(I know, so much writing. I am waiting for it to warm up outside.)
Checking in, block 1A.
First, I don’t know if I’m actually following the days right even though I’ve watched the intro like 6 times. I remind myself that moving every day and enjoying the workouts and the movements are my primary goals, so I go through them one by one. I watch the intro again because maybe I missed something.
The first workouts are good, sometimes frustrating. I hate conditioning and circuits. Murph says get good at what you suck at. Sigh. Finish off week one.
Week 2 will start just as the campus gym closes for 2 weeks. Argh. Tried to get in at exclusive local niche gym (I see atlas stones through the glass) but owner ghosts me. Join Gold’s Gym instead. Is it stupid to join a second gym? Justify the expense by noting that I need to get out more, and they have tires. Sign up for their new year’s resolution “transformation challenge” because…I don’t know why. Justify the expense by saying I’m trading out the enrollment fee for a t-shirt, a humiliating photo, and boot camp classes I will never attend.
Week 2 at Gold’s is going great, and my cute red notebook tells me that I have done better on this week than I did for week 1. Made a note that the circuits don’t suck quite as much but enjoy is not a word I would use to describe them. Can run up the stairs in my apartment, so that’s a win. Also helped moved a sectional sofa.
Other:
Found and watched the RPR seminar (the hour long one) because I had lots of spare time, and think it’s definitely worth the time because of all the extra details.
