Health has always been important to me. I'm thankful that I learned early that diets are a waste of time, and that its all about making healthy choices. I love to workout, even though it seems like a constant battle to fit it into my day. I hope to share about my workout habits in more detail (and with pictures!) in the near future, but for now, here's a brief run down of my routines (or routines I want to try to keep this time!).
Yoga is my favorite. Favorite favorite favorite. I've been practicing it since I was a freshmen in high school when I got to teach a class about it. I love the physical, mental, and spirital-ness of it all. Meditation really can help (ecspcially when you're as crazy as I am) calm your thoughts and your life and make all of it more enjoyable. I have a friend who is certified to teach classes (something I dream of) and I am dying to take a class with her.
I also try to fit in some strength trainging. I've been on again off again for a long time with it. I'm really puny so I definitely need to build up some muscles! We have a bowflex and my goal now is to work out on it for about an hour one day a week. That's not much. Just enough to give my body a little bit more of a challenge? We'll see how that goes.
I also like to walk and run (more walk than run honestly but I've always dreamed of running a marathon). I live in the most beautiful place with a fit-for-a-queen private walking trail that I don't use nearly often enough. It is hard to get out there when it's so frightfully cold outside. Perhaps when the weather turns I will become removitated to run.
One of my favorite workouts is to play on my pole. Yes, I have a stripper pole. No, I don't take my clothes off. Routines on a pole are cardio, strength training, and endurance all rolled into one workout. No Carmen Electra wannabe's please. But check out some videos of pole dance competitions, it really is a talent that takes incredible strength.
I pretty much eat whatever I want. My biggest problem is actually not eating enough (or not enough good stuff, and I find myself overwhelmed with takeout, sweets, and junk food.) Today was my first grocery shopping trip in months. I mean months and months and months. I'm glad to have food for workdays and to pack Jonathan's lunch. I hope to start cooking more often, so look forward to hearing of my successes and failures in the kitchen this year.
I'm done boring you all with my fitness mumbo jumbo now. Thanks for reading, or for skimming, or for just stumbling along with me even if you think I'm crazy. I am. But I wouldn't have it any other way. Goodnight for now.
