Something about Zumba or jogging or exercise...

So recently, Russell and I decided that it was time to get back into shape. I was in pretty good shape when we met---well let's be honest, I don't care if I can run 9 miles or weigh 100 lbs or whatever, I just want to like the way I look. So I downloaded some great workout apps on my phone and we've mapped out a route to power walk/jog until we can be full time joggers. 

Today was day 1, and it went pretty well if I do say so myself. Russell is a much better jogger than I am and if I don't take him with me I know I'll quit-I know, I know...I'm not a very motivated person but I mean, I've never been one to work out really. I would MUCH rather do Zumba, that's what I was doing when Russell and I met...and my stomach was flat. :) I just want to look at myself and think, "Dang Gina, that's what I'm talking about." Right now it's more like, "Holy...what the heck happened????" I do have a zumba workout for my Wii which keeps track of how often you do it and how much you're improving. However, the T.V. is in our bedroom and there's no room for Zumba in there but we're getting a new t.v in a few weeks and I will be zumba-ing it up here in the living area 3 days a week and doing my Wii fit the other 3 days and of course, rest on the Sabbath and hopefully not gorge on my mother in law's lovely Sunday dinners/snacks. :)

TRUTH

I always tell Russell I feel bad for having tricked him. He thought he was marrying a girl who (while not "thin") looked pretty dang good. PSYCH, jokes on him, suckerrr. So, I've decided to use that as part of my motivation to get back into shape, I want to look good for him (even though he constantly reminds me that he loves my curves I'm thinking a little less curve in the tummy would be nice. ;) ) So anyhow, here's to hoping we can stick with it. And no, this is not a New Year's Resolution....oddly enough we didn't realize we were starting it at the beginning of the New Year, we just decided that today we would start but whatever! 

So here IS my New Year's Resolution---Be better about blogging. Maybe now that I have something to blog about--exercising hopefully, oh AAAAND my last semester at Tech!!!!!!--I'll be on more often. 

Until next time my lovely readers. <3
