Adding a new workout routine to the mix.

I'm going to be adding a new quick workout routine to my current one. With the current workout routine I'm on and the 30 day challenges I've been doing, I'm hoping this won't be too much. This new one isn't too strenuous though so I'll be fine. Since I'm already doing squats, I think I'll change the 20 squats to 20 lunges. It's a wake-up, pre-shower fitness kick. I'll give it a go and see how things turn out! The routine is linked below :)

2 Minute, Pre-Shower Workout

June.3.2013

I'm not sure what it is, but I feel great today!

It could very well be from all the energy I have (I'll credit it to pushing my exercising into turbo-drive). And what's great about it is, is that it's not that kind of synthetic energy you get from chugging Red Bulls. It's like an even balance of good feeling and drive. I haven't felt this type of energy in a while, so it is a welcomed surprise.

My money situation is also looking up. If I can manage to keep leaving my debit card at home, I'll be well off for my birthday, which is in a month in a half. I'm going to try to take on extra hours at work so that I can treat myself to a little shopping spree then.

I pray that good times stay ahead for me. I've been working harder on my goals and striving to do the things and be the person I know I can be (cliche, I know). No more letting opportunities pass by without an attempt. No more wasting time. I'm proud of myself thus far, and I plan to continue.

I'm focused.

As the day winds down to a close, I look back on it and think it was actually a good day. Things going on in my life would make me believe it shouldn't be that way. But I'm happy. My money situation hasn't gotten much better, but I'm confident things will turn up. Things could be worse. I have enough to pay my rent, so that is a blessing in itself. I had to stop my 30 day challenges due to lack of time, but I'm starting it up again from day one tomorrow. I won't let missing out demotivate me as it has before in the past. I'm going to do this. And by "this" I mean everything. I'm going to accomplish a goal. I won't falter. I'm focused.

New exercises!

So, in the spirit of trying new things, I've decided to embark on a couple of 30 Day Fitness challenges. These are tasks that anyone can find on the Internet, especially Tumblr, that really help you focus on a specific goal for your fitness. And since it's only 30 days, its realistic and easy to get to! (I don't know about you, but I like seeing the end to any workout plan.) The challenges I'm going to be doing are the 30 Day Squat challenge, the 30 Day Crunch challenge, and the 30 Day Plank challenge. As you can tell, I'm really trying to tone up my tummy and my tush. Haha. Today was my first day, and it went well. I'm pretty excited about this! Below I linked the challenges I found. There may be some different ones around the Web if you want something more or less strenuous.
