Fitness Challenge

I want to get into shape. I’m not fat or anything and I am, in fact, quite happy with my weight. But I, like most women, have a few problem areas that I would like to tone up. I usually work out very occasionally and for as short a time as possible because, let’s face it, I’m lazy. So while I finally (after years of being unhappy even though I was a size 0) feel comfortable in my own skin, I want to be happy with what I see in the mirror and I want to feel strong and healthy. Plus I have a free gym in my building so I really have no excuse coughcough.

So here is my plan to getting fit and healthy:

Go to the gym everyday after work (only about 2.5 more weeks) and resting on the weekend. Hopefully this will encourage me to have some sort of routine and motivate me to go even when I don’t have a job and a set schedule to follow. I’m not planning on being too hardcore, but some cardio and a few weights would be a good start for me. And maybe FINALLY going to that yoga class that I said I would go to at the beginning of the summer.

I am the queen of making excuses, but not this time. Starting today, I will stick to my plan.

Unplanned Hiatus?

So I know that I just started this blog and all. And then I left it for a while. And now I’m back. Confusing much?

But I think when I started this, I just wanted a place to sort out my feelings. However, that does not make for a very good blog, because as confusing as my feelings were to me, I’m sure they were much more so to everyone else out there in bloggy-land (if anyone even reads this…I may just be talking to myself for all I know).

So I took a few weeks to figure things out and now I’m feeling much better. I am coming to terms with this whole newly-single thing and even had the willpower to turn down the Ex who told me how much he still loves me and wants to get back together (if that’s not a test of how far I’ve come, I don’t know what is). Of course, I am still ridiculously lonely, still very upset with the state of my friendships, and still job-hunting. But I am happy with the progress that I have made in recovering from my break-up and I feel some of my confidence returning.

Now, I want to take my mental energy away from relationships (or the lack of them) and be more productive by (finally) finding a job I am satisfied with, making some new friends, taking that yoga class I always wanted to join, and most of all…being happy again.
