Changes.

Christmas is officially over, thank God. Love my family but I don't like the pressure and guilt and all that comes with holidays.

Santa brought the best gift ever. A polar watch, but he brought the FT1 which doesn't track calories. So I acted as an elf and went back to Dicks sporting goods and got the ft4 and its my jam. It comes with a chest strap, and the HR monitor is actually really accurate. I kinda dont love the chest strap thing but hopefully I will get used to it. Though today when my heart rate hit 300, Darin and I both thought I was about to turn into the hulk or just explode and die. Turns out I'm a moron and had it displaying the calories haha.

Anyways. Today's workout was awesome. Especially in spite of the fact I hadn't worked out since Friday. Because life happens and I'm lazy. Anyways. Today started out with a 2 round treat of bird dogs, squats, a 30 second plank and some donkey kicks (that's what I call them). Then we did 2 merry go rounds of a seated row, plié squats with a heavy as hell kettlebell, the hulks and step ups with 20lb dumbbells. My shoulders are tired. Then we ended the party with the push and press, straight leg raises and boot strappers. That wasn't my jam by any means but I'm trying to complain less especially seeing as I took a 4 day hiatus and went to eating whatever I wanted whenever I wanted and not exercising.

I joined the Y today (the rush was a horrible idea) and tomorrow morning at 630 there's an "early bird" class, that's apparently a full body circuit with weights, steps (my favorite -_-) and resistance bands. Hopefully my social anxiety won't keep me from going. Though. Honestly I never in my life thought I would get up that early to go to a workout, much less working out twice in one day. I got a Lily Pulitzer planner for Christmas and I've been writing down all the calories burned and workouts I've done. Which basically boils down to "I wrote down what I did today." Tomorrow though, I get back on track. I haven't drank an entire Nalgene bottle of water in weeks. Weeks. Which is no bueno and possibly what my kidneys are hurting again.

Things have changed a lot since June. Really. And it's so weird to me and especially when I notice them. Right now my biggest things are my ability to walk what used to feel like "long distances" without being winded or tired. Also, my pants are getting entirely too loose. Which is nice but a nuisance.

Anyways. I'm also kind of tired of blogging. So I may or may not continue, mostly because sometimes believe it or not I don't have a ton to say. That's all I have for now, other than I really need it to stop snowing.
