Better than coffee

This week I actively returned to working out.  TKD Sparring class on Monday, Kickboxing class on Tuesday, recovery on Wednesday & Thursday, and Body Pump on Friday.  I would also like to try a new class at the gym on Saturday (tomorrow), but it's at 8:00, and I may wimp out and not drive all that way.  We'll see.  I'll probably call an audible on that one in the morning and just go to another sparring class OR attempt to run the 3-mile route for my black belt test.  I've never run it, so I have no idea what the path is, but I think it's posted somewhere.  If the weather's nice, maybe I'll do that tomorrow.

I am determined to be consistent with working out again.  A good friend and I have agreed to help each other, so we are encouraging one another to go to 6 a.m. classes a couple times a week.  We went to our first one this morning, and surprisingly, I enjoyed it.  It was more effective in waking me up than a cup of caffeinated coffee.  Healthier too.  No jitters...just wobbly legs!

The goal is to alternate TKD, gym classes, weight training, and running to be healthier.  It takes up an incredible amount of time to do all these things, but I've been conditioning myself to wake up at 5:30 in order to have enough time in the day to do these things.  So far, it's going fairly well.  Having a friend expect me to meet her at the gym at 6am is helpful motivation.  I just need to get used to showering at the gym.  I need one of those towel things that have elastic at the top so I don't have to hold onto a towel when leaving the shower area.  On the bright side, if I start working out every morning at the gym, that's one less shower I have to pay for, which is helpful, since I'll probably be showering twice a day if I attend TKD in the evenings too.

Time to whip my body into shape.  Bring on the summer.
