Summer Workout.

Today I finally got that bolt of energy to start working out again. I'm someone who loves working out regularly but sometimes my schedule is overcome by laziness. I know myself enough to know that I will workout sooner or later and when I do want to work out, I will do it right. Because I know I'm that type of person, I let myself go when I need to. For example, it's been about a month since I last worked out (not including the occasional dance in the morning or leg exercises). But now, I have the determination to start working out again and I prefer this determination to come naturally rather than forcing myself to. Of course, it would be preferable to always work out regularly and keep pushing myself which I will slowly learn to do. I'm just aware that there are some days I really don't have the motivation to do anything and will do my work out halfheartedly which isn't good because I tend to manipulate myself that I've worked out enough so I can rest even more or even eat even more.

So right now, I am going to start working out and keep doing it diligently. I call it my "Summer Workout." I need push myself slowly on a daily basis and keep moving on from there. It's easy to start but not easy to maintain a workout routine so I need to teach myself to make it a habit. I find this is a good way to teach myself to learn to make things a habit so that in the future, I can easily adapt to changes. I never really had a goal such as gaining abs or gaining triceps etc. I just want to keep myself healthy and whatever comes with it will be a bonus. Keeping healthy will be my top priority because even though having abs will be a sweet thing to have, I know it isn't realistic for me to maintain and if I don't maintain it and my abs disappear, I will beat myself up for it so I don't want to put that kind of pressure on myself. I know in the future, whether it's because of work or because my body changes due to pregnancy or for whatever reason, I will have to succumb to the change so keeping healthy seems like the best goal for now.

Right now, I'm looking at:

1. Walking the dog 3 days a week.
2. No rice during dinner (or at least one meal a day)
3. Circuit training on alternate days (the circuit training will vary)

I don't know how long I'll keep this up but it's a start :)! I'll try to update you guys but I won't be posting any pictures of my body because this blog will be public and I won't feel comfortable posting it.
