Ok, so it has been quite a while since I posted. I have been extremely busy with my classes, my health, and my boyfriend. Amazingly, I’ve managed to do pretty well with continuing my workouts. Currently, I am up to about my 42nd workout. I started volunteering with the local humane society (mostly walking the [...]

So, I am up to my 23rd workout. Actually, I missed several days due to having 4 midterms this week. However, I managed to get through all of them and still fit in several workouts. Now, the more exciting news is that I have a boyfriend! We have been dating for around a week and [...]

Nice! I finally found some time to give myself a home facial (and a nice bath). It’s always great to have a little pampering and relaxation. Right after, though, I got back to studying. I have gotten a few homework assignments finished over the weekend. I’m not as far ahead as I’d like to be [...]

OK, so I’ve missed a few posts. I have been obscenely busy with classes this last week. However, I have exercised nearly every day (I did miss two days this week, but it is good to rest once in a while), and I am up to my 17th workout! I have definitely managed to keep [...]

Another day, and yet another class. It was horrible to wake up on a Saturday and go and take this class. However, it was worth it. It was a very hard class (after the first 1/2 hour, I started having to take breaks and modify some of the moves by slowing them down or making [...]

My 12th workout was done on the same day as my 11th workout. Therefore, my 12th workout was much less intense than my earlier workout. However, I still got my heart rate up and did a bit of cardio. My buddy and I started out doing some rowing. I’d never tried it before, so it [...]

Today I did an afternoon workout (12:30 to 1:30) with my second buddy. I honestly have always preferred working out in the evenings, but I am kind of starting to like getting my workout in earlier. Racquetball was our focus today. We put in about 40 minutes of pretty intense racquetball. My second buddy is [...]

I got to try something really cool yesterday. Instead of the normal routine, my second buddy and I went to a “street”/”hip hop” dance class. Considering I rarely even hear any “street” music except when I’m flipping through radio stations, it was a totally unique experience for me. Also, it was freaking hilarious! My buddy [...]

This was my second workout in one day! Fortunately, I did the cardio work earlier, so we started out with some weight training. I generally do more reps with less weight to help tone my muscles. I spent about 25 minutes using the machines, doing crunches, and working with a long weight bar. Then, my [...]

Well, I had another good workout today. I actually worked out today with my second workout buddy. She prefers having shorter workouts, so I only did 20 minutes of using the elliptical machines, 15 minutes of using the treadmill, and 5 minutes stretching. However, I am planning on going back for a class tonight, so [...]
