Wellness

Today Tay and I went to the wellness center and did some awesome cardio as usual (some days she doesn't go because she has Tae Kwon Do), but today was the first day I did strength training with her. Wow, was that a workout. I was really glad I did it and I'm going to keep doing it every other time I'm in the gym. I also did 30 minutes on an inclined treadmill, 15 intense minutes on a crosstrainer and 15 minutes on a bike.

T asked me today, "What will you do when you get to 150?"

"Buy a dress," was my immediate response. But then I thought, yes, I'll get a dress, but it's not about that. 150 is the goal, but it's the minimum goal and it's an arbitrary weight-based goal. Furthermore, looking good isn't the goal. HEALTH is the real goal. Being able to swim and hike and run and enjoy life like I should be.

In the spirit of full-circle health, the wellness center is starting a yoga class next month and I'm doing it. I've sort of always wanted to do yoga, and I really feel like it'll help me be more flexible and comfortable with my body.

I worked hard today. Now I'm going to go eat some toast :)
