this month was definitely a mix of highs and lows for me. in the beginning, i had a little trouble getting back into my workout groove. once i did, i found a schedule and stuck with it. Yoga class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and cycling on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, with a break on the weekend. depending on how much i ate that week, i might cycle an extra day on the weekend. i’m still struggling with controlling my food cravings, but i’m hoping that will come in time. i’ve finally managed to successfully stay a pescetarian. i’m still cycling on the rollers… they’re my standard cardio workout these days. there’s nothing very special to report this month that i haven’t already covered in a previous post, so without further ado…

March was a month in which i learned a lot about myself. i learned that my legs and cycling butt will never fit into my jeans again, and i learned that i totally burnt myself out on cycling. towards the end i switched to P90X workouts, but the damage was still done- today is the 31st, and i’m totally wiped. next month will be dedicated to finding a routine that i can stick with. one that won’t burn me out, or drain me. i’m thinking a 3-4 day rotation between cycling and the P90X dvds might do the trick… we’ll see, eh?

*as a side note, please keep in mind that every time i cycle, i cool down with Yoga stretches for at least 15 minutes, but don’t record it as such. i think it’s a given that i need to stretch after cycling.  over all, i get a decent 1 hr workout on those days.

this month was pretty spastic. there is sickness being passed around the house, so i wasn’t able to make it to the last 2 Yoga classes. the last three days the sickness lingering in my toddler has me down in the dumps, so i’ve foregone cycling this week. i’m hoping to start up again tomorrow, but you’ll just have to wait until next month’s fitness recap to find out if i did or not. my weight is not doing well… i’m going to have to go on a diet, because despite my exercise, i am continuing to gain. i hate diets, though. i hate depriving myself of the one thing i can always find comfort in. i’ll have to get over my addiction soon, though, if i want to wear anything this summer other than a leftover burlap sack out of the house. i’ll let you know how that goes.

starting right now, on the last day of every month i am going to do a recap post. rather than keep a written calender of my exercise efforts, i am going to record them here. it’s mainly for my personal reference… probably not very interesting to anybody else. i try to cycle at least every other day, and once i get better at Yoga and learn more of the poses, i will begin recording that on here as well. so, here we are…
