As much as I love to eat, I absolutely hate to exercise. I don't mind taking long walks, and I actually do enjoy intramural softball, but hanging out at a gym for hours on end is something that I have absolutely no interest in. Personally? I couldn't give two shits about how awesome you feel after a 5 mile run. Feeling inadequate about not being able to keep up in a spin class is a complete buzz kill for me. However, one drastic thing is forcing me to change my ways and it has a lot to do with the fact that this weekend officially kicks of beach weather.
Since walking those two miles a day is not going to get me into a bathing suit bod, I've been clearing out my living room, drawing the blinds, and sweating to Exercise TV from Comcast on-demand. I've done Tae Bo, Yoga, and a cardio workout led by a perky Australian. It's cheaper than a gym, more engaging than straight stomach crunches, and varied enough that I'm not completely bored yet. If the idea of choosing a 30 minute workout doesn't motivate me, the site of myself in a sports bra and workout pants certainly does.
I'm not in shape so this week's exercise routine has been extra difficult but I am determined to look my best for the beach. Assuming the Motrin kicks in and I have the strength to get out of bed, I'll be making a beach cameo on Saturday.
About Me
- pahkcah02
- Boston, Massachusetts, United States
- I am a 28 year old sales rep who spends most of the day working out of a "virtual" office, which in reality is actually my bedroom. I started this blog because I've always enjoyed writing and having people actually read my blog is the ultimate ego-boost. I originally started off on MySpace but recently decided to join the "big leagues" here on Blogger. For the most part, I'm your typical scotch-drinking, potty-mouthed nice Jewish girl living in the suburbs of the greatest city in the history of western civilization, Boston, Massachusetts. I first left my area code during college, when I interened at a dotcom in London. You'd think that after meeting all sorts of interesting people from diverse cultures that I would become some type of open-minded intellectual. Completely fed up with whiny Euro-trash, upon my return to Boston I quickly became a registered Republican - I haven't looked back since. I like to write about everything from "global warming" to quirky travel stories to one hit wonders recorded in the 1990's. If you'd like to comment that's fine, so long as you're not an asshole about it. Thanks for stopping by.
