Workouts?

If you haven't noticed I have been slacking in the workout department lately.  I wasn't feeling the greatest with my cold and I decided to wait to start the new 30 day challenge this week.  Monday I decided to skip my workout in order to study because I thought I had a test Thursday and still had some reading and note taking to do (I found out Tuesday it was pushed back to next Thursday).  Then Tuesday I came home after class and was too tired to do anything.  Brad has been home sick with a fever, so I put together a simple chicken soup for him, snuggled for a half hour and then went to bed early. Last night I came home and planned on studying, but I watched a movie with Brad and did a little review. See a pattern here?  LAZY!  Actually, it was quite nice to take a little break from studying to enjoy some quality time with my honey.

Since I have been a little lazy/sick/busy and it is the beginning of March, I decided that I would wait to start the February challenge on Monday.  I know I am a month behind, but this way I won't have to wait for them to post the new workouts and I can plan my weeks accordingly.  I am still going to incorporate the P90X legs and arms into my workouts on the weekends and will start that this weekend.  I have been pretty lazy about that as well, so I really need to step up my game.  It's hard for me to want to workout when I am in classes because I feel guilty and think I need to use that time for studying, but the truth is, working out will help with my studies and make me feel better.  Plus they are short and intense and there really is no excuse to skip. 

Next week I am also challenging myself to go a whole week without sugar and to cut back on carbs. I have been slacking in the diet department lately as well, so I need to get back on track.  I don't eat a lot of sugary items to begin with, but I want to challenge myself to really pay attention to the things I do eat and to make better choices. The bad part is, I'm starting this just about the time for the Girl Scout cookies we ordered from my sister get here. :o(  I will have to hide some in the freezer for later.  :D
