This Week

Here are all my excuses for why I don't want to work out this week (let alone today):


  • It's rainy and 49 degrees out.  Hi May, I'm pretty sure you're an honorary summer month so let's get with the program, huh? 
  • It's supposed to top out at 61 this week, and rain every. single. day. 
  • I'm starting hospital volunteer hours this week, Monday and Wednesday after work...that's when they had available. Figures those are my two key workout days.
  • Wednesday and Friday mornings are taken up with trips to the hospital to prove I don't have TB...don't worry, they require that to volunteer.  I don't have TB. I hope. 
  • It's really just gross out. 
  • With Monday and Wednesday night out of the question, Thursday is the only spin class I can definitely make it to this week (and for the next few weeks). Tuesday I might be able to make it to if I don't need to go to another strength class for an observational beatdown. 

Ok, mostly it's just the weather that's making me want to curl up with a blanket and a book and junk food. And the warped schedule. So to combat those excuses, here's the plan of attack: 

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday
Pushups,
Dips,
Situps,
Squats
PM: DVD of some kind after hospital		 8:15 AM: FIT (training)
5:30 PM: Spin/Strength
6:30 PM: Pilates
8:00 PM: Biggest Loser
treadmill run/walk		 AM: Maybe a workout? DVD?
Pushups,
Dips,
Situps,
Squats
PM: DVD of some kind after hospital
 5:30 PM: Spin AM: Workout DVD?
Pushups,
Dips,
Situps,
Squats
Cleaning
the house
for guests!
 Pirates 4 TBD - maybe a solo spin or something

I have an old friend coming into town this weekend to see POTC 4 (yes, that's a legit reason to drive 4 hours), so workouts from Friday to Sunday may be suspended or modified. I think screaming at the top of my lungs and jumping up and down when Jack Sparrow makes his screen debut should count as a workout, but that's just me.

Next week should be a little better, though next weekEND is Memorial Day and who knows what that'll bring. At the very least,

In other news, I did my dips and squats, and I have proof.
 Holy bajezus this is an unflattering picture. I've never thought my feet looked like clown feet and my elbows were ugly before, but this picture proved I should.
 Geesh.  This shirt is supposed to be my "sexy work" shirt.  I swear it looks better from the front!
 Proof?
 The camera was still on time delay, taking 5 pictures, so I modeled it out. The other 3 were worse than this, if you can believe it. Not a good picture day.
 Squats! Not sure what I'm looking at.
Look, ma! No head!


Ummm so yeah. Not going to take more work pictures until I don't look so...muffin-toppy. Sheesh. Maybe tomorrow I'll check the mirror on the way out the door.

    Crappy weather makes me not want to work out, either.

    It's overcast here, and it makes me want a nap. But, I really need to mow the back lawn.

    Hi Kat!

    I'm the founder of HealthRally, a new software company focused on health motivation. I found you via your fitbit tweets, and since you are an instructor I know you are health-oriented, tech savvy and like to try new things.

    We'd like you to try HealthRally and give us feedback before we bring it to the public.

    HealthRally is a private social network where you choose a health goal, pick a reward that could motivate you, and then invite your close friends and family to cheer you on and motivate you to succeed with pledges toward your reward.

    It's a new approach, and we are seeing our first group of users achieve their goals. Maybe you could try it out?

    Can I send you a link to sign in and try?

    Just send me a note at zack@healthrally.com

    Thanks!

    Zack
