“ehn!”, she said attempting to lift a blade of grass
I keep forgetting to write about my workout attempts. I complete the 6 weeks of morning boot camp. After which I noticed no appreciable changes except that the workouts weren’t totally killing me anymore and that was enough for me to start with. I can dash up several flights of stairs with no problem and can haul around a 20 pound baby with out too much of a struggle.
I debated taking the class again but ultimately decided that I might was well go it alone for a bit to see what happened.
So I resurrected my love affair with stumptuous.com. I found this womans site like 3 years ago and loved it but then forgot about it. So when I was thinking about making up a new workout routine for myself I went straight there.
Weight lifting is really the only sort of organized exercising I can get behind. I first tried it in about 1999 right when I moved into my own apartment in SM after a crappy breakup. My only goals were to drink as much wine as possible and go to the gym and maybe occasionally go to class. I started with 24 hour fitness “body pump” classes which I loved and have since disappeared to be replaced with shittier versions. Anyway, weightlifting… It isn’t boring endless cardio and you see results quickly if you increase your weights right. I’ve been doing a full body routine between 1-3 times a week interspersed with interval training. I should be doing it 3 times a week without fail. but.. well.. you know.. stuff happens.
It has been about 5 weeks and can see how my muscles are changing. Mostly in the legs and I’ve gone down a pants size. so… actually that mean I am now out of my pregnancy pants. which is great and all but now i have like 2 pairs of pants that fit me. all my other clothes are still too small.
I think Vim is secretly wanting to get in on the “EHN!” action because he wenbt on craigslist and bought a weight bench. We now have a weight bench in our bedroom. Which is a whole otehr post coming soon…
