I got mu Zumba on tonight. Awesome class. I was kinda all over the place but I still got a good workout and as always, had a blast.
Then I went and did my lower body workout...

10 dumbbell lunges (each leg) (15lb dbs)
10 goblet squats (25 lb)
15 side lunges (each leg)
20 kettlebell swing-throughs (20 lb kb)
10 dumbbell deadlift (15 lb dbs)
20 standing calf raises (20 lb dbs)
10 reverse lunges (each leg)
15 goblet squats (25lb)
10 x 2 leg press (230 lbs)
While I'm here I feel the need to discuss a little gym time etiquette. One of the reasons that gym have lots of mirrors is not just so people can look at their hot bod as they're working out, it is so that people can check their form and ensure that they are not going to harm themselves. This is especially important when doing squats and lunges. Which as you see from above was my workout tonight. So I picked a spot in front of the mirror away from everyone else. I laid my clipboard down and set my dumbbells out, did a few workouts. Then I had to step away to do the kettlebells in a different area of the gym. and I came back and there was a guy working out between where my stuff was and the mirror. REALLY?!?! I didn't mind at first because there is a cable machine right there and that's what he was intially working on and that's just how it works out. So I waited for him to finish so that I could do my lunges, and he continued to work out there. Grrrr!!! So, todays lesson... if somebody is using the mirror don't workout in front of them!!!
That's all.
Tomorrow is a run day.

Where have I been
So one of my best girlfriends asked me about my blog today. All I could really say was that I haven't been on in a long time. And the more I got to thinking about it, and I think I stopped because it makes me face the truth. I haven't been consistent in my workouts. I haven't been weight training at all. I do my cardio every once in a while. And even Zumba, other excuses are easier to come up with these days. I'm sick about the whole thing. I feel like a total crap-head, any time someone tells me how great I'm doing and that I look great. All I can think, is that it isn't true, because I'm not doing anything, but wearing clothes that look good on me. Not that I don't appreciate their compliment, but I just can't find it in me to believe them.
My hub-dub and I are in the process of buying a house. All of my focus is going to that. Is that a cop-out? It's all I got. I'm scared to death that if I'm not consistent enough in my current workouts that it will be that much easier when we move to not do it. That's been my downfall in the past. When I'm doing really well I'll change a little something, like the time, who I workout with, whatever, and it will throw me enough off-kilter to talk myself right out of it.
I try to tell myself that as long as I just live an active lifestyle, and try to stay as close to clean foods as possible then I'll be fine. But that's just not the case with me... yet. I'm not in a good enough place to step away from making it a conscious effort. I have to schedule it. It has to be the priority. So there you go. That's where I've been, where I am. I'm posting this because I need as many people to know that I need help. I can't do this alone. Pray for me, text me, tweet me, facebook me, whatever your venue is. Please just let me know that I'm not in this alone.
Thanks.
