damn do my Abs hate me.
So I finally added ab crunches to my workout routine, and damn is my stomache sore. The weird thing about it is, I kinda like it.
ever since I quit smoking, I started exercising again as well. Cause I will be damned if I quit smoking and gain even more weight. I think I would kill myself. So every morning I wake up and walk about 2.5 - 3 miles. I want to get to the point when I can jog that, or at least do some power sprints, but I gotta start somewhere.
Its nice that my mom decided to be my walking buddy...because we keep each other motivated. She was worried that she would always be the one to drag my ass out the door...but in actuality it has been me that is pulling her. I loved our walk today, because the weather is soo nice and cool that it made the walk awesome...usually I am sweating ass because of the heat..but today was sooo nice.
So after the walk, I do my stretches and work out on my yoga ball..I need to find some good exercises to do on that thing, cause its wicked fun... even just to go crazy and bounce is fun. It makes me feel like I am a kid all over again.
So I am thinking about joining the YMCA again, but before I do that I want to give it a couple more weeks to instil this routine in my brain. Cause what I would do would be go for my walk with mom...and then head to the gym right afterwards for more cardio.
My goal...which I know that if I keep this up, is to lose AT LEAST 35 pounds before I go to Israel...which is in 10 months. Now everyone says that you lose about 2 pounds a week...which really means that in 10 months...I could lose 80 pounds...which seems a little far fetched to me. So I will set my goal at 35.
I started school yesterday. economics class with my friends Matt and Keri. teacher seems a little strict...but has a good sense of humor. So hopefully it wont be a problem.
I have that class in the morning as well. Friggin cost me 122 bucks for the stupid book. It is so ridiculous how much they charge for books. DAMN...
So tomorrow night I have my first teaching class.
I cant remember which one it is...Either Into to Education or teaching a diverse population.
I know that in this semester I have to volunteer at a school for 15 hours....I hope that I can use my teaching with First Defense for this...cause if not...I may have a problem.
Anyhow..
I worked tonight and made pretty good money.
I gotta save at least a thousand bucks for this trip...and mom said that she will cover the rest.
Trying to put aside 5 dollars a day...which could add up to 1500 before we leave. Good thing I quit smoking..cause that would be my cigarette money.
Anyhow...Im tired time to snooze.
