I'm on a super fitness kick. I've been grumpy-pants all week, particularly in the mornings, but this morning I woke up happy. I figured it was because I'd had such an awesome time with my tap class last night (great workout, good stress-relief) and signed up for the year-end performance (kind of felt like I was signing my life away, but it'll be tons of fun). Not to mention, I totally vegged-out last night, I fell asleep and slept straight through the night until my alarm went off and shockingly, despite only having 5.5 hours of sleep, I wasn't too tired to get up!
That lead me to conclude that I need to work out and get all those endorphins and other good things flowing more often than my once-a-week dance classes. I mean, it is proven that people who are active tend to be happier. Not to mention, in the past, I've always felt better about myself when I've incorporated some form of physical activity into my routine.
Since I have no social life - all my friends are out of town, busy with school, or both - I've decided what better way to spend my MWF afternoons than hitting the gym?! Well ... shopping, but I really need to save the money and definitely need to clear out my room first (pretty sure I'm a stage 1 hoarder, ugh).
Anyway, I've signed up for a gym membership, and am determined to kick my ass to the gym on the allotted afternoons; unless something comes up, which I highly doubt will. I started today and it felt great. I'm actually impressed I didn't keel over about halfway into my cardio workout. I lifted some weights afterwards, stretched it out, then had a quick steam.
I've also stocked up on supplements. I'm pretty good about taking my usual Vitamins C, D, and Calcium/Magnesium, so I guess it's just a few more to add on.
Here's hoping this fitness kick sticks around. (Of course, not wanting to waste the money I'm spending on a gym membership is incentive enough right now).
