My health and fitness have never been more important to me.
After losing about 30 lbs by dancing to my heart's content up in kirkland in the fall of 2008, I started 2009 with a terrible knee injury. Try as I did to get back into dance, my knee just never supported me the same way. In may of 2009, I returned back to the bay area. Ecstatic to be back in the company of my boyfriend and closest friends, I made every weekend (and many weekdays) opportunities to splurge of fun activities, wine and dine, and dine some more. A 2-week bout with the dreaded P90X was unfruitful once things got hot and heavy at work. I had gained back the weight...and then some.
2010 sent me packing to Canada for 6 months where I filled my loneliness with Yelp and Yelp community fun. Of course, Yelp-ing requires going out to various restaurants so that you have material to review. And hello, 20 more pounds. I ran Bay2Breakers in May and the Nike Women's Half-Marathon in October, and while those were such amazing days, I can't help but regret that I didn't train for those races. If I had, I know that my performance would have been much better, and I'd also be in better shape.
Now, it's 2011. I've been relocated again to a town near Yosemite called Oakhurst. No boyfriend. No close friends. Just me and the wilderness... There's no 24Hr Fitness here. The gyms that are in town close before I get home from work, and at this time of year, I just don't feel comfortable running in the morning/night with icy hills, fog, and geez... it's just COLD.
So what's a girl to do.
Well, here's what I'm doing.
After years of Beachbody infomercial brainwashing, I've just bought the Hip Hop Abs system. It should be arriving in 5-7 business days. P90X is so.... ADVANCED. Insanity is so.... INTENSE. The Firm... eh, tried that before, got bored. But Hip Hop Abs, idk, this one makes me feel good. I feel like I can do this program successfully. Afterall... I just want to dance.
Adding Team Beachbody to my homepage tabs.
Looking forward to 60 days with Shaun T.... and his hot bod. lol.
