Woke up at 5:45 to take my boyfriend to work and decided to forgo my usual routine of getting back in bed as soon as I am back home and trying to squeeze in an extra hour of sleep (which usually just makes me even more tired when I wake up again). I thought about this blog on my drive back to the house and how last night I wrote that I wanted to get up and do wii fit or my yoga dvd this morning. I knew I wanted to do some sort of aerobic activity, so I went on hulu.com and went searching for some workout videos. There are tons, I’m super excited about it! I found the Self channel which has workouts ranging from 40min to an hour, but before I came across those I attempted a 30 minute cardio workout from Exercise TV, holy crap! It was so intense, I finished 10 minutes of it and thought I would die! Haha! It made me feel better after reading a few reviews that people saying they are at an intermediate level had points where they struggled. Not wanting to just have a 10 minute workout I kept clicking away. I did the arms workout by Jillian Michaels and finished off with a 20 minute cardio yoga, which I really enjoyed and was proud of myself for being able to semi keep up (when she says speed it up, I stayed at the same pace lol). http://www.hulu.com/watch/38652/yoga-and-pilates-cardio-yoga

I had been thinking about getting cable because I wanted to do the exercise shows on demand, but this is way better and did i mention FREE!! I’m too self conscious to get into a class or in the gym just yet so I really hope I can incorporate this into my daily routine and find a few that really challenge me and keep me coming back. Tomorrow I want to try one of the videos from the folks at  SELF magazine : http://www.hulu.com/self

OK well one goal down! I feel slightly optimistic already! I don’t work for another 3 hours so I am going to make a healthy breakfast and lunch for me to take to work. After work at 7 I am meeting two friends (two gorgeous and very skinny friends) for dinner. I have already decided to have some sort of salad, dressing on the side and NO BREAD!  I’ll post again after breakfast or lunch.

Thanks for reading,

This must work
