Good morning/afternoon all! I thought I would drop in to update since it has been a while. I've been completely exhausted with school work, kids, house work, and trying to keep up with some kind of fitness routine! I'm a horrible blogger, and I know this. Haha!
This week ends two of my classes, so things should slow down for a bit. I will only have two until December, with a week or two break at the end of October. I took 19 credits this last semester! It's looking like next semester is also 19. Spring classes will be about 27 credits. 6 classes, but the majority are worth 4 credits a piece. After that, I will have my A.A.S. in Health Sciences and can start looking at nursing schools! I'm pretty excited over this, but I am also pretty tired. I spend a lot of my free time studying. My exercise routine has suffered quite a bit.
Yesterday, I woke up and decided that I would start a round of Insanity. Unlike my rigorous 2 hour sessions in the gym that work around their kids room schedule, I can fit Insanity in early in the morning before school work. I DO NOT SELL BEACH BODY! Nor do I use their shakes. I just really like the intenseness of the Insanity program. IT gives me a really good burn and works many areas of the body. I took new "start" photos yesterday, so I will share the before and after photos, as well as measurements, when I have finished this time around.
Another thing I have started doing is forcing myself to drink more water. I downloaded an app called Water Habit that alerts me every hour. It reminds me to stop and get a drink. I was really good about drinking about a gallon a day for a while, but for some reason I stopped. Not sure where my mind has gone, but it just hasn't been on health here lately. So, I'm making it harder to forget about health goals!
One of my classes right now is actually a nutrition class. I thought it would help me to stay on track if one of my classes focuses on nutrition. I'm signed up for Sports Nutrition for next semester, so I will have another one constantly reminding me as well.
As far as weight loss goes, I haven't lost any in a while. I've sadly been a bit lazy and traded in about 4% of muscle. My body fat percentage was at 26%. Right now it is at 30%. I'm hoping I can quickly correct this issue, as I am very irritated that I lost sight of my goals for a bit.
Well, that is what I have been up to lately for anyone interested!
