My First Week!

So I would have to say that my first week of exercising was successful. I will eventually put my goals and stats, etc. on here, but I have yet to get that taken care of. I moved to Orem, Utah on December 27, 2012. So I have been here just about 3 weeks. I moved here with the intentions of getting a personal training job and starting a career that I would love to spend my entire life doing. However, that has not been the case. I forgot how insanely stressful and hard it is to find a job, especially in a college town. I have had a few interviews and am really hoping for a job, but in the meantime I am just trying to be patient and stay busy so I won't stress about it as much. Mark and I bought gym passes to the Orem Fitness Center so that we can go workout in the evenings.

I chose this place because it has a swimming pool. Now I may not be the greatest swimmer ever or the fastest, but I do like to swim as opposed to running. So last week I went and swam one day with one of my roommates and it was great! The pool is 50 meters which was a new thing for me, but I loved it! It made the swim seem faster because I wasn't turning as much. That night, Mark and I came back and did a cardio/strength training workout. I had to do a practical interview on Friday, so I put myself and Mark through a workout that I had made for my interview. Turned out to be a good idea because then I could tweak it up a bit to help me more to my advantage. The other cool thing about this fitness center is that it has an indoor track in the basement so we could run/walk on that instead of using the treadmills. I only use treadmills if I have to because it makes me feel like a hamster and I get bored super quick on them.

The next day after Mark got off work we went and ran a little bit and then did an upper body and core workout because our legs were both shot from the day before. After our workout we went and sat in the hot tub for a bit and then left. It feels so good to workout! I don't know why I ever stop working out and become lazy. Saturday we were going to go rock climbing, but after I slept in and was being slow, we decided to go do a little shopping and then we went to a UVU basketball game instead. It definitely wasn't a workout, but oh well. This week I plan on working out everyday. I had a job interview this morning, so after my interview I went straight to the fitness center and swam a mile before I came home because I knew that if I went home first I wouldn't go back. I am going back to the gym tonight and doing another workout of some sort...which I should probably make soon...and then I am going to have some chili for dinner because its so stinking cold outside. Not as cold as Big Piney, but i'm a baby when it comes to cold.
