Another day, another zumba

I'm pretty proud of myself so far. I've gotten up twice this week to do zumba before school! I'm going for three times, that will beat my personal best of the week I think... :/

Anywho. I'm actually liking this getting up and getting my exercise (at least cardio) out of the way. As I inch forward, I'll start adding strength but for now I think what I'm doing is sufficient. You don't want to push yourself too hard at first because then it's harder to stick to the plan. Easy does it, the tortoise wins the race!

I've been trying to eat healthier too, so I have fruit and cucumber at lunch and everyone mentions how healthy I'm eating. Well, I have to. I know that I'm overweight and its about time I did something about it, so exercise and eating healthy it is. I don't want to sound self-depricating in response so I just say thanks vs what I really want to say which is "I'm fat, I know. I'm trying to do something about it."

I think that is about all the exciting news I have for now.

39 days until Part I Boards! AHHH!!!!

5 am workouts

I love my sleep, so getting up early to workout is something special. It's just that I'm realizing that I'm going to have to put in major work to get rid of the fat that I want to. It is just so unfair that it is so easy to put on the weight and so hard to work it off! <whine> Well, that just means I have to keep getting up at 5 am and doing an hour of zumba or other exercise.

Right now I'm going to stick to zumba. It gets my heart pumping and is good cardio. I know that I'm going to need to do some strength training as well. I hate that 30 day shred, but I'll try to do that once a week or something just to mix it up. There's just something about that dvd that kinda rubs me the wrong way, it's hard to explain. Just like some of the attendings/professors at school, I'm just not a fan, let's just say that. Anyway back to zumba. That is something I can get behind, just as long as I get plenty of sleep the night before and set out my clothes so that I can just hop in them and get to dancing! Love it!

I've just got to get into a routine. Motivation gets you started, habit is what keeps you going. Thanks Pinterest. Off to the showers!
