May fitness challenge

April’s fitness challenge was a total bust!  I had bronchitis most of the month, I tried to work out anyway.  That actually made it worse, so I went to the Dr., got some meds, was told no working out till I finished my meds.  So I said yes ma’am and followed orders!

But May is a new month, I’m done with meds, and ready to work out!!

I can’t really make myself a workout schedule like I did last month because I have NO idea what my schedule is going to look like from week to week.  I’ll probably be working full time this summer so who knows what my schedule will look like!

So instead of a structured schedule, I’ll just have to play it by ear week-to-week.  However I can make some general goals for myself!

Goal 1:
Work out 5 days/week.  This month I’d like to focus mainly on running, biking(before it gets too hot!), and yoga!!!

Goal 2:
Be able to comfortably run 5 miles by the end of the month. 

Goal 3:
To be able to do more yoga poses in yoga class without altering them

Rewards:
I’ve been jonesing to buy a bread machine!  I am an awesome baker, but one thing I cannot bake is bread.  I’ve tried and tried, but I’ve finally had to admit that I am just incapable of baking bread.  I used to use my mom’s bread machine all the time when I was a teenager.  I made not only breads, but also pizza dough, and dough for cinnamon rolls in that thing and they always turned out awesome.  So I did some research and read a ton of reviews and this is the one I decided I want!  Yay for fresh bread!

Misc…
I’m giving myself 3 free days this month in case I get sick.  If I need them, great.  If I don’t, even better!  If I don’t use any of them I’m going to throw in an extra little reward- I haven’t decided exactly what yet, but I do need some new makeup…

 

Ta-da!  May fitness challenge starts…. NOW!!

Crazy Lazy

That’s me.  I finished school for the semester on Monday.

On Tuesday all I did was paint my nails.

I couldn’t decide which color to go with.  I ended up with a good mandarin is hard to find! (love the OPI nail polish names!!)

And watch a Ghost Whisperer marathon.

I’m totally not kidding- that’s all I did all day!  I’ve been so sick lately that I really really just needed a day of rest where I didn’t do anything except let my body heal.  I’ve had bronchitis for almost 4 weeks now and I’m just now starting to feel better! 

And P.S. I LOOOOVE Ghost Whisperer!  And I think Jennifer Love Hewitt is maybe just the cutest thing ever!

Wednesday I cleaned a little and went to yoga and today I actually ran!  Hooray!  I think I’m almost back to normal except I still have to be on my inhaler even though I’m done with the steroids and antibiotics.  I needed it during my run today so I stopped running after about 2.5 miles- I didn’t want to push it too hard before my lungs are ready.

I guess I’ll stop being lazy now and get back into the flow of life.  I’m still trying to register for A&P in Maymester, but DCCCD is kind of dragging their feet getting my transcript processed so I can register.  So I may not be able to get into that Maymester class.  I’ll probably end up taking it during one of the regular summer sessions- no biggie!

 

Glad to be back to blogging again- lots of posts and recipes planned, can’t wait!!
