Ugh.

10 hour shifts are hell on my fitness routine.

I haven't worked out since I started this job.

And this coming week will be more of the same.

Please, oh please, let the schedule go to 8 hour shifts soon.

Today's workout

45 squats
30 push ups
3 30 second planks
60 jumping jacks
30 overhead press, 12lbs total
30 chest press, 12 lbs total
45 calf raises
30 lunges

Really starting to feel the burn. I'm hoping that next week I can add another round to all of those. I'm also hoping that when my friend Levi gets back from deployment he can show me some barbell techniques. I REALLY want to lift heavy things!

Also, I got that job. So next week, along with hopefully adding on more reps, I'll be working around a job. Here's hoping I'm up to the challenge.

So here's a breakdown of what I've done today.

45 squats
23 lunges
20 push ups
30 second plank, 3 times
60 jumping jacks
10 bicep curls, 10lbs each hand
10 overhead press, 10 lbs each hand

My arms were pretty noodly from the push ups and planks by the time I got to the weights, otherwise I would've done more. I'm feeling pretty good about all of that. Zumba's tonight too, so all in all a good workout day.

I also weighed myself today. Since January 25th, when I first weighed myself this year, I'm down 10 pounds! Haven't done my measurements yet this week, but last time I did, my waist was down 4 inches and my hips were down 1. Hooray, progress!

Intro and such.

In case anyone who isn't my sister is reading this, my name is Shorty. I'm a Navy wife who's trying to get fit and healthy. This blog and this tumblr will be my record of this journey. Hopefully having 2 blogs dedicated to it will keep me motivated.

And here we go.

I was a bit more active today than I originally bargained for. After I spoke to the recruiter at the temp agency, I took a wrong turn and ended up walking for an hour before I got to a bus stop that could take me home. That plus the 20 minute walk I took before the interview makes me feel pretty accomplished today. (Not to mention the interview itself. By next week I might have a job.)

Nothing else exciting as of today, really. Grilled cheese for breakfast, chili for lunch, and pork chops for dinner. Oh! I put bits of avocado in the salads with dinner. That was delicious. (Ash, you should try the avocado with Italian salad dressing. It's wonderful.)

Tomorrow is a Zumba day, and possibly spin class. Maybe I'll even take Loki for a walk, since she gave me that sad look when I didn't take her with me this morning.
