No more lazy!

Today, I'm at work. As I am every Monday through Friday. But when I get home, here's the plan. I'm going to weigh myself and take my measurements. I haven't done that in a really long time, and I've gained 10 lbs since then, so it's not going to be pretty. But I'm determined.

With traffic I get home between 5:30 pm and 6 pm. (On really bad days 6:30 pm, yuck!) And when I do get home, I'm so tired and in need to decompress I usually don't get anything done at all. Plus I'm lazy which really doesn't help the situation.

Monday I usually go home after work. Then we either have a dance lesson or a church activity night, or something.

Now Tuesdays and Thursdays I go over to my friends house which is much closer to my work, and we workout together. We've been doing this for about a year and a half and I've seen no results as yet, but she's fun and enjoy hanging out with her and her family.

Wednesday I usually get home from work, and at 7 pm I go to a zumba class. It's like a 2 minute walk from my house so there's no excuse not to go.

Friday, the goal is to go dancing. But a lot of the time we are just too tired from the week and just stay at home. This is another good opportunity to do something, that I don't take up because I'm tired and lazy. Isn't it frustrating?

So I'm going to set some goals. Obviously I can't seem to set weight loss goals, but I can set exercising goals.

I found this on Pinterest. It's a 4 minute "Tabata" type workout: 30 second Burpies, 10 seconds rest, 30 second Mountain climbers, 10 second rest, 30 high knees, 10 second rest, 30 jumping jacks. Repeat twice. I got this great app on my phone it's called A HIIT Interval. You can program different workouts on it and it beeps at you when it's time to change activities. Here is where I got the idea.

I am going to start doing this every morning. I did it for about 2 weeks last February and it was great. Then I once again got lazy. But no more. Tonight I measure, tomorrow I start this. I'll also do my regular workout with my friend.

It's been so hot here lately that all we've been able to do is go for a 2 mile walk and then I get in the pool with her 20 year old daughter who I'm also friends with. We usually try to do a workout video as well as a walk. Hopefully the weather will cool off soon.

Anyways, once I get this going, I'll add some more to my trying to be healthy plate.
