the start of 2010
am watching the navy/missouri football game replay on espn while bored out of my mind at work. 4am came around and the action just stopped dead in its tracks. im not complaining (much) but this is when i start to fight to stay awake. ugh! new years eve was uneventful as i slept through it. i wasn’t up from dealing with amateur night and definitely was not in a bar/crowd mood. we had a fair amount of snow the night before so i canceled my plans to head up to boston and just enjoyed a quiet night at home. monday my weekly kettlebell training class starts. its a 10wk class and im nervous and excited at the same time. am hoping it will break up the monotony of winter training in the gym some what. i hate running on the treadmill and the pool has just been way too busy even for my taste. im dreading my workout after work. see how many ‘revolutnioners’ show up on a saturday morning. i dont mind the crowds if they are doing something, but i can not stand the people who just wander aimlessly and take up space and my time in an already small and cramped ymca gym. i’ve signed up for my 1st 5k of the year. doing a shamrock and roll race in the spirit of st pattys day in new haven ct on march 7. running a 5k race is not a bad way to celebrate my 31st birthday. what a schedule to start too: work 5 midnight shifts per week, kettlebell class monday nights (jan-mar), emt recert every tues/thurs during january, and my gym goals. im hitting the ground running for 2010.
my goals for 2010
- pick a workout plan and stick with it
- workout every day (lifting days opposite cardio days/stretch, abs, and yoga every day) – goal is to do something every day around a hectic work schedule
- try kettlebells (signed up for a beginner class starting 1/4 for 10wks)
- 1st goal check in is my bday, 3/7. i want to be down 15lbs and at least 3% lower on my bmi
- be honest, realistic, work hard, and have fun!
- will keep tabs of my progress and struggles here
