I love being in my 30’s but dang it I sure do miss how easy it was to workout and stay fit in my 20’s. Nowadays it seems like any little bad thing I eat just sits and builds up in the most inappropriate little spots if I don’t work out, immediately. I shouldn’t complain so much though, I’m happy with my body overall and love my curves and I’ve accepted the fact that I will probably never have washboard abs – although it would be so cool to just know once what that feels like.

I was actually doing really great with my gym visits up until I started school and then I noticed that my gym attendance started to slowly dwindle. Now I’m down to going twice a week, if I’m lucky, and at this stage in my life it’s not quite cutting it. This morning my friend and I finally got a chance to workout together again and as I started gaining momentum on the elliptical machine I couldn’t help but think, wow, this thing is kicking my butt today! I guess that’s what happens when you leave a gap of 5 days in between workouts. Maybe I should just be like our boy Biggie, he just carries around his little belly without a care in the world.

Well my goal this week is to get back on track with my workouts. I really miss that morning Body Pump Class, even though it’s rather insane to be getting up at 5am on a weekday, yet the feeling of accomplishment afterward is so worth it. It may not be as easy as before to stay fit but I know it helps my physical as well as mental state of mind. Plus my first 5k run is only 2 months away! It’s time to put some more miles on those tennis shoes…
