Build a Butch

Haven’t really had a work out in about two weeks.  I’ve just been doing push ups and crunches occasionally.  I just wish I had some motivation to get on that treadmill.  I’ve considered buying a jump rope with weighted handles.  I just haven’t done it because I have huge boobs and it hurts when I jump.  I actually forgot how much it hurts until I started doing this kickboxing class where we did jumping jacks in between excercises.  Whenever we as a class have to do them I feel really lazy because I’m the only person who does "low" jumping jacks instead of actually jumping.

I had been using the school gyms off and on for a few years.  I never went regularly but when I did go I usually pushed myself pretty hard.  I could easily knock out 1.5 miles on an elliptical (even though I hate running and all running equipment) then go lift weights for a solid 40 minutes.

Last year I wasn’t in school at all so I spent the year getting fat and lazy. I decided I wanted to change that a while ago so I bought myself a weightbench and set up the treadmill that’s been in my mom’s garage forever.  Now, I have this home gym that I use with more regularity than my school gym but it’s impossible for me to stay motivated while I’m doing it. I have difficulty staying on my treadmill for more than .5 miles because I start getting bored and stop moving my feet.  It’s actually so bad that I feel like I’m going to pass out from boredom.  Then when I get to the weights I do maybe 3 sets at an average weight and I’m done.  Plus since I only have a barbell and a simple bench I don’t feel like I’m capable of getting a full workout so I end up doing almost nothing.

I still feel "accomplished" for turning off South Park or Judge Judy or whatever and spending 20 minutes working out.  I’m taking a cardio kick boxing class this semester so I’m getting some really exercise.  But, I don’t actually feel like I’m making any progress.  We’ll see how it goes I guess.
