Just go! Gettout out the door is the hardest part.

Well hello there! :) Long time no read. I have a bit of time on my hands ( I relocated across the country and am now jobless) so I thought I'd do a bit of blogging! Yeah, I've turned my blog into a fitness blog and I haven't been updating. Well, the truth is, I haven't been doing too well in the fitness category. But good news is here! I am beginning again (and this time it will be for good) and I hope to be inspirational to all of you! So, to tell you a little bit about what I'm doing... it's not really a diet of any sort or a magic exercise program that will make you fit quick. It's just me and my boyfriend trying to live long happy lives. This is day two of going to the gym in the morning. We have been getting up to run but it's been so hot outside (107!) that I thought it was best to step back from that. So, today we woke up around 9:30 ish and walked to the gym. Lucky for us it's in our housing development! But lemme tell you, I was not into working out! I was/am extremely sore form the last workout and I wanted to lay around the house and sleep all day. But I have a loving boyfriend who pushed me into getting my workout clothes and going out into the heat! When we got to the gym I warmed up with a little bicycling (.7 of a mile) and then did some weight training. I worked on my legs a little with a leg press machine and  something I really do not recall the name of. But either way they both worked out my legs, which I now know are really strong. After that I did a little bit of free weights (10lbs go me!) to get  my arms in shape. Then we went on to do abs but I could only do 5! I was so sore from the 30 I had done two days before I could barely even get up! After that we decided to go into the pool and cool off, which was really nice. I know I don't do everything in my workout perfect or "the right way" but I'm learning and any tips would be appreciated. As for my diet, I haven't really changed anything yet. I am trying to eat more fruits and veggies but I'm really working on getting into the habit of exercising on a regular basis before I change eating. Lets face it, that will probably be a huge challenge. For all of you out there who think you can't get out there and exercise (walking, running, bicycling, or anything really) you can. I did even though I'd rather be laying in my bed till noon and then watch tv all day. Just remember, no matter how slow you go you're still lapping everybody on the couch.
