My new workout Schedule!
26 years ago

Well, I thought I would share my workout history and what I do now!
In high school I was in colorguard but I never really believed it did much to keep me in shape. I thought I just had an awesome metabolism. Well, I was wrong as I found out after HS when I put on about 20 lbs because I did nothing. Now, two years after HS I’ve started getting into working out.
First I tried running some, but I hate running so that didn’t last long. Then I signed up at 24 Hour Fitness and tried taking yoga classes, but I found them to be too boring and I felt like I wasn’t losing any weight from them. Then I tried a Turbokickboxing class there and WOW! That was an awesome workout, but I think too exhausting for me.
So right now I’m going to 24 hour fitness on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on my way home from my one class of the day and doing about 30 minutes on the elliptical machine. So far I’m really enjoying it! Each session it says I lose between 200 and 300 calories, I try to keep going until I lose 300 calories. It’s not much I guess, but it’s a start. 
Sick, and not in a perverted way.

Since around Saturday, I have been feeling a bit under the weather. At first it was just a sore throat, but around Monday my nose started getting sniffly, and yesterday a cough and serious stuffy nose set in. Now I’m miserable, drinking pukey TheraFlu and blowing my sufficiently raw nose all morning long.
Mike is on a new schedule for school, and I must say it’s pretty sucky. He goes Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday mornings from 7-11:30, and then Thursday afternoons until 4:30. His job can’t give him Thursday nights off because two other people have night school that night, so Thursdays are the killer day for him as he has to work from 5:30 until closing (usually around midnight). :depressed: So far, they have been giving him Mondays and Wednesdays off of work, which is really nice because he doesn’t have school those days, and I don’t have work. So after I finish up with school around 1 (when he’s waking up) I head over and we spend the afternoon and evening together. I am also taking a Pilates/Yoga class (called PiYo) with the vampires at 24 Hour Fitness on Mondays and Wednesdays, so it gives Mike an excuse to get out and workout. It’s so awesome how our schedules seem to meld like that. They even gave him a Friday night off a couple of weeks ago. :shock:
In other news, I did my taxes and I should be getting a hefty lump of money from the Feds. :star: The state is giving me $4, haha. Thanks Governator. I’m already planning what clothes and shoes I am going to spend this money on, but half of it will be going to register Baby Black for another year. :depressed: Ah, the joys of auto ownership. I always look forward to summer not only because I have no school, but I can work more, which means I can buy items that I’ve been putting off, like seat covers for my car (save the interior!), shoes (Currently I have 1 pair that fit), T-shirts, etc.
That’s my boring life in a nutshell. And an update on the Bio fiasco, I just took an exam on Monday… and scored 84%. 
YAY a B! Hopefully my grade will go up *_*
Working out is hard to do.

[21:46] Erin: i’m fat too, yayyy
This reminded me of my workout routine that I keep forgetting to mention. I hate cardio. Let’s admit it, anything that makes me sweat more than I do while sitting in front of a computer is ebil to me. So, as you may infer, I’m not a fan of the cardio, and as such I’ve gained about 25 lbs in the past 2 years. WHOA JUMP BACK JACK FLASH. Actually, that’s probably not true. It’s probably more like 15 lbs.
Part of it is because I’m growing (yes, I’ve grown since HS. I graduated somewhere between 5’4″ and 5’5″, but I’m a good 5’6″ now) but part of it is because I just don’t exercise, and that ain’t good for nobody. I figured I’d work on some sit-ups because hey, I don’t mind doing them, I can SIT while I’m doing them, and they can’t be bad for me, right? Maybe they don’t help that much, but they can’t hurt. So I started out with 3 sets of 20 (give me a break, this comes from a girl who can’t run 10 feet, lol) and I plan on progressing as far as I can go. So far I’m up to 3 sets of 40 a night, at least 3 times a week. I really should do them everyday though. 
Let’s hear it for the fat people. :cool:
