Use Your Senses Sunday

I know. My fitness post is a little bit late. But, sunday rolled around and once again I hadn't really followed my plan. I poled a bit, and I walked a bit, and I got a bunch of research done for my Maca thesis, and i felt good about it all. I was enjoying my senses, instead of working on my fitness levels. So I've renamed my sunday fitness update to what you see above.

I also made cupcakes on sunday night, so I haven't really been doing anything this week either (although I did practise pole last night - they've finally set up a student performance night, so I HAD to start working out a choreography right away, lol).

I'm missing my motivation. So I'm making some changes - I think I was trying to do too much. So I'm cutting out my 'conditioning/pilates'. I'm bored doing pilates, and trying to add in some stretching on top of it all proved to be too much. So, my new plan is this.

- 2 pole practises a week (one is class, the other could be assisting, or my own practise at home)

- 3 cardio a week (these are turning out to be a walk on my lunch at work - once the snow melts and I buy myself a bike, it'll probably be a bike ride in fish creek)

- 4 pole strengthening exercises a week (I'm aiming for these to be a 15 minute routine I can do in the morning before work - I may break it up into 2 different sets of moves)

- 3 stretching sessions a week (following the 45 minute routine on my DVD)

put together, I have at least 5 days of exercise a week, plus my stretching and strengthening for pole, which I consider separate anyway.

As for eating healthy, I've decided tonight that I'm done with alcoholic beverages for a while. I'm also done with eating things that make me feel sluggish and tired. It's probably the beginning of spring warm weather affecting me, but I want fresh, whole fruits and veggies. I want food that makes me feel healthy and energetic.

And I want more time. I've been feeling short on time with all the things I think like I need to do. I remember way back when I felt like I had all the free time in the world. Where did it all go? Before I was working part time and going to school and hanging out with friends. Now all I do is work full time, and have dance class, and I feel like I have less time than when I was doing all that. I'm going to have to look into that one, lol.
