Me...Occasionally.

So, I have had multiple fail attempts at blogging. I'm just not that consistent, and evidently folks like to read up a lot. I also have a baby blog that I don't post NEARLY often enough to. So why start another blog? Well, it occurs to me that I would like to have the chance to occasionally (read: have low expectations people) write down what I'm doing/going through.

On Monday, I started the Ultimate Body Challenge with Academy of World Taekwondo
Now, I have been pretty active for a long time and assumed that this would just take me up a notch in my fitness. I needed to do so because I have been adding sympathy weight from Angela's pregnancy and frankly been uninspired at the gym. However active I might have been, and whether or not I spent 5 days a week lifting weights and doing an hour of elliptical machine, this UBC thing is tough. REALLY tough. Basic training may be more mentally demanding, but physically I don't think I hurt as bad. Not only is it working me out harder, but I'm eating waaaay less, and am not hungry. Eating 5 meals a day is actually awesome, even if I did dread switching to it. I also haven't had bread or pasta in a week, and I won't for another nine. Last but not least is water. I drink about 96 ounces of water a day now, and pee about every five seconds (slight exaggeration there, but only slight).

I'm really enjoying how I feel. I enjoy feeling tight in my stomach, sides and legs. I enjoy (usually afterward) the 6 AM classes. The only thing it might be missing, for me, is a weight lifting portion. My arms aren't all that worked out during these aerobic and sport fusion classes, and I'm missing good 'ol fashioned bicep curls.

Anyway, this is me...occasionally.
