I know it's been awhile since I last updated, but that doesn't mean that I've necessarily been slacking on my goals to exercise more and eat better. Overall, I'm still as motivated as I've ever been.
A couple weeks ago I signed up for the about.com 30 day exercise challenge. It only took me a few days to realize that this wasn't the best idea for me. I made that decision not because I couldn't do the exercises or anything like that, it's just that I happen to like my own routine. I go to the gym on Monday, Wednesday and Friday each week. I plan my meals. I walk my dog a lot. I still have homework. It just didn't work out.
But, I discovered something that is becoming a bit of a personal challenge for me. On Mondays at my gym there is a thirty minute step aerobics class followed by a fit barre class, which is mostly weight training. I went once and while it was exhausting, it felt incredible to finish. I have a sneaky suspicion that I will be attending this class as time allows.
In regards to eating, I am doing well with that also. The menu planning and grocery list thing is really working out for me. I plan three dinners for the week, get the groceries for it all, and that usually lasts me at least a week. My lunches and breakfasts haven't really changed with the exception of fewer granola bars and way more fruits and veggies.
All in all, things are going rather well.
