Goal: Find a daily exercise regimen I enjoy
Lately, I've noticed my diet consists of a lot of binge snacking, unhealthy big meals, and wine and beer drinking after a long day, resulting in weight gain, resulting in lack of energy, resulting in moodiness.
So yesterday I decided to work out to the 20 minute Jillian Michael's DVD, starting all over at Level 1 (mind you I had already progress to Level 2 months ago). After 5 minutes, I wanted to quit. I realized aerobics or anything that involves intense movement is not for me. I managed to push myself through it, but this was not going to be a routine I can naturally build into my schedule. I just dreaded it too much. Bikram Yoga is too far of a drive, too expensive, and I was just too out of shape to withstand the heat. So I ordered a Yoga DVD on Amazon to arrive Monday. We'll give that a test drive.
Every Saturday morning the BF and I would laze around and eat breakfast and then watch HGTV until I fall asleep again or until I feel ready to go into the office and study the day away. Today, I decided that we take advantage of living near the beach and near downtown and take a walk to have breakfast. It was so nice! We walked 2.25 miles and stopped by a Jamba Juice to take a shot of wheat grass (because it's supposed to be a good form of detox or something) and then ate outdoors at La Creperie. We walked back another 2.25 miles and here I am enjoying my nice cup of homemade espresso latte to study the rest of the day. We've decided to make this part of our routine!
