Fitness and Function

I ended up finally joining a gym in May. 24 Hour fitness was my gym of choice mainly because it is close and I had heard many bad things about the second option. So far I like it. What really keeps me going is the Hip Hop Dance class. It's fun and energizing and I really feel like I can dance! lol Not that I can. The instructor is funny and just keeps you energized. I had a tough time making it through to the end of a hour long class, but now I can do it without being completely exhausted. I also attend the Zumba and Kickboxing class. I'm also happy to say I've lost a few pounds and my clothes are looser.

Getting started on an exercise program is difficult, but I can honestly say I feel considerably better since I've been exercising regularly and eating healthier. Sometimes the junk food calls my name, but for the most part I'm doing well with my new (hopefully) lifestyle.

Lazy Days

Sometimes you just need a lazy day. I spent a good half of the day sleeping on Saturday. I accomplished nearly nothing and I'm okay with that. I felt very rested and ready to take on the week after my all-out-do-nothing day. It's a rare a occasion to get one of these, so I took full advantage and enjoyed myself as much as you can while sleeping. Having lupus, your body is just tired on a regular basis. A good lazy day is great medicine!
