180 Update
So far, so good. Really, the pivotal thing for me when trying to get healthy again is working out regularly, and I’m proud to say that I’ve been good about it. I think (fingers crossed) I’ve found a routine that works for me, at least for now. I’ve done Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred almost every single day of the past two weeks. Today, I moved up to the Level II workout. The Shred is working for me for several reasons: I can do it at home; it’s fast-paced so I don’t get bored; it’s challenging without being discouraging. I’ve also gotten into the habit of getting up when Chris is leaving for work and doing it right away. I like the feeling of having it over with as I go through my day, because part of my aversion to exercise is due to the fact that I obsessively dread workouts. I can’t really obsess over it if I do it right away. This is very good for my anxiety. I’ve coupled that with longer walks with Asher every day, and a little bit of Wii. I’m not interested in doing anything hardcore like PX90; I had many years of being consumed by fitness and that time is over for me. Like, really, really, college-drinking over, despite the fact that I get a kick out of looking at my muscles when I played soccer 24/7. But I also wore a tube top during that time, so take that for what it’s worth. → continue reading
