Ok so I took a sabbatical from working out the last two weeks. I got sick and family was in town and it was Christmas time and excuse, excuse, excuse. I got lazy. And I ate naughty food. And I loved it! I did get some fun fitness presents as well. I got a pair of Nike Flex running shoes from my mother -in-law and they are beautiful! She also gave me a pair of yoga pants. My husband gave me two 5 pound weights. I am really excited about those because I was in need of 5 pounders when I did the P90x arm workout. My brother-in-law's girlfriend gave me an interval timer and my mom gave me a pedometer.
The pedometer is awesome. It tells me how many steps I am taking, how many miles I am walking, and how many calories I am burning. I realized that I do not move around enough during the day. Some days I don't even walk 1 mile during the day. So my goal is to walk 3 miles during the day not counting my workouts.
Now that the holidays are over I am ready to get back on track. I have made some fitness goals for myself. Along with my 3 miles worth of steps a day goal I also have a goal to workout every weekday this year, and not miss a day. I started today.
After we put the kids to bed my husband and I did this little workout:
Yes it was only 4 minutes but it was a good start and it was hard. At the end I was out of breath. I can't believe how much not working out for two weeks takes a toll on your body. Where did my muscles go? I need to get myself back on track and in a good place. Here's to being fit and healthy in 2013!
