Alternatively titled: How I Plan to NOT Devour an Entire Can of Pringles in One Sitting
I like to work out - but only if I’m completely engaged and it doesn’t feel like I’m working out. That’s why I can only run {consistently} for a few weeks at a time before I’m like, Why am I doing this? Running is SO BORING. But, I don’t always feel like that. Like today, for instance, I cranked out four miles like it was no big deal. Fortunately, my dad is a runner, so it’s {oddly} in my blood. I’m one of those weird people who can not run for months and pull out a three-miler without so much as a wheeze. It’s strange.
We joined a gym in March and I also became OBSESSED with a dance/aerobics class call Jamz, set to popular hip hop music. I LOVE IT, but it took me a good two months to pick up on the choreography for each song.
Let’s talk about the first time I took the class…
I stood in the waaaaaay far back, right corner and chose NOT to raise my hand when the instructor asked if there were any newbies. I mean, I was a CHEERLEADER so this should be cake, right?! WRONG. SO SO SO SO WRONG. {Please note, I use the term “cheerleader” with a lot of sarcasm. No disrespect to the sport whatsoever, but I am almost six feet tall and my coordination rivals that of a toddler learning to walk. In rollerskates.}
When the class went right, I went left. Left into the wall of exercise balls. When the class mamboed, I cha cha-ed. Sister’s moves were lacking. It also didn’t help that this particular instructor had about a dozen or so groupies who love him and his class and are the smartiest smarty pants of the whole class, making everyone else looks like toddlers in rollerskates. Particularly me. But, I persisted and now fit right in. I stand in the second row, with an excellent shot of the mirror so I can watch just how awkward I will forever look despite how many classes I attend.
So, what was the point of all of that? Oh, yeah: fitness resolutions!
Since this body isn’t bearing children any time soon, I think I’d like to get in the best shape of my life. That’s not lofty or anything. But, why not? There’s no better time than now!
I actually think I need to eat better, first off. I do love me some Pringles. Truth: once I pop, I can’t stop. I also like chocolate. And wine.
I’d like to do another race. I did the Color Run 5k, but that was definitely a fun run versus speed or endurance! Maybe a half-marathon. I don’t know. That really sounds crazy, but it would be fun!
Anyway, Happy New Year! Go link up with Deedee and enter for a chance to win a fun prize! Come back tomorrow (like, say, midnight?) for a little New Years happy :)
