…when you’re having fun…? I guess it’s been fun! 
Wow, I cannot belive it is already JULY! Where did June go???
I had mentioned before that I joined the Y’s Summer Membership in hopes to get my workout on… and boy did I ever! In June, my goal for the month was to work out 20 out of the 30 days. So, did I do it…? Damn right I did! But barely. Last night was day number 20. Normally, on Tuesday nights I play softball and we were not scheduled a regular game last night… I’m guessing because it’s the week of the 4th… but we were going to play a game to make up for a game that got rained out a couple of weeks ago. So, I’m pumped, because I know this softball game is going to help me accomplish my 20 days goal. So, we were supposed to play at 8:25 and at about 7:30-ish I get a text from the team manager “No game! Sorry, read it wrong!” I was beyond annoyed! I didn’t want to fail the goal I had made for myself. So I’m sitting there thinking, “shit… it’s almost 8pm and now I have to go to the gym. What am I going to do…?” So, I did something I HATE… I went running. I hate running. For a few reasons, one, I have big boobs – it is not fun to run! Second, I have flat feet – well, not COMPLETELY, but really, hardly no arches, so when running for an extended time period, I get shin splints like no other. But, I did it. I just needed to hit my 20 days, I refused to miss it by ONE day. So, I ran. And I did some lunges, squats, and ab work. I was dead afterwards, but I was really proud of myself.
Being that it’s July, I have come up with some new goals for this month.
Goals for July:
1. Get in 1,200 minutes of activity (that’s roughly 39 minutes/day)
2. Focus on food! Make healthier choices!
I know, not many goals, but I religiously watch antishay on YouTube and she’s had GREAT success and suggests making small changes so they stick. I think it’s a great idea, otherwise, it becomes so overwhelming that we (or definitely I) fall off the weight loss wagon. So, small changes it is. Last month – I focused on activity. It went well and I feel like now, it’s just part of my routine. Monday’s I take my kettlebell class, Tuesday is softball, Wednesday and Thursday I either take a class or do the elliptial and weights, Friday I rest, Saturday I do BodyPump and Sunday I rest. Routine. Yes, there I times I switch it up a bit. But that’s usually what it’s been looking like. And now I don’t DREAD working out. There are still times it’s a struggle to GET THERE, but once I’m there, no biggie. The hardest part for me is just getting out the door. But, I’ve just been making myself. I feel so much better now that I have some activity in my life. Before I joined the Y, I would work until 5pm – come home and be soooo tired, I’d usually fall asleep on the couch watching tv, eat dinner, shower, then go to bed. What a BORING life! It’s not life, actually. Now, I feel like I actually am a productive human being. That’s a good feeling.
And, just because I feel like it… here’s a face to my name:
This is me and the boyfriend at a Twins Game a couple of weeks ago.
That’s all I’ve got for now – I hope you all have a wonderful day!
