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.

Moving Day

My sister asked me to go help her move yesterday. And I'm definitely feeling it today. I'm very sore. I didn't think I did anything that strenuous. Especially since I try to exercise 4-5 time a week. Granted it's light exercise, but still a workout nonetheless. And the movers did 95% of the work. We used discount movers, so we ended up helping a bit. Moving clothes (she has way to many clothes) and breakables and things. The stairs were killing me. I begged her to try to get a bottom floor apartment this time. But the upstairs was cheaper, so she went for that. I guess I can't blame her. She doesn't mind friends, but stairs are not my friend. I was awarded for the help with lunch. Mmmm lemon pepper chicken.
