I love working out. Plain and simple. I love the endorphins and the feeling of knowing you did something great for your body. I have been a runner off and on for the last few years, and right now I am in the "off" season in my head. I just can't make myself do it. Last spring I was running about 30 miles a week, in between biking and swimming. Now? Nothing. What happened? I recently joined a gym for a month and I loved it. I love feeling toned and fit. And now? I've lost it all. My membership expired, I moved across the country, I am looking for a job, I don't have a car, and it's winter time. These are all reasons why I haven't been exercising. But are any of them legitimate? No.
Today I'm going to walk five miles, and on the second half of my journey, I am going to stop at the YMCA and join the gym. It is relatively inexpensive, and they have everything I want and need. It is a mile away from where I am living, so by walking there and back, I will already get 2 miles of walking in, plus the actual cardio/weight lifting I will do while I am there. My goal is that by April 1, 2011, I will be well on my way to being the fit/toned person I want to be.
My only problem is-making myself go to the gym. I realized today that since taking the bar exam two weeks ago, I have become extremely lazy. What happened? I went from being a busy, employed law student, to a busy employed law school graduate, to being a person who now doesn't even work out, despite having all the time in the world. I hate it, and I need to make a drastic change TODAY.
So this blog is going to include my daily trials and tribulations of making myself go to the gym and getting back into shape. I have been into working out for the last 7 1/2 years. I'm not about to change now! If I'm not going to run, and it is too snowy/icy to hike, then I will have to use the stationary bike and the elliptical and free weights.
If anyone has suggestions on work outs, please comment! I need all the help I can get to get out of my lazy mindset!
