Started dryland workouts for swim! Two times doing bleachers, lots of pushups, lots of jumping jacks, half a mile, and a killer ab workout. Fun Fun Fun and super sore! Also ran a mile and a half on Tuesday! :D

Workout Buddies

This week was the start of my roommates and my semester long workout plan. Yes, I have three workout buddies with which to share/inflict with the wonderful feeling of waking up sore every morning! The past two days have been fun, just seeing what we're capable of doing before we do any major stuff. This will be happening all week long, just to help us get in the groove of things before we really jump into it. For example:

Monday: Swimming (I think I might have been the only one super excited about this workout)

Tuesday: Abs (crunches and medicine balls)

Today is swimming again! Yes, you've guessed it, I'm in charge of the workout program. I also had my roommates sign contracts saying that I could use whatever means necessary, within reason, to get them to finish the workout. Then, of course, I had to ensure that I would actually work out, so I signed my own contract allowing them to torture me... This should be FUN!!! By the way, did anyone else notice that all of us are training for a triathlon? Triathlons must run(bike/swim) in the family. Haha not the best pun, but I'm working on them :)

And Here We Go!

Alrighty so for this morning's work out I cleaned for an hour! Not just dusting and folding laundry cleaning I mean the type that I was dripping sweat by the time I was done so I am totally counting that as good clean exercise!! The kids and I have a busy afternoon so there will for sure be some more sweating involved but prolly not too much more exercise... And my goal for this evening is yoga and I have to stay up most of the night so hopefully it will be energetic instead of super relaxing!

Morning workouts...ugh.

I was really discouraged when I woke up yesterday.

The basement was so cold,

my bed was so warm,

and my muscles were so sore.

So I decided not to work out...but sometimes in the morning you change your mind.

Because I tried to slack I made myself do a Jillian Michaels dvd before I left for work.

I'm such a meanie. 

:(

But I did it, it is done, and there is the workout for the day.

Oh...since it was the first day of class there was also no parking near work.

So I parked over a mile away.

That way I get a nice walk in AND avoid hitting freshman who cross whenever and wherever they feel like.

There you go!

UPdate and goals.

Let's see.

This week was good and bad as far as working out went.

Good in that I actually did some.

Bad in that I wasn't very consistent.

Thursday I did yoga and pilates.

Friday I did yoga and ballet.

Not exactly triathlon training but it makes my muscles feel oh so good to be stretched and strengthened.

Really, really good.

I start school on Monday!

My goal is to do yoga and one other activity every morning and then do some kind of triathlon training in the evening.

In case you are wondering that includes:

swimming,

biking,

and running.

I have it all scheduled out...we'll see how that goes.

Starting Swimming!

I just met with the swim team. Getting ready to start the new year! Workouts start on Monday!
