I went to a Zumba class with one of my teammates today. That's twice this week I've done something active with a teammate. The social component of it makes it something to look forward to, instead of ,"I have to make myself work out today." I would recommend making exercise fun and inviting a buddy for anyone who is reluctant to working out after a long work day. Chances are, I would have talked myself into the walk I had with Lucky counting as my activity today. But-- I made a time and place to meet a friend, so I was held accountable and actually danced for an hour as opposed to a measly 20 minutes of walking. If you haven't tried Zumba before, you must! You forget you're even working out (and proably working parts of your body you didn't know you could work).
I like the fact that I am making it a point to do SOMETHING every day during the Game On challenge, but I do feel like I am slacking off in the exercise department. If I want to seriously lose some weight, I need to up my game in that department. I used to be someone who could eat whatever junk I wanted, as long as I worked out. Then I hit 25 and that went down the drain. The hardest adjustment for me is the eating component (clearly, I talk about food a lot on this blog). I enjoy being active, but I do admit that some days I just want to come home and relax. So, I'll consider this week as my body adjusting to clean eating, being hydrated, and getting a full night's rest. Next week I'll make it a point to get some real workouts in (resistance training, running, and hopefully I can get to my kick box cardio class).
Sorry for the short post today. I had to watch the season premier of Nashville!!!! Can I say? It did NOT disappoint! It's the little pleasures in life :)
OBSESSED.
