New Gym

So yesterday I told you how I joined a new gym, well today I went and was not disappointed but for those of you who gym hop like I do you know what I'm talking about! So I got there and I'm looking around and even though I have my fitness routine in my head I completely deviate because when it's your first day in a new gym your too busy trying to figure out what machine does what since most locally owned gyms dont have instructions next to each machine and we all know too well that most of the time we don't know what we are doing unless its a simple machine, good lord there was this one machine there that I'm still scratching my head on it looked more like a transformer than a piece of exercise equipment! (I'll take a pic tomorrow r Wednesday so you can all understand) anyway so I swear I walked around more trying to figure out what machines I could do that would work best with my routine than I did working out (ok not really but it seemed that way) point being that I didn't do my best workout today but I still was sweating liquid awesomeness so I felt good, first time in almost 9 months that I've been on an elliptical so I only did 30 min but let me tell you I felt awesomeness doing 30 min considering I usually do 60 min sets on the eliptical!!! Tomorrow night is Zumba do we will see if it's more Latin or hip hop based, I'm praying it's hip hop based only because I did a Latin based one at Eastside and I swear I popped a hip out of place trying to keep up with the moves, that and I looked like a total RETARD I swear the teacher was looking at me in the mirror think what the heck is that girl doing, because I know I was laughing at the girl til I realized it was me in the mirror. Well that's enough for today stay tuned!

So we meet again??

Ummmm hello where did 2012 go???? I cannot believe that it is Sept 2nd....WOW. So here's a litte update for you all who have noticed I haven't been blogging regularly. Jan I fell and got hurt at work, was off work for almost 2 months and then I was back at work for 3 weeks before I got let go, fast forward a couple months I am back up to 178lbs (EEK!) I was not allowed to work out, I couldn't walk or run very far so basically I was a pile of boringness. Fast forward another couple months....I find out i'm going to Hawaii (woohoo!!) so I manage to lose 18lbs and get down to 160 before I leave in Aug....now It's Sept and i'm holding steady at 163 and i'm like this close to getting off modified work duty and being allowed to work out (if you could see my fingers you would see how close the gap is between them as I am saying "this close") I left my previous gym that I basically signed up for and wasted because I thought i'd be off modified work sooner so yeah I just flushed like $100 down the drain and they don't give refunds (seriously????) So now i'm at new gym thats a lot cheaper and closer to my house. I am starting there on Monday, i'm allowed exericse as tolerated but knowing me and everyone who knows me I like to push the limits. Unfortunately I learned that I can hyper extend my body so when I do manage to injure myself I stay injured a lot longer than normal for my age. Now i'm in good shape considering for years I didn't work out and ate whatever I wanted, My thighs, calves and biceps were rock hard (which I wish my biceps were smaller I totally hate my big arms.) But once I tasted the sweet nector of definition when I was down to 155 I was hooked. Then of course it gets taken away and although I still have some definition I look more like Gumby than Hercules if you get my drift LOL. Lets just say that I am chomping at the bit and I have my workout routine all ready to go, plus I am soooo PUMPED that the new gym offers zumba more than 2x a week, they offer it Mon, Tues, Thurs and Sat!!!!! I'll be fit in no time and I cannot wait to buy my first pair of Buckle jeans....It sucks when you bf has bought 2 pairs of them recently and I still won't try on another pair since last time because I didn't lose more weight I gained.......And I have a feeling that Santa will bring me a pair for Christmas if i'm really good ha ha.....wish me luck tomorrow the liquid awesomeness begins to pour out of my body......
