It's been nearly two full hours since returning from my spin class and I just realized how out of shape I am - as the soreness begins to creep up to the tips of my fingers! I've also succumbed to the pressures of instagram's #transformationtuesday and have taken body shots of myself (no I will not be posting them - UNLESS I get skinny). But I did decide that added to this 23 days of thankfulness, I should add 23 days of fitness to stop the aging process!
Maybe you, like I, keep saying I'll eat less carbs....
I won't drink anymore..
ok I won't drink during the week...
ok I won't drink alone.....f*ck it, pass the wine.
So instead of cutting all the things I love cold turkey, I will start with at least committing to the gym and more activity. Join me internet friends! :::in Spartan commander voice:::
Although in reality, all I want is some cake right now.
Anyway, I am attending an awesome gym (Urge fitness - Ewing, NJ) and 3x a week, I know I will be there for an amazing Zumba, Spin or Dance Party class, but the weekends are the hardest for me to get in some fitness and not reach for a cupcake or a glass of wine.....or both. So I'm working on this Power of Three thing and since yesterday started the 30 day squat challenge AND 3 mile a day challenge. Now before I get all Richard Simmons on you, let's stay positive.
FYI, youngin's this is Richard Simmons aka god of spandex shorts.
And here is the squat challenge! P.s. the 3 mile challenge can be walking/running.
Hope some of you get started, if not here's my list of the day.
Day #2 - I am thankful for:
1. You- All of 149 of you that bothered to read my first post yesterday. Thank you, you rock.
2. My sister, Madeleine - who without I would have no one to compete against for the most awesome Velez family member. AND who I contemplated leaving off the list again so she'd continue to read posts.
3. Visine - which I've been addicted to since I started using contacts but now more than ever.
4. My boss - who is really trying to make me a better person.
5. Dinner Service - I'm so blessed to work where they provide me with dinner. I get to go to the gym and come home and scarf a delicious FREE meal.
6. Nic Campbell - Who was the first person to shout me out on my road rage during my first job recruiting. I saw this video yesterday about this crazy road rage battle and have not been able to stop thinking about it.
7. Avocados - They make my life better. Try these.
8. Makaya Jackson - who despite our distance, always manages to check in with me and make me smile.
9. Renata Ruiz - who unexpectedly came to visit today a midst her busy schedule.
10. Orange is the New Black - which ignited an odd obsession with prison life in me. Yes, I follow her on Twitter and Facebook now. lol
