I Got a New Way to Walk (walk walk)

After many weeks of promising myself to join a gym and get fit this winter I finally followed through! It's only day three of the membership, so obviously not much to report on but I've been going faithfully with the intent of shedding a few pounds and chiseling some abs before heading to the BAHAMAS! in February.

I started out with a mild workout of two repetitions on a variety of weight machines for your arms, which I am feeling today. I am also using the treadmill to increase stamina for running. Today I walked/ran 4.5 miles on the treadmill, which is pretty good. I didn't push myself too much but I am hoping to be able to run 3 consecutive miles by the end of this week, but probably realistically at the end of two weeks.

I have a session with a personal trainer set up for Tuesday, will hopefully develop a good workout routine to meet some of my goals, ie: fab abs 2012.

I've been in somewhat of a slump the last couple of months... winter does that to me. Watching too much tv, visiting Facebook way too frequently, and eating a few too many chocolates. New habits to reincorporate in my lifestyle: read more! workout 3-4 times a week, write in this blog 1-2 times a week, and eat healthier.
