if we run first.
Me: Ok! Or we can run around the outlets.
Hubs: Ha.
Me (20 minutes later): Nevermind. Let's just workout.
Hubs: Why?
Me: Cuz if we go shopping, I won't workout. I already know.
Hubs: Good Call.

I am kind of proud of myself for deciding to not go shopping because I do know that a workout will not be "fit" in. Every time we make a plan to workout after we do something, we always get too tired/lazy to actually hit the gym. That cycle ends today :-)

Today is Day 2 of Week 2 of the Couch-to-5K training. Since it's not raining (at this very moment at least), I will ask the hubs to run on the track instead of hitting the gym to run. I need to get used running outside and in the cold. Running on the treadmill is always so much easier for me...and it's extremely boring and unmotivating. I also plan on doing my TAM as soon as I get home. I hope to get some of the Dance Cardio (DC) in today since I haven't really done any since I restarted TAM but figured my 5k training can maybe take place of the DC.

Yesterday was a fairly good workout day. I did my TAM (no DC as I previously stated) but then did an hour of Body Flow at the gym. I LOVE this class - a mix of tai chi, yoga, and pilates. I work up a sweat, stretch out all my soreness, and feel so incredibly relaxed when class is over. Plus I kind of like the music that the instructor chooses. I do really need to work on my eating habits though. I am trying to incorporate a side salad with every lunch and eat one banana everyday. I drink a ton of water and have been cutting back on coffee and soda. I need to figure out how to get more fruits and veggies in my diet. Blech.
