Working Out
I took a long break from the Bar Method and tonight was my first time back. For those who are not familiar with the Bar Method, it is an exercise class that combines ballet, yoga and weight training by using minimal weights through dumb bells and focusing on using your own body weight instead. It is a challenging class. I would say that the most challenging part is the use of the ballet bar for balance while repeatedly doing various types of squats on your tippie toes. I really need to get back into the routine of this class because even though it's torture during the hour of the actual class, I feel so good afterwards.
Though I'm trying to get back into the swing of the whole exercise thing, the healthy food part is even more challenging. Isn't it horrible how organic and/or healthier foods are much more expensive than junk food or fast food? Not to mention that fast food is more convenient to buy. Well, I fell into the trap of purchasing 2 extra large pizzas at safeway for 5 dollars each over the weekend. I have one sitting in my fridge as we speak. After Bar Method, I ate japanese food at a restaurant instead of the pizza slices waiting for me at home. I'm pretty sure I made the healthier choice but how can you really tell.
Well, I'm not going to go overboard with all this but I am making a conscious effort to get fit for 2010 much like many Americans. We'll see how it goes!
