Hey reader. I know it's been a while, but everything is moving along pretty well. I've been keeping up with all the things I committed to when I said it was time to dig deep, and I feel really good.
In addition to tracking everything I eat on my "mypyramid" app, I've been keeping up on the exercising too. Today was a pretty quality day as far as they go. I went SUP (big surprise, I'm sure. I must sound like a broken record). I also indulged in some swimming in the lake, with my board on tow. I feel like such a baby that I have to keep reminding myself that there isn't anything dangerous in my lake every time a scummy plant touches my foot. I try to paddle out to the middle of the lake, and then slide off to avoid plant contact. Either way, it's a nice change to the usual exercise staples.
Lately I've been trying to mix up the workout routine. Today after the swimming I gave jump roping a shot. I can't remember when I used it last, but I was impressed with my skills. I managed to be 17, jumping rope, and still look kind of cool. WOO!
I think I mentioned it before, but I'm a reasonably skilled belly dancer. I used to dance at least four times a week, and after Christmas that regiment slowly came to a halt. In the spirit of these nostalgic workouts I have been trying lately, I believe it's time to bring that exercise back into the routine.
I know everyone says it's important to find activities you like, but it really is true. If you haven't found one yet, I highly recommend you keep looking. I'm proof that there is something for everyone, even some unorthodox activities can be super fun, and burn more calories that sitting on the couch.
So until next time, go do something fun.
