A Few Tweaks .. to keep things interesting

So .. lately I've been revamping my schedule and thinking ahead seeing as a few things will be changing over the course of the next few months.

1. Sadly enough the last UofL home game was today ... I could cry knowing that our seniors won't be back next year .. On top of it, that also means I used my last season ticket today. The season went by way too fast .. I'm sooo sad .. :o(

2. I only have 4 sessions left (I think) with my personal trainer. I am, of course, not going to renew that. Nothing against my trainer because she's awesome, but I have spent the last year getting myself into good habits that I was hoping the trainer would help with. Mission Accomplished and I think I'll do a good job of keeping it going from here on out.

3. My class schedule right now is light but it will unfortunately pick back up in June .. dammit.


Anyway ... after March Madness unfortunately I'll have a lot more free time. At the same time I'm being relative unproductive here at home lately, wasting time on this laptop, so I've decided to both work on mini-projects and also to pick up classes at the gym instead of just going and doing whatever.

Bottom line .. I like being told when to go to the gym and what to do. While I prefer to be in charge of my life .. there are times when I'll admit I prefer it the other way around, and this is one of those times.

So .. for the past two weeks I've been taking classes .. I think 4 of them a week is what I've been doing. Mainly spinning classes and free weights because the spinning is good seeing as I can't run as far as I could in the past (doctor's orders) and the weights because I love working with free weights.

Anyway I take 2-3 classes with free weights a week and 2 spinning classes a week. Then a time or two of doing whatever, either separate days or back to back .. depending on how I'm spending my evening for the most part. If I'm wasting away in the evenings, I'm leaving my house. While I'm on the 'classes' kick I'm just going to classes. Then .. when the newness wears out I'll go back to weight training.


Good times .. and I know .. no one cares but me. But .. I am obsessed with it right now and of course I have to schedule it all out and have my trips perfectly planned out. It will take a minute to get used to the new schedule and workout routine but hopefully the change in the workout habits will get me off my current plateau .. or so I hope.


So .. today we went to the 11am spinning class for the 2nd week in a row. After that I went home to shower and watch the UK game sin Patterson. Good game though. Then I went to the vet to pick up Archie's meds, to the store, and then I met Angie at 2:45 to go to the game. In a nutshell I'm non-stop from 10:30 this morning until 6:30 tonight.

Then .. nothing.

So .. this is one of those days I wish the gym was open late because I've been wired for sound and unproductive .. therefore wasting away on this device ... but .. I'm now all caught up on American Idol and I'm catching up on Lost now, although these days I honestly prefer the TV to be off.
