Yes, it's me again, the reluctant blogger. So, it's been a while since I posted (seems to be a habit), but I'm still here.
Updates to know about: I quit the gym I belonged to and joined the local (well, newly local since we just moved) YMCA. It's slightly cheaper, but more importantly, offers a ton of cool exercise classes that are included in the monthly cost. AND, you don't sign up for classes, you can just drop in them which means I can switch in and out of classes as I please.
I went through the class schedule and picked out classes I could take (drop into) each night (m, t, w, th, sat)...giving myself 2 evenings off each week. Keep in mind, this will be in addition to my hour workout in the morning monday through friday. The goal is that if I get home after work and find myself bored or in need of some additional excercise, I can look at my schedule and say, "Hey look, there is a spinning class tonight at the Y. I can go do that!" This is by no means my making a stringent workout routine that will quickly leave me burnt out. It's outlining my options.
Second update: I have made a goal for myself this summer (see If I Were A Fit Chick facebook fanpage) or being able to swim 20 laps three times a week by Labor Day. So, the first thing to do was learn to swim! I start my first adult swim lesson tonight and I am so damn nervous. Right now, the extent of my swimming abilities is doggie paddling and it's time that I learned more.
And that, my friends is where I'm at this week. I've got goals, I've got ambition, and I've got all of you! Summer of Fitness here I come!!!
