With this comes all the competition for the treadmills at the gym. You know all those New Years Resolution Breakers!!! Give them time! lol. I'll head in next week because I solved that wait for equipment... I still manage to run outside when given the chance (when it isn't too darn cold). I am equipped with my Ninja outfit, lol... or B&E outfit... it is not very flattering and really it's intended to protect my face from the cold wind!
Do you all agree, Christmas came and went so quick..? I got some sweet gifts, and and together my man and I bought a spin bike for ourselves. I love the fact that he is just as pumped as I am about fitness. It sure helps to have your partner being supportive. I had bought some wicked spin Dvds as I am a gal that can easily get bored of the hamster feel of a treadmill or spin bike. I got in contact with Gege Nacey. He's a trainer for one of the Dvds that I purchased for Spinning. It takes you on a drive through Maui Hawaii. you have the choice of selecting a trainer and music to accompany you on your 45 minute ride or or you can ride solo. I used the trainer, but I found it hard to hear him over my chain driven Schwinn. So I would like to recommend to Gene that he put a symbol in the corner of the screen that indicates to get up off your seat and when to sit, (I'm not a pro cyclist so I don't know the lingo). Also my man agreed that it would have been nice to see Gene ride up ahead for a bit and then taper out of the shot to give the impression that we are riding with him. You do see Gene but, it's an angle shot from the back of a vehicle?? Any ways, it still is the coolest Dvd, and it was what I was looking for. I think it will be jsut as useful for treadmill use, when we decide to by a treadmill next, I'll watch this and still make believe I am running through different routes and trails, in Maui.
Today I spun out a class and I am going to spin out another Dvd after I get off this addicting blogger. I'm going to try my best not to be on here too much, because I should be training! I'll give updates and if I come across cool stuff I have to share it!
I took a break today and headed off to the mall. I was in search of the perfect running outfit. That is one thing, when you start working out, reward yourself with nice workout gear. It's another way of feeling good and motivating yourself. I got the cutest little running skirt from Sport Check, used part of my Gift Card from Willy, Thanks Willy! And I bought a tank top so now I'm set. Well for now, my birthday is coming up, so I am sure I'll be asking for more! Hehe.
Well I have some goals I have set out for myself:
1) loose some poundage
2) tone up some
3) improve cardio
4) keep trying new fitness avenues
5) keep myself and everyone around me motivated
6) create some healthy dishes
7) keep signing up for running events
8) stay positive, I am the one who sets my own future
9) smile and laugh more (for those who know me... I already laugh alot)
10) appreciate everyday!
Oh and I have to add.... Did you watch the Biggest Loser? I love that show. These people working their butts off, literally and their reward is their health back! I am always so excited for the people who get eliminated, and how they continue their dedication to their health at home. They manage their family, work and lifetyle to get their health back. Now that should be motivating for us all - to get fit! I hope that everyone can schedule at least a half an hour to get active and do it with friends and family.
It begins with you surround yourself with positive supporters. It starts at home. Again, I am very fortunate, my man does support what I do and vice vesa as we want to remain healthy for whatever comes our way next, we are ready! Also nothing beats yoru family being there when you finish a grueling run!
Well I 'm off, going to saddle up!
