Kicking Ass and Taking Names

I always get out of body combat with the urge to go around punching people in the face. If you have been my friend for a while you know that this has often been one of my threats. "I am going to punch you in the eye." However, my follow-through has been a little low up until recently. Now I really DO want to punch people in the eye. Don't be afraid to hang out with me, I don't do it. But I am pretty sure that because my fists are so small they could do some serious damage, so WATCH OUT!

I have successfully completed 3.25 hours so far in my week, and I'm feeling pumped. Some of my friends plan out their workout week, and I have been "flying by the seat of my pants". I almost think it makes it more exciting. I can't dread working out, because no one knows when I'm going...not even me. It's nice to have that freedom in my life right now.

I can tell you that after I kicked my own butt yesterday I am SORE. When I first started working out I would be incredibly sore all the time. I would often finish my workouts, shower and curl up into a little ball of pain. Now when I'm sore I know that I did it right.

Man, I could really go for some uppercuts or hair pulling right now. Better stay away from me today!

Challenge Yourself

So this week I set a goal for myself. Work out 10 hours. While 10 hours sounds like a lot (or a little depending on what kind of fitness fanatic you are), but really it can be 2 hours 5 days a week. OMG, 2 hours 5 days a week!!!! Okay, stop trying to close this blog. Instead think about the amount of time that you sit in front of the TV. If you are anything like me you have your "show(s)" that you watch every week. This commits you to at least an hour of TV, and then you get lazy, too lazy to get off the couch so you watch whatever comes on after. Yeah, I've got your number! So while you could be spending that time catching up on whatever ridiculous new reality show is on, workout instead.

I just completed my first two hours of the week, and I feel really pumped about it. I didn't feel pumped the whole time I was at the gym. Yes...part of it I was watching the second hand on the clock tick backwards while I was on the treadmill, but being finished now I feel good.

So don't throw your head back and make angry noises about it. Just do it. Do it for yourself! Or do it for me, whichever one gets you off your booty. :)
