Working it out

I have been in DESPERATE need of a workout routine lately. My energy levels have been low and work has been stressing me out – both of which can be cured (or at least ameliorated) by a little cardio. But instead of starting some sort of routine, what have I done these past few weeks?

- made an awesome workout mix
- looked for an armband for my ipod
- when told my ipod was too old (1.5 years) to have accessories still available in stores, decided to purchase an ipod shuffle
- went to the Nike outlet looking for workout clothes (didn’t find any good ones that were cheap enough)
- purchased an armband to hold my cell phone and keys while I workout
- not worked out once.

I’m hoping that by adding “blogged about my inability to get off my lazy ass” to this list, I will get one step closer to doing just that.

In my own defense (and in order to make excuses), I’d like to list my obstacles here:
- I can’t afford a gym membership.
- I hate running with a fiery passion that burns deep inside.
- My bike doesn’t fit me very well.
- I work late often.
- I am NOT a morning person.

But I do WANT to work out, and I do like the feeling I get afterward… So clearly I should just do it. So, with the Internet as my witness, I’m going to work out tomorrow.

After that? I’m not making any promises. But let’s just start with tomorrow.
