Ahh January has been such a busy month, just like it is every year. SO much has already changed coming into 2011 and I feel like I'm going to be such a different person by the end of this year. Since I've been so busy, I've had a tough time writing on this blog. I always start a post but I either get bored of it or I don't find the time to finish it. I tweeted a couple days ago that I might just write completely random posts where I mention things that have been coming to my mind the past few days so here we go!
I really need to go to Sephora. I got a bunch of gift cards for Christmas but I haven't been ONCE. It's actually a big deal for me because I usually go at least three times a month. I'm trying to make a list of things that I need but I'm having trouble narrowing it down. I'm thinking about finding some new lipsticks. I used to absolutely hate lipstick but I think it's because I would wear it when I would do skating competitions when I was like 10.... They were my mom's so they were old and really gross. I think I should try again and attempt to break down my hatred for lipstick. Also, I really want to get the Michael Kors, Hollywood perfume because it smells delicious!!! I'll be honest I was kind of turned off when I first sniffed it from the bottle but I sprayed it on my wrist and it smells completely different. I'm holding back on buying it only because I just got my new Kate Spade perfume for Christmas... I might have to wait until March and make it a birthday present from myself, to myself - the best kind of course!
Something else that's been on my mind lately is fitness! Last year I would only work out once a week doing either yoga, boxing, or working out with a trainer. I really liked it but starting 2011, I decided I'd work out twice a week. Now I do boxing on Saturdays and then I work out with a trainer every Wednesday. After a month of doing both, I've already noticed such a huge difference. Not just in terms of weight but overall I feel so strong! The boxing is more of a cardio workout but it focuses especially on all of the muscles in my arms. My Wednesday workouts incorporate a lot of strength training. I do tons of different workouts but each focuses on a different muscle group. We usually do two sets of twenty for each exercise and almost all of them use eight pound weights.
I'm already so surprised about how much of a difference these workouts have made. They're both EXTREMELY tough. Let me tell you, I come home dripping in sweat and I have to run to the shower... Awkwardly enough, after my boxing class on Saturday I ran into one of my ex-boyfriends. I was just thrilled to see him. Anyways, yes I've lost some weight but it's not about the weight loss that's made me feel better. After each exercise I feel so much less stressed and there's automatically that sense of accomplishment. If you have the chance to go out even just for a twenty minute walk, do it! It gives you a chance to clear your mind and your body will thank you for it!
So this was my first (of many I'm sure) completely random post. I hope it wasn't too boring but I figured it's better to write something instead of nothing at all!
